Destiny 2’s Season of the Witch brought more than just a Hive-powered Eris Morn. Longtime players were also pleased to see the return of one of the original Destiny’s first raids, Crota’s End. Taking copious notes over the years regarding the triviality of the original raid, Bungie has turned this version up to 11. Here are the best builds and load-outs for each encounter.
What are the best load-outs for Crota’s End in Destiny 2?
Please note that “best” is entirely subjective. If you’re able to add-clear just fine with something likePSI Hermetic V, then go slay. If you’re willing to try something new, however, here are our recommendations.
The Hellmouth
The Hellmouth is where players will begin their journey into the depths of Luna’s surface to take down Oryx’s spawn. There isn’t anything particularly difficult with this first encounter as it is the introduction to the Chalice of Light raid mechanic.

The Abyss
This encounter is all about forging ahead in the dimly lit corridor from the Hellmouth. Guardians will encounter Thralls as they manage their Light and Dark levels and light lanterns along the way. While dealing with the Thralls, Guardians will need to keep an eye out for the swinging weights and multiple holes. At the end of the hallway, Guardians will need to build another bridge.
Subclasses
Oversoul Throne Bridge
Yet again, Guardians will have to build a bridge to progress. One Guardian will stand on a platform to charge the bridge while two other Guardians are dedicated to standing on the Annihilator Totems. There will be a lot of back and forth in this encounter as the fireteam works across the bridge.
Thrallway
The Thrallway tasks Guardians with juggling the Chalice of Light to pass through barriers. Once a Guardian has made it through the barrier, there will be a Shrieker that needs to die so the barrier comes down.

Ir Yut, the Deathsinger
The Ir-Yut encounter is full of all kinds of enemies. In addition to the hordes of Thrall, Guardians will be taking on numerous Knights, Shriekers, and Wizards. Finally, there are multiple damage checks for Ir Yut herself. Guardians will need to hit hard from the very beginning of the encounter and keep that going until Ir Yut falls.
Crota, Son of Oryx
You’re finally here. In addition to the usual riff-raff, Guardians will have to deal with Hive Boomers, Sword Bearers, Wizards, and Ogres.
