The Kraken is a creature combat encounter in For The King.
Description[]
If you move around the ocean in a boat for a long enough time, you may be ambushed by the Mighty Kraken. An icon in the upper right status bar (near your lore count) will indicate if the Kraken has been sighted in your area.
Avoiding the Kraken[]
You can purchase Caustic Ink from ports to keep the Kraken at bay for 9 turns.
Once unlocked in The Lore Store, you may find Kraken Wards, which help ward away the Kraken.
You are safe while:
- In the radius of a Kraken Ward
- In The Rogue Isles (The Kraken only hunts in The Ocean.)
- Caustic Ink is active
- Adjacent to an ocean rock
- Adjacent to the shore of any area
Note: You are not safe while adjacent to the world borders (The rocks at the edge of Fahrul).
Fighting the Kraken[]
Defeating the main body or one of its tentacles will end the fight, however, merely defeating a tentacle will not kill the Kraken! If the Kraken destroys your boat, that will also end the fight. Once you kill the Kraken, it won't attack again. That being said, it is possible to re-engage the Kraken if you fail the Good Fishing Spot encounter.
Tentacles (x2): Level 9 (Apprentice): 209 HP, Immune to burn and stun.
The Mighty Kraken: Level 9 (Apprentice): 418 HP, Immune to burn.
