Location: Pirate's Cove
Levels: a well equipped
Hero or
Archon
Boss Kill: counts as a boss kill for level 241 and under.
Availability: standard repop for the area
Marks: none
Preparation
Standard reagent and mem check. A couple of snares if you’re a rogue. Room shield is a
great addition as this is NPK with the Kraken being in CPK. It’s a high traffic area so it’s
easy to get caught off guard. CPK gear is a must.
Spell up as normal.
Need a pickaxe and spade to get to him.
Introduction
The Kraken is located at the bottom of the cove in Pirate’s Cove. To get to him go to the southwest corner of the cove. Go all down and dig in the corner. You’ll find a Southwest. Follow this to the east, take your first south and follow it until your next south. Take that south and follow it to the east until you come to a room marking the entrance to the Kraken’s Lair.
This is your last NPK room. The kraken is located in CPK. Because this is a high traffic area, it’s recommended to setup precautions. I like to snare every few rooms leading up and then recall out afterwards. If you have roomshield it would be good to do a few rooms to slow pursuers down. Check where often, monitor who towne archon closely, attempt to track any suspicious persons, and watch for shift times.
Encounter
The Kraken has a few guards in his room which luckily don’t form with him if you’re invisible. The Kraken encounter is pretty simple. He doesn’t web or silence. He mainly just hits fairly hard (even with 100 armor) and breaths poison a lot. When you’re getting low just flee east to the NPK room, cure poison, rinse and repeat. He goes down pretty quickly.
