  • @finanzminister what????

  • It doesn't have a body. I was in the water diving and surfacing and the game lagged or glitched and the water turned invisible and I could see where the tentacles end just below the waters surface. No body down there.

  • @blackenedred-sg That's not entirely what he is asking. Everyone knows during the encounters so far that it is only tentacles, but there's been a rumor going around since release that when you fight the kraken enough the body will appear.

    I don't entirely believe that rumor though to answer the initial question. I've fought the kraken like six or seven times and while the fights have seemingly gotten a little bit harder (maybe?) I have yet to see any face or body.

  • In that case I'd still have to say no body. My friends and I did nothing but repair and bail in one fight and after what seamed for forever our boat ended up drifting out of the black water and we sailed away. All we saw during the fight was tentacles and 1 wrapped the ship a few times.

  • @roughleech03117 its all smoke and mirrors. every game does it. sure a body would be cooler no doubt but they made the water black for a reason. Look at the video and see how they trick you in other games.

  • @finanzminister yea I know i think it does have a body here's what they said in the AMA answers "Joe: We want to leave some mystery to the kraken so people get that spoiler free experience at launch! * Shelley: All we can say is that it's a monstrous experience..."

  • @finanzminister and they said they said it will evolve over time

  • Like Bigfoot, I won't believe it until I see it. It would be cool if krakens were actual npcs in the game that freely roam the ocean. I know in one other game, there was a leviathan that was an npc free roaming the waters. You could dive under and actually find it and follow it. It lived in the ocean and attacked ships that came too close. That would be cool.

  • As for now there is for sure no Body
    Maybe the will add it when they add the harpunes? Because then it should be do defeat the kraken fully

  • @noisa1992 yea but was there any conformation that it has no body?

  • @noisa1992 or like it would be that final showdown like you said and it actually shows it's face that it had

  • @roughleech03117 said in kraken body?:

    well thats too bad

    Kraken Body Doesn't Exist

  • @roughleech03117 So nobody has seen the body so it's unsure if there is no body or just that nobody has seen the body. Would everybody say that's a fair assessment of the no body debate this body of players is discussing?

  • @finanzminister its black water because its the ink from the Kraken, it slows ship and causes damage to players. no need for the body of the kraken. Be cool though.

  • The Krakens body does not appear when fighting it for long enough used over 100 cannonballs and stayed within the water location to fight it and defeated it merely vanishes and the black water vanishes with it, at this moment in time the Kraken has no body.

  • now you know exactly why they didn't show it until launch ;)
    it's why I don't trust these type of games anymore when you don't show important stuff through alpha/beta you kind of get suspicious.

  • @roughleech03117 yes :) for now its not really a defeat only pushing it back to the Ocean.
    Even when the Archivment says otherwise

  • @s-v-e-j-e-d-a-n its a glitched picture its all ink in the water

  • While looking for treasure on an island with a friend, there was a Galleon and a small ship fighting a kraken far away from us.

    At some point, we both saw a big round thing coming out of the water at the side of the Galleon. It was a real big weird looking thing.
    We thought that maybe it was a part of the Galleon breaking off but it also happend after it sank and disappeared. It attacked the small ship the same way.

    Might have been a visual bug or a bunch of tentacles grouped together that looked like a head from afar, not sure. It came from the side of the ship, like it was eating it.

  • I can agree with other concerns but this polemic about the missing kraken's body is stupid.

    Yes, it's smoke and mirrors, like thousand examples in videogames, movies, photography and theater. They don't need to model a perfectly detailed transport ship 2 Km away in your Omaha Beach game, they will model a basic model with some hundreds polygons and attach a believable picture over and they will call it a day..."but, but, but I am looking at the ship with my sniper zoom and looks like garbage!"...dude, don't look stupid things with your sniper, play the game as it's intended and the effect will be good, it will add atmosphere to your experience if you don't try to break the magic show and expose its tricks.

    The kraken spawns tentacles all over the place in a very wide surface, if it had a body the complexity of animations, the strain for hardware would be higher, and perhaps it didn't work, remember that it needs to work in a five years old console that struggles to get 30 fps and 1080p in most games.

    So they hide the magic trick with black water, stop whining, this is a perfect example of the boy who cried wolf, if we are unreasonable with stupid things they won't listen to us with the reasonable ones.
