Crota’s End: Deathsinger
The third part of Crota’s End is probably the most difficult. This section gives you the task of making your way to a summoning crystal and defeating Ir Yut the Deathsinger, a powerful wizard that defends the soul of Crota. You will have to deal with waves of hallowed knights, wizards and shriekers before you can even place a shot on Ir Yut. To top it all off, you must defeat her before she completes her song of death which if you can’t tell instantly kills everyone in your fireteam.
Once you begin this section, you may notice that there are a lot of enemies in the room with you and almost all of them have yellow life-bars, meaning they are extra powerful. Most of your fireteam will probably be tempted to take each and everyone down, but that would just be a waste of time and ammunition. What you want to do is split into two teams of three in order to target only the necessary enemies.
You will notice that Ir Yut is behind some type of barrier and is completely safe from your attacks. The only way to crack that shell is to take out two shriekers which can be found in the rooms beside her. Of course, those two shriekers are being protected by two powerful wizards. The easiest way to tackle this obstacle is to take two from each team and have them find a high vantage point safe from the knights on the ground. Next, have the remaining member run into the shrieker rooms to lure out the wizards.
Once you take out the wizards, have someone on your team run in to defeat the shrieker and then run back out so they don’t get killed by the homing attacks afterwards. Now just have everyone swarm the center room and take out Ir Yut. She won’t leave that room so she’s an easy target to lock onto but she has quite a bit of guards present when you confront her. Get up on one of the many ledges in the room in order to avoid the brunt of the knights’ attacks. Once she’s defeated, all you have to do is eliminate the remaining hive that you see and you’re that much closer to defeating the raid.
Although this part seems simple, it can prove to be the most difficult due to the sheer number of enemies on the screen at all times. Focusing solely on your primary targets is a daunting task but one that is completely necessary if you are to have any hope of defeating the deathsinger in time. Rocket launchers are your best friend during this stage, so let those rockets fly and after a few tries you’ll have the routine mastered.
