Pro Tips

Attack Patterns

Tentacle Slam

Tentacles rise from water and slam boat. Deals 50 damage + knockback.

Tell: Water ripples where tentacle will emerge Dodge: Move boat away from ripples. Use WASD to steer.

Ink Cloud

Shoots black ink that obscures vision and deals 15 damage/second.

Whirlpool

Creates spinning vortex that pulls boat toward center. Deals 80 damage if you reach center.

Tell: Water swirls, Kraken roars Dodge: Sail perpendicular to whirlpool rotation. Don't fight it head-on.

Phase Strategies

Phase 1 100%-75%

Destroy 4 tentacles first (1000 HP each). Tentacles regenerate if you attack Kraken's head too early. Focus one tentacle at a time. Use arrows from boat.

Phase 2 75%-25%

After all tentacles destroyed, head emerges. Attack head with trident (melee) or arrows (ranged). Dodge Ink Clouds and Whirlpools. Stay moving!

Phase 3 25%-0%

Enrage mode: Kraken attacks faster. Whirlpools spawn twice as often. Use all healing potions. Don't get greedy—survive first, damage second.

Pro Tips

  • Bring 2-3 boats (Kraken can destroy them)
  • Water Breathing potions are ESSENTIAL—you'll fall in water often

General Boss Tips

Learn attack patterns - Every boss telegraphs attacks. Watch for tells!

Don't button mash - Wait for openings. Patient players win.

Potions are not optional - Bring recommended potions or you'll struggle.

Co-op scaling - Bosses gain 50% health per extra player but are WAY easier with friends (revives).

Save before fights - Manual save (F5) before entering boss arena. If you die, you can retry without losing gear.
