Crota's End is the shortest [[Raid]] in [[Destiny]]. It doesn't feature any waypoints or markers to guide your fireteam, just like the [[Vault of Glass]]. The raid features three main sections: the Abyss, the Bridge, and [[Crota, Son of Oryx]]. Your fireteam starts out near the edge of the [[Hellmouth]], where you must go to a large, circular platform in front of an invisible bridge where at least one member of the team shouls stand on it until the platform fully forms. There is a dead ghost that is on one of the pillars to the left of the plate to be collected. Once the bridge is fully formed, the team crosses it and jumps down into a pit known as The Stills. Down in the pit the team should see a lamp in the distance, glowing blue. The team will use them to navigate the smothering darkness. For the duration of this section, your team will have a debuff called "Weight of Darkness". This means characters will move slower and the effect can stack up to ten times. Standing near one of the lamps gradually removes this debuff and allows players to catch up to one another. However,when the first person in your team reaches the lamp, it starts a timer. After the timer is up, the lamp will explode, possibly killing anyone standing too close. The other major obstacle in this part of the [[raid]] is that there will constantly be waves of [[Thrall]] trying to kill you. There are both the regular variety and the exploding ones to look out for. Occasionally there will also be a [[Knight]] that spawns as well. This means that the team must constantly stay vigilant in order to not get overwhelmed. After the team traverses the darkness and completes the maze, there will be a large plate just like the one at the beginning. Your team must stand on the plate to activate it, although while the process goes faster the more people are on it, you are not required to stand on the plate. This grants greater mobility to players in avoiding enemies. Once the bridge at the end of the maze is constructed, the debuff is lifted and players may now sprint into the light at the end of the tunnel to advance to the next encounter.

Players emerge from the tunnel out of the Abyss and now overlook the [[Oversoul Throne]]. On the left of the platform players can see the Oversoul, which grants [[Crota]] his power. There are three parts to this encounter. First, divide up into three teams of two. Send two teams to the sync plates on either side of the area. The third team should go and take the middle plate. These plates are how the bridge forms, and there are three of them on the other side as well. All three plates must be held for the bridge to be formed. Once the team in the middle takes their positions on the middle plate, the encounter begins. [[Thrall]] will climb over the edge of the platform and will attack you. keeping the enemy population in check is key for the rest of the stage. After a few seconds, a [[Swordbearer]] will come out of a door at the top of the staircase located in front of the center sync plate. after killing it, one player should take the sword and go across the bridge. Once across, a [[Knight]] similar to the [[Swordbearer]] will come out, which is known as a [[Gatekeeper]]. These [[Knight]]s are blue in color and can only be damaged by the swords. Once the [[Gatekeeper]] has been killed, the sword will disappear. This process repeats until all six players have crossed the bridge. In order for the second set of players to come across, the ones already across the bridge should step on each sync plate on the other side of the bridge. This allows the three players that haven't yet crossed the bridge to focus on the rest of the enemies. As soon as all six players have crossed the bridge, six swords will appear. Using these, kill all of the [[Knight]]s and [[Gatekeeper]]s that will spawn. Successfully doing so will open the door at the far side of the bridge, allowing the team to advance to the next encounter.
