Simply impressive! A player known as Slayerage soloed the entire Crota's End raid using "Destiny's" worst known weapon in 16 minutes.

The Crota's End raid was without-a-doubt the most excruciating and challenging portion of "Destiny" when Bungie first launched it. For an easy victory, numerous players resorted to pulling their Ethernet cable from the wall to glitch the near-invulnerable god.

According to GameRant, today, top tiered guardians not only want to defeat Crota, but are also placing self-imposed restrictions to make sure that they completely humiliate the Son of Oryx.

Bungie's "Destiny" is infamous for its absurd player-driven challenges including soloing Raid and taking a Sparrow where no Sparrow should be allowed to go. Keeping this in mind, a player undertook Destiny's latest Raid, Crota's End, solo. Although this is nothing new, the player managed to do it an astounding 16 minutes and 7 seconds.

With any challenge comes a swarm of players, striving to be the best; not for any specific reward, but simply because they can. Many players opted to take on Destiny's Raid with more and more ridiculous requirements - completing it in 16 minutes, however, is equally insane and remarkable.

According to GamesPresso, Crota's End has five main sections:

The Abyss

The Bridge

The Hallway

The DeathSinger

Crota

Each section is capable of a solo run, nevertheless using multiple cheeses and shortcuts does not always make them any less difficult, particularly during the latter sections.

The player who soloed the entire raid while only using No Land Beyond, widely considered to be Destiny's worst weapon, is known on Reddit as Slayerage. GameRant noted it's time to add one more entry on to the list of players who became legend, just as Bungie promised.

According to GamesPresso, Slayerage used a Bladedancer Hunter to great effect, taking advantage of its Blink and Super abilities. Check out the video below by The Legend Himself.

Allegedly, Slayerage practised for a good 10 hours straigth prior to recording his fastest run. While on Normal, the run time is no doubt, impressive, particularly considering there are a number of occasions where Slayerage could have improved the time by a few seconds per encounter like Blinking off the rock in the opening section.

There are a few unseen techniques here such as using Blink while swinging the Sword to cross The Bridge without even activating it, or using the Blink to simply skip the whole section of The Abyss right at the start. Gamers can take advantage of both these tricks next time they take on Crota's End, not speed running, though.

Slayerage is behind some of the most ridiculous Destiny feats you see across the internet, such as soloing Crota's End on Hard Moder, or running Vault of Glass with two people.
