Summoning Kraken, spoken myth by developer?

@alco-jack1631 said in Summoning Kraken, spoken myth by developer?:

I’m sure at some point all of us have heard the myth that “you can summon the kraken, just nobody knows how” and how “a developer said it.” Well I’ve been trying to clarify that.

Recently I’ve been looking for the possible ways to summon the kraken and came across a few ideas. But I’m starting to doubt that a developer even said it in the first place. Does anyone have any evidence that a dev said that it was possible, any interview clips or previous q/a with one that leads to that idea?

Very fitting however for a dev to create rumors and myths in ye old pirate game.

The Kraken appears when there is no other world event (except FotdD) going on. It can attack you when you're in open sea.

While you can't actually summon the Kraken (and AFAIK no dev has said something like that), you can increase your chances to encounter one to be on the open seas when a world event ends.

Well, every time my daughter and I have duo slooped a skelly galleon in the last 3 weeks, we get krakened. No joke. Every time.

There is one way that i have discovered to summon it, but its very hard to pull off! First you must set sail, then when traveling, you speak its name. After just moments you will encounter it! Results may vary!

Every kraken encounter I have ever done has been fairly random but I feel it is every time I have a TON of loot on board. I have sought out the kraken several times to finish up my sets and that booger even after world events is very hard to find. I am pretty sure every night I hear the kraken but it never shows. I also hear that it is more frequent than not to encounter a kraken immediately after a ghost fleet is defeated (World Event). I can confirm this as I too encountered the kraken immediately after sinking a fleet and my crewmate left as soon as the kraken showed up. He hopped out, grabbed a row boat and left me to my fate.. I did not enjoy it, but I did defeat it! This is my experience with the matter. hope it helps
