How to Beat Kraken

Tips and Strategies

Equip Lightning

Equip Lightning
It is recommended to equip weapons and jobs that make imbue Lightning as Kraken is very weak against this. Thundaga is an excellent ability to have during this fight as you can direct good damage to Kraken while maintaining a safe distance.

Be Careful When It Goes Near Water

Be Careful When It Goes Near Water
Kraken has a few attacks that require it to go either near or under the water. Keep an eye out for when it approaches the water and be prepared to evade from its Water Laser. In Phase 2 of its attack patterns, you will see Kraken will dive underwater. Keep your guard up when it resurfaces as it will release an unblockable attack: Tsunami.

Go for the Face Tentacles

Go for the Face Tentacles
Resentful Embrace is an ability that can steal your buffs. To prevent this, deal enough damage to the tentacles on its head to detach them. When Kraken's tentacles get removed, it will have a shorter reach but don't think this limits its attacks. Nova Splash and Inky Envy will still be available to it but these can easily be negated with a well-timed soul shield.
