Pro Catching Strategy
The Kraken spawns in the Kraken Pool (Atlantis) during Kraken Hunt events at Night only. Trigger hunts using Sundial Totems (2,000 C$ each from Sunstone Island cave). Base catch rate is 5.2%, improving to 9.3% during Aurora Borealis. Use Truffle Worm (preferred) or Deep Coral bait.
The Kraken has an 11% fling chance per frame that locks your input to one side for 1 second and drains 8% progress. This decreases by 1.1% per attack down to 5.5% minimum. High resilience rods are essential.
When The Kraken spawns, its tentacles are visible above the water and the pool turns tar-black with smoke plumes. There's a 5% chance to receive a Kraken Egg upon catching it. Catching it grants the "MASTER OF THE DEPTHS!" exclamation.
Hunting Strategy
Phase 1 - Unlock Atlantis: Pay 10,000 C$ to Mysterious Pirates at Grand Reef, pull 5 levers at Forsaken Shores, get TNT from skull structure, blow up temple entrance, collect Heart of Zeus, use it at lightning crack to teleport. Phase 2 - Complete Four Trials: Solve the Clock Wheel puzzles in Sunken Depths, Ethereal Abyss, Poseidon Temple, and Zeus Trial rooms. Each wheel has a mythological symbol (Lyre, Helmet, Sickle, Moon). Phase 3 - Open Kraken Door: Go underwater in Plaza of Atlantis, complete the final wheel (Horned Arrow symbol), door opens. Phase 4 - Trigger Kraken Hunt: Use Sundial Totems at night to cycle time rapidly until Kraken Hunt announces server-wide. Average cost is 100,000+ C$ in totems per hunt.
Spawn Mechanics
The Kraken has a base catch rate of 5.2% (approximately 1 in 19 attempts). During Aurora Borealis, this improves to 9.3% (about 1 in 11). The Kraken Hunt event is triggered by rapid day/night cycling using Sundial Totems. When spawned, the water turns black and tentacles become visible. Cannot be caught by Rod of the Depths or Rod of the Forgotten Fang passive abilities, but CAN be caught by Kraken Rod's third passive.
Recommended Setup
High resilience rods recommended: King's Rod, Brick Rod, Heaven's Rod, Abyssal Specter Rod, or Poseidon Rod. The Kraken Rod's third passive can auto-catch The Kraken.
Mystical (+45% resilience) is ideal for surviving the fling attacks. Resilient (+35%) is a good budget alternative.
Truffle Worm is the preferred bait. Deep Coral, Coral, and Seaweed are good alternatives.
Sundial Totem (2,000 C$ from Sunstone Island cave) to trigger hunts. Stack many - expect to spend 100,000+ C$ per successful Kraken Hunt trigger.
Value Analysis
At 0.208 C$/kg with a weight range of 50,000-378,000 kg, The Kraken yields roughly 10,400-78,600 C$ per catch (average ~24,000 C$). The 20,000 XP reward is significant. While the per-catch value seems low compared to costs, the 5% chance for a Kraken Egg (valuable crafting material) adds hidden value. The real reward is progression toward Ancient Kraken access.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✗Not completing all four Clock Wheel puzzles - you cannot access the Kraken Pool without solving them all
- ✗Trying to fish during the day - The Kraken only spawns at Night
- ✗Using low-resilience rods - the -85% progress penalty combined with fling attacks makes this nearly impossible
- ✗Expecting to trigger a hunt quickly - budget 100,000+ C$ worth of Sundial Totems
- ✗Using Rod of the Depths or Rod of the Forgotten Fang - their passives cannot catch The Kraken

- →Watch for black water and visible tentacles - these indicate The Kraken is present and catchable
- →Kraken Rod's third passive can auto-catch The Kraken - consider investing if you plan to farm
