  • NEW STRIKE — In the Jovian Complex, deep in the old Cosmodrome, lives Omnigul. Here, she works to expand the Hive army in preparation for the return of her master, Crota, and the Hive’s invasion of Earth. Only you and a fireteam of brave Guardians can eliminate this threat, moving closer to saving our world and growing your legends.

    – SKYSHOCK: An old interplanetary defense array plays host to Earth’s newest Crucible arena. Skyshock Array’s offers both vehicle and infantry engagements, creating a varied battleground, where the Last City’s Guardians must use all of their skills.
    – PANTHEON: Deep within the Black Garden, in an ancient Vex temple, lies a new Crucible arena. The symmetrical Vex-designed landscapes feature tight corridors and open thoroughfare, allowing Guardians to bring the intense fight to each other.
  • NEW STORY MISSIONS AND QUESTS — After years hiding amongst the Hive shadows, a new character, Eris, has come forth bearing an ominous warning: The Hive seek to summon a god, Crota, to destroy the Earth.

Story Mission 1: The Fist of Crota

Welcome to the Destiny: The Dark Below walkthrough for the first DLC expansion!

Doug will be your voice-over commentator showing you around the game’s areas.

A new Tower character, Eris, has come forth bearing an ominous warning: The Hive seek to summon a god, Crota, to destroy the Earth. Find her in the Tower…

Next, complete her quests and three new story missions. Face what waits in the dark below. Time to burn back the shadows in this first story mission called “The Fist of Crota”!

Story Mission 2: The Siege of the Warmind

Story Mission 3: The Wakening

Strike Mission: Will of Crota

Weekly Nightfall Strike Mission: Will of Crota

Strike Mission: The Undying Mind (PlayStation Exclusive)

This Strike Mission is exclusive to PlayStation consoles until Fall 2015.

Raid: Crota’s End

First attempt at the Crota’s End Raid starts at 4 minutes into the playthrough video.

Lots of great tips, but don’t expect it to be perfect yet on the first day.

Tip: How to beat Crota’s End Raid? Use Suppressor Grenade!

Suppressor Grenade stops ALL enemy skills. That doesn’t just mean in the Crucible. It also works in PvE as well. So all those Knights that pop up their shield won’t be able to do that anymore. You’re a waste of a Defender if you’re not using that grenade in a party. Their whole purpose in the game is to support the team by debuffing with Suppressor and buffing with Ward of Dawn.
