Slaying the Kraken Pro Video and Text Guide

You don’t teally slay it, just survive it and it lets you go. It is an intense experience though. Especially since it’s a random event.

Here's the tutorial.

1 : Shoot the Kraken
2 : Leave

Done.

It was a rather disappointing fight. Cannon's aren't even necessary, the tentacles were running away after 5-6 shots no matter if I was using the pistol or the cannon. The only tentacle that seemed like it had a lot of health is the one that grabs your ship. It was just me and another guy fighting it on a sloop and, as he was grabbed, I was nearly unable to get it off the ship and repair in time. It was inconveniently holding the ammo/weapon box, too. The next grabber took hold at the front and was made short work of with the blunderbuss.

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on something for me. Is there any sort of reward for defeating the kraken? My crew and I fought the kraken and sent the beast into retreat (we won) and on completion nothing happened. It just went away, we never even got an achievement. If it was to be the case that there were no rewards or achievements that would be quite underwhelming.

+1 for taking your time to make the video and -1 to tell the community it's a "pro guide" when it lacks some rather important things. Please allow me to explain as I'm not here to rant. You do make good points like take it calm. I see many freak out running around and screaming in each others mouths. Having 1-2 running to repair if you get a tentacle around your ship etc but let's get to the points you missed.

What you first do when you know he appears (not necessarily in this order I provide):

Raise ALL sails. (Don't drop the anchor) Why? So you can turn the ship. Making it easier to kill the tentacles faster.

As for loading the cannons, better go grab a stack of 10 insted of relying on 4 single shots on each cannon.

When he grabs you, use your sword. Better then the 1 gunshot and wait for the reload and no need to run down to resupply em. The 4 man using blunderbuss is a sound idea but usually you don't have your entire crew shoting it. One is driving/turning the ship for reason I said. 1-2 are repairing/throwing out water.

Only shoot the tentacles that's closest to your ship. Not all having 300 cannonballs when this happens and it's only those who are close that pose the real threat.

You're spot on on 5 cannonballs/tentacle but you only need ONE shot if you shoot one who is close to the ship with the mouth open. Which leaves me to the next thing.

If you get sucked in, you can help your budy if shooting cannons on it, and when the mouth closes, you can use your own sword to make him release you. If not, your crew can obviously shoot him with your regular weapons.

I know this looks like overkill on my part and I do agree with "Sir Kush Walker" when he says: Shoot it, leave, done. It's that simple and you don't get anything. Other then the achievement once for scaring him off as you don't kill him.

Just wanted to speak my mind in a friendly and constructive critisism manner. Still didn't make the first downvote on your video =)
