My crew and I were casually sailing around last night, managed to find a few skulls and chests, nothing major. The weirdest thing that happened though, occurred after we dropped off our loot.
We did a drive by (where we sail near an outpost, my crew jumps off with the treasure and I keep sailing), and as they were selling the treasure I was attacked by the kraken. I managed to turn the ship to keep the wind at our backs but the kraken managed to wrap a tentacle around us. We managed to get loose and sailed out of the kraken's reach.
We noticed a skeleton ship at an island behind where the kraken was. Then I noticed something, Kraken tentacles attacking the skeleton, even though there were still tentacles at the spot where our ship was attacked. It really looked like there were two Krakens in the same vicinity. Well, my crew had the idea of turning around and attacking the skeleton ship and the kraken from outside the kraken's reach.
Well, that didn't work. As we got closer, the kraken attacked us along with attacking the skeleton ship. Then the skeleton ship fired on us. As we were fighting these two entities, a third popped up, a Megalodon. So now we have 3 types of AI enemies in the same spot. The kraken attacking both my ship and the skeleton ship. The skeleton ship attacking us and now the Meg, that also attacked the skeleton ship. And to top it all off, a thunderstorm rolled right over top of us. Needless to say, we did not survive that encounter.
In hindsight, it was a bad decision to turn back but our curiosity at seeing the kraken go after a skeleton ship had gotten the better of us. But it was an interesting encounter as I had never seen those 4 elements (Kraken, Meg, Skeleton ship, thunderstorm) together at one spot at the same time.
