Follow this Destiny guide to defeat Sardon, the Fist of Crota, and clear out the Spawn in the Cosmodrome. Learn boss strategies and mission steps.
Alright, let's get this done. You'll start this mission by heading to Eris in the Tower to pick up the quest. Once you've got it, select the mission on Earth and you'll land in an area called The Blast. It's crawling with Fallen, and Omnigul, the Will of Crota, is hanging around too. Your best bet here is to take out the enemies that have their backs to you first – it really helps thin the herd. Watch out, though, because the Thrall are going to charge you head-on. Omnigul will also summon Cursed Thrall, so deal with those quickly. Once that's clear, Omnigul will bail, and you can head into the tunnels.
As you push into the Refinery, you're going to run into a Blade of Crota. This guy's a tough Knight, but when you take him down, he drops his blade. Grab it! You'll need it to clear out the Thrall and Acolytes waiting for you. After that, just keep moving into the tunnel that leads to The Grottos. Be aware, this area is marked as a restricted zone.
Boss Fight: Sardon, Fist of Crota
Once you're in The Grottos, look for a floating light in the middle of the area. Get close to it, and Sardon will spawn. This guy is quick and hits hard with his blade. To make things even trickier, you'll be under the effect of “A Dark Burden,” which slows you down and messes with your jump. This makes it tough to keep your distance. Your best bet is to use a Fusion Rifle or Shotgun for close-range damage, backed up by a Hand Cannon for quick bursts. Don't forget your Grenades – toss one when you have a clear shot. It should stagger Sardon, giving you a perfect opening for some Rocket Launcher shots. This combo will burn through his health pretty fast. Once you defeat him, you'll get your rewards, including a Shard of the Fist’s Blade.
