Destiny - Totems & Bridge Encounter Crota's End (Raw Raid Guide)
Strategy courtesy of /u/Superbish on reddit:
Part 2 of the raid involves getting the team across a bridge. there will be three platforms (annihilation totems) on each side of the bridge which, when three are active, will form the bridge. Which ever side is activated in correspondence to the bridge, that is the side to have people stand on the annihilation totems to keep from wiping. If you see a Totem glowing red then you need to jump on the platform to stop it from combusting. you do not need to stand on the platforms for a long time like the portals, it should be almost instantaneous.
you and your team will need to get the bridge formed as fast as possible while keeping an eye out for a sword bearer. when this mob spawns you need to kill him and he will drop a sword. someone will need to pick up the sword and cross the bridge. you can ONLY cross the bridge with a sword in hard else you will die. the sword is also on a timer and will vanish after a specific time (time) so the crossing needs to be swift. On the other side of the bridge there will be a gatekeeper which can only be damaged by the guardian with the sword. kill the gatekeeper and then hold off adds and keep the bridge open. this is then rinsed and repeated until all members are across. Titans with Saint of the 14 helms have a huge advantage and should go first as they can then place a bubble in the middle platform which will stun the gatekeeper long enough for the sword bearer crossing to kill the S.O.B
