Favorite Raid Encounters... (Destiny)

After reading that Game Informer article about Bungie's raid design process I started to think about my favorite and least favorite portions of the various raids are.

I'd like to hear about your favorite encounters in the raids. This can be as simple as "I love the legions," or as specific as "I love that one time XYZ..."

Because I suck at narrowing things down to my favorite I'm going to list a couple for each...

Vault of Glass:
1- Running back and forth, up top, killing minotaurs while opening the vault. That was a lot of fun, especially after the shotgun buff.
2- The Gatekeeper & Oracles phase. (I also loved the fact that, after running the vault maybe 8+ times, I learned about the legions spawning in the middle, I'd always just stayed on the right side & killed the harpies that showed up and the guys who slipped through the front-center team's defenses).

Crota:
1- The Bridge Encounter. Best part.
2- Running through the abyss, as a group, with the ps4 flawless crew on our many flawless attempts. (least favorite, dying on the plate when dropping in).

Kings Fall:
1- Opening up the Warpriest's door. That's an incredibly well done bit of mayhem. Lots of fun. I still enjoy trying to snipe the knights up top before my teammate can.
2- You know, the opening sequence where you open up the portal is a lot of fun too.
3- The Tombship jumping puzzle, all except for that one really hard jump.
4- I guess I should put a boss in this list. Out of all the bosses I think I like the Warpriest the best.

I think it's surprising I don't really love any of the boss encounters from Kings fall.
