Introduction

Challenge Modes

Deathsinger Challenge

To fulfill the requirements for this Challenge, the players must slay Ir-Yut with the sword of a Swordbearer. To force a Swordbearer to spawn, every enemy in the encounter must be defeated in a timely manner. The first wave of enemies is comprised of Knights and Acolytes in the center of the arena and on either wing of the platform of that encircles the area. This wave also includes Knights in each of the towers; slaying them will cause a Wizard to appear on both sides of the interior hallway. Once the Wizards have been dealt with, two Shriekers spawn on either side of Ir-Yut's chamber; once they have been destroyed, the barrier surrounding the chamber will fall and the two Knights that appear inside must be killed.

Do not touch Ir-Yut at this point.

Once the Knights have been slain, another wave of enemies will spawn outside; this wave will be comprised of three Ogres, three Knights in each of the towers, and numerous acolytes. Once all enemies have been slain, the Swordbearer will spawn from the center door in the outside arena. It must be killed, its sword taken, and Ir-Yut slain. Note that this must be done with the sword. A single heavy smash (R2/RT) will kill her regardless of her remaining health.

This entire encounter has a time limit of roughly two minutes and fifteen seconds (2:15). If Ir-Yut is not killed within this amount of time, she will wipe the fireteam.

Crota Challenge

To fulfill the requirements for this Challenge, the players must slay Crota without the same player having touched the sword more than once. This is the only requirement. Note that this also applies to dropping the sword, meaning that if a player drops the sword before it disappears and then picks it back up, the Challenge attempt will fail. The easiest way to complete this challenge involves no more than three swordbearers and should generally proceed as follows:

Player A takes the sword.
Crota kneels. Player A hits Crota (R2/RT) three times and backs away.
Crota summons Oversoul 1. It is ignored.
Crota is immediately forced to kneel again.
Player A hits Crota three more times.
Oversoul 1 is destroyed by the rest of the fireteam.
Crota summons Oversoul 2.
The entire fireteam destroys Oversoul 2.
Adds phase/restock ammo.
Player B takes the sword.

This process repeats until Player C picks up the sword, by which point Crota should be close to dead. Note that Crota will Enrage after Player C's first three attacks with sword; however, this will not affect anything and simply means that he must immediately be forced to kneel once more and then killed.

Enjoy your loot.

Strategy Guide

The Abyss

Turn your Brightness up (This can help with holes which lead to the Deep South)
Bring 'Crowd Controling' weapons (Things with Firefly / Lots of bullets)
Use your Super, don't be shy when there's like 20 Thrall chasing you.
Tethers for slowing down chasing Thrall with Light of the Pack to share with your team - Ward of Dawn paired with Helm of Saint-14 to blind the packs chasing / protect the team - Stormtrance to tear through waves of Thrall - Crowd management is Key
When the Lamps turn orange - RUN to the next one
Stay as a group and try and move together

Bridges

This encounter has changed with the update. Have fun, be patient and willing to learn
Powerful & close range weapons can be key here

Ir Yut, the Deathsinger

She is a witch (Of Cuba) that sits in the middle Crystal room but again, this now has a challenge mode linked to it so be patient and willing to learn as the encounter may have changed. Rockets, Sleeper Simulant, Decent Sniper or Exotic Sword served well previously
Previously, she 'Sang' starting off a 30 second timer. If this ran out, you wiped. Stay on your toes and don't let that set off any panic

Crota

At this point, there is NO health regeneration. Certain armor and weapons can help with this details below
Gjallarhorn / Sleeper Simulant - Decent Sniper for Knights / Wizards
Bladedancers are usually the 'GO TO' Swordbearer as they have abilities to go invisible. The old trick was to grab sword, crouch to go invis, team rockets Crota (Crota kneels), Sword him then DROP the sword and melee crota to go back invisible (Using Bladedancer Perk - Escape Artist), Rockets come back after his Shield goes and 2nd damage phase before running to safety - Don't be shocked if people ASK for Bladedancers to run sword
As you are new I'd expect you won't be the Sword bearer (But please try it, it's awesome)
Helmets / Weapons with healing perks can be a big advantage here. Helmet perk to look out for is 'Infusion' - Replenishes health each time you pick up an Orb or 'Better Already' - Shields Regen when picking up an Orb. Weapons that can do this - Red Death, Suros Regime
Consider using Supers in the 'Crystal Room' before Crota. Creating Orbs here and matching with Regen perks with picking up Orbs can save lives
Again, Challenge mode linked could change how this plays out
