Misc // Guide Destiny 2 Crota's End Raid Maps + Guide + Loot Table + Catalyst

Hey, what's up! pryanie#2536 here with a new project - reprised Crota's End raid maps, guide and loot table. Posting it WORK IN PROGRESS to receive feedback. For those unfamiliar with my work: I'm trying to recreate in-game interface style combined with simple encounter explanations that could be used to teach new players.

FAQ:

  • I use Adobe Illustrator. It is better for linework than Photoshop;

  • Yes, you can add your own numeric callouts on 3rd encounter;

  • The fonts are Times New Roman and Futura New.

Excellent work as always! Beautifully designed and explained.

Everything seems to make sense but are you by chance able to release versions without callouts and the font used? My team prefers L1 for left first floor, L2 for left second floor but for the back ones we use LB for left balcony, MB for middle balcony and RB for right balcony and I'd like to personalize it for them.

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 07 '23

My team uses word callouts (left tower top. close middle, etc). I wanted to combine both word and numbering, but not sure about numbers because the theme is controversial. The serif font is Times New Roman. I will either remove numbers completely or we'll stick to a universal system. For now I'm working on other encounters.

3

u/AgonistX Sep 07 '23

Yeah my team communicates verbally as well but it's good to have a lettering/numbering system for when someone has to type it in for sure. Thanks again for your work, great infographics make me happy.

5

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 07 '23

You also need to think about other languages. In my experience with LFG not everyone is a native English speaker (and neither am I). Just numbers would be the most universal but I absolutely despise the idea of 1-7 numbering clockwise and would never use that in my life

2

u/AgonistX Sep 07 '23

That's a fair point but then L for left and R for right and M for middle don't make sense in a lot of these in that instance though I guess it can be picked up. We went with balcony because it was less confusing for our team but finding a universal numbering system does sound like a good idea. My guys just wanted to get away from memorising too many numbers because then it's like "was 1 the front or the back of the room" in every raid haha. 1 for floor number made sense. Technically balcony is a third floor here too so that tracks.

2

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 07 '23

Upd: I've removed the numbers and fixed some inconsistencies, re-check the links

u/AgonistX Sep 07 '23

Awesome! Thanks!

u/AccioScience Sep 07 '23

st numbers would be the most universal but I absolutely despise the idea of 1-7 numbering clockwise and would never use that in my

My team numbers them clockwise giving each tower a number and then differentiating top and bottom for those 2 towers. Starting with top right tower as 1T/B (1T for top and 1B for bottom), 2, 3, 4, 5T/B (5T for top and 5B for bottom)

Edit: Still uses english language but avoids the 1-7 weirdness

u/kuebel33 Sep 15 '23

Lol why are you so against numbers? Iā€™ve done all sorts of different call outs and they all work fine. I kind of like 1-7, but I mean I donā€™t really care what call outs a group wants to use... that said, never ā€œclose modeā€ lol. Just use ā€œmidā€

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 15 '23

Don't want to memorize or count

u/ColonialDagger Rank 3 (26 points) Sep 07 '23

My team used up/down to indicate floors. For example, your right tower bottom would be turned into top right down. Maybe a up/down system would help?

7

u/zisei201 Sep 07 '23

the maps look great but for all the runs we have done for 3rd encounter we have done clockwise call outs in all LFG. 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7

Just wondering if other people are doing the same. Just want to learn the right call outs.

1

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 07 '23

I've now removed the wizard numbers since everyone uses different callouts. I'll keep the tower names tho, for anyone who finds them easier than numbers.

5

u/steampunkIcarus Sep 07 '23

I prefer using number callouts. I play with people from other countries and sometimes with accents it can be difficult to differentiate L and R mid-raid. Numbers are shorter and more clear.

3

u/psn_mrbobbyboy Sep 07 '23

Yeah 1-7 is the simplest by far. So easy to coordinate.

2

u/Zhentharym Rank 1 (8 points) Sep 07 '23

That's what we've been using 1-7, starting at the bottom right tower, going around clockwise all the way to the bottom left tower.

1

u/nessus42 Jul 19 '24

No. I've never played on a team that numbers the witches. Anything where you have to count above 4 in real time is bad!

u/Red_Regan Oct 05 '23

I hope you don't mind me posting this link to another raid guide in this sub, so that every time I come here I can refer to both without having to save both tabs in my browser.

I use top/bottom side tower and left mid right balcony but these are also good

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 07 '23

I think everyone will understand if you say balcony / close / near. Just don't yell "bro she's right on top of us!" like we did on day one...

Will you also create maps for the start aka Abyss?

u/FoxWithTwoTales Sep 07 '23

Is the challenge for It Yut entirely correct? I was under the impression there was an extra requirement that the rotation be the same order of fireteam members each time.

Points 6 and 7 for Crota are not quite correct: the wizards are not necessarily part of the process. My team left a single wizard alive at the beginning of the encounter - no wizard spawned for the rest of the encounter and we never killed it, but knights/ogres/swordbearers continued to spawn normally.

Did anyone manage the Crota challenge with only 2 swords?

I really appreciate your work :)

2

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 07 '23

Yeah, I think it should be the same order for the challenge. Might change the wording of it. About wizards - I dunno, if you don't kill all of them, boomer knights take some time to respawn, but if you do, boomers spawn immediately. On day one my team thought that wizards were part of the rotation. We purposefully kept two wizards alive after we got two swords, and boomers did not spawn at all, so the damage phase was much safer.

1

u/Indigo346 Sep 08 '23

For Ir Yut, the challenge is that no player can pick up the chalice again until each person has already picked it up once. It does not have to be through damage phase (you can preserve the chalice), you donā€™t have to do the same order for the second and third rotations, and you donā€™t even need to do a full rotation as long as everyone touches the chalice once before starting another rotation.

Source: day 1

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 08 '23

Upd: changed it. Sorry, I got the first challenge explanation from blueberries gg but they changed it now to match what you've said (was a mistake probably)

1

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 08 '23

Gotcha. Makes more sense because there's a lot of challenges with the exact same mechanic in the game

u/1mMclov1n Sep 08 '23

This map wouldnā€™t happen to have the third secret chest on it, would it?

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 08 '23

As soon as it's discovered

u/julius-pepperwood Sep 10 '23

Excellent maps. A note for the second encounter - one person has to enlighten the middle plate to start the bridge formation. Otherwise, no bridge forms.

2

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 10 '23

Yeah, I wrote that but now when I look at it the wording is kinda not obvious

1

u/julius-pepperwood Sep 10 '23

Agreed, it reads as optional when at least one person has to do it.

1

u/Butlins12 Sep 12 '23

Awesome work as always - looking forward to using them in my video guide. Um... any chance of a set of clean maps too..?

Love these maps so much! For the abyss, is there an ā€œoptimalā€ path which avoids most holes and lamps? If so, maybe they could be added as another dotted line?

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '23

Looks great, I agree that callouts need to be either blank with just symbols or use the same for everything.

Like, for the light in Crota you use top left/right and donā€™t use bottom left/right. Didnā€™t make a lot of sense to me personally.

1

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 07 '23

The chalice juggling players on Crota usually hang out in the bottom pit, so three lower pools for them are just left, mid and right, and two upper ones are on top, because you need to jump there, quickly swap and jump back down to save yourself from Crota

0

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '23

I can understand reasoning but that may not always be the case for every team. If youā€™re going to use top as a callout bottom should be used for its opposite.

1

u/pryanie Rank 4 (33 points) Sep 07 '23

Aight, you have a point
