Amongst the greatest of Crota and Omnigul's spawn was [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota|Hashladûn]]; eldest of four daughters along with her sisters [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota|Besurith]], [[Kinox]], and [[Voshyr]]. Even as a young [[Thrall]] she came to Crota's attention, as she was able to contend with [[Knight]]s in strength and size. Intrigued by Hashladûn, Crota ordered her inundated in the old way of floods to remove her excesses and leave her distilled down to her most powerful form through purification. Hashladûn fought the forces Crota sent against her, slaying them all, but Crota himself then came for her, even more deeply impressed by her love for him expressed by her strong display of will in defying him. Dragging his daughter to a floodplain in the Ascendant Realm, he impaled her to its base in six places and began the ritual of inundation. Hashladûn survived the ritual and emerged weakened by the ritual but stronger for it, murdering the first living thing she encountered to regain her strength. Crota came before her proud and impressed, but in sorrow informed her that in her newfound greatness she could not love him, as most of what had been his in her had washed away and left behind only what was of her grandfather, Oryx. With a cry of joy and grief he cut a hole in his realm and cast her out of his court to join the ranks of his father's.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Weblore]]: [[Weblore#Hope|Hope]]''</ref>

Despite this great victory for the Hive, Crota's plans for further conquest of humanity were put on hold due to a series of unforeseen circumstances. Within the Ascendant Plane, two [[Knight]]s - one of Oryx and one of [[Xivu Arath]] engaged in a duel in honor of their respective masters. The duel ended in a draw, but both flung themselves into the depths of an abyss, and so the Knight of Oryx failed to make his tribute to a champion of Crota. This setback cost Crota's champion a significant tribute at the necessary time and thus led to his defeat in a duel against a sergeant of the God of War. Having suffered a major loss of his temples and tributaries for his father, Crota judged it best to sleep upon his throne world and recover his tithes while his soul remained tethered to an Ascendant [[Soul of Crota|crystal]], giving him a quick means of return to the real universe once his strength was restored.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Weblore]]: [[Weblore#Dust|Dust]]''</ref> He would also entrust his own sword to the four Swarm Princes of the [[Hidden Swarm]]; to guard within the depths of the [[Hellmouth]] until his return to the physical world.<ref name="SP"/>

Crota's battle in the reprised Crota's End is similar to his original version, incorporating the changed mechanics of the Raid. Crota fires Darkness Blasts at an increased rate compared to his other appearances in the game, and his Sword deals [[Arc]] damage, though still immensely high. As before, players can only pick up Swords if they are Enlightened. The Presence of Crota debuff does not stop regeneration, but makes it so the Chalice of Light can only be claimed if both players stand in one of the pools of Light around the arena.
Crota's battle in the reprised Crota's End is similar to his original version, incorporating the changed mechanics of the Raid. Crota fires Darkness Blasts at an increased rate compared to his other appearances in the game, and his Sword deals [[Arc]] damage, though still immensely high, killing in two hits on Normal and one-shotting even 100 Resilience players on Master. As before, players can only pick up Swords if they are Enlightened. The Presence of Crota debuff does not stop regeneration, but makes it so the Chalice of Light can only be claimed if both players stand in one of the pools of Light around the arena.


To make Crota vulnerable, players have to hit him with their Cleavers until his shield is downed. He will then stagger briefly, become vulnerable to normal damage, and then start fighting back again. It is likely that Crota will destroy [[Well of Radiance|Wells]] and [[Ward of Dawn|Wards]] placed by the fireteam, so higher caution is advised. When the damage phase starts, the Oversoul will start growing, with an on-screen countdown. It must be shot to stop it from wiping the team, but it will only take damage from a player that is Enlightened. Once Crota reaches the last fifth of his health, he will become briefly immune before engaging in a last stand. Players now must kill him quickly, still contending with the Oversoul. Depleting Crota's health will conclude the battle and Raid.

Depleting Crota's health will conclude the battle and Raid.
 
During Final Stand, a glitch occurs where even if Crota dies, the Oversoul will still wipe the team. However, when Crota dies, the room is no longer a Darkness Zone, meaning players can respawn. When the [[Oversoul]] timer reaches 0, apply any damage-over-time you have to possibly kill Crota after the team is killed.

*It is mentioned in ''[[The Taken King]]'' that only Ascendant Hive could enter the Ascendant plane, those Hive which had killed enough to gain admittance. This meant that the means of how the Guardians accessed the Oversoul Throne on the Moon are unknown, as they did not follow the philosophy of the killing logic. A logical explanation is that Crota bled his Throne over into the Moon, becoming one and the same with the planetoid, meaning the same mechanics which allowed Guardians free roam on the Dreadnaught enabled them to enter Crota's realm, through the simple act of killing. The reason for Ascendance is because Guardians had not been killing long on the Dreadnaught, meaning it was necessary to steal Crota's soul.
