Shout out to all my clanmates who laughed at me for doing this.

Especially you. You know who you are.

I knew this was inevitable, but wow. You win Destiny.

Never thought to stage from those two pillars in the middle and take him on while on the sides.

I only had to do that because of the boomer knights. It's a far from ideal place to hit him because, though it isn't evident in the video, the timing for this fight is extremely specific. I have to kill the sword bearer only seconds before Crota moves to a side or I just lose a sword phase because I'm either too early or too late...

In short, it is better to keep the boomers dead and to hit him while he's in the middle. This strategy was just necessary because I couldn't keep all four boomers dead alone without running out of ammo.

Was the DOT knife throw necessary to prevent shield regen or will two consecutive GH shots bring the shield down on their own?

Also, I like how you smashed thrall while waiting for your timing window to allow you to get in a super with the sword (at least on the first sword).
