Players with low Magic and/or Defence may consider praying Augury or Mystic Might to increase their magical defence. Players that bring an imbued heart should pray Preserve. If a player dies, all items carried will be moved to a gravestone outside the instance.Īs the Kraken and its tentacles use typeless attacks, the protection prayers have no effect. When exiting the instance, either by leaving, dying, or logging out, all items on the ground will be permanently lost. With Auto Retaliate off, after a fishing explosive is used, the player will automatically attack the Kraken when vulnerable.

It is highly recommended to turn Auto Retaliate off when fighting the Kraken, as the tentacles continue to attack the player after it has been killed, resulting in wasted runes or weapon charges should your character attack them in return. As the Kraken regularly drops a generous amount of food in the form of 5 edible seaweed or 5 sharks, the instance makes it a lot easier on the player to juggle these food sources before they disappear. However, this is not an issue if instancing, as dropped items disappear in 30 minutes within the Kraken Cove instance. Normally, items disappear after two minutes upon being dropped and other players can see it after one minute. To combat this, players can create a private instance for 25,000 coins.Īn advantage of a private instance is that dropped items stay on the ground for a longer period of time.

The smaller whirlpools will change into four Enormous Tentacles, while the central whirlpool will change into the Kraken itself. When using explosives, the impact audio cue indicates the Kraken is active, and attacks will register even if it has not emerged visually any attacks made before the cue will produce no response. To disturb the Kraken and start the fight, the player must use a fishing explosive on the large whirlpool, or attack the four small whirlpools and then attack the large whirlpool. Without a fishing explosive, players must disturb the four smaller whirlpools before they can successfully release the Kraken.
