Kraken/Strategies

The Kraken is very weak to Magic, even though it uses Magic as its attack style. It is highly resistant to Range and immune to Melee, due to the fact that it cannot be reached by Melee attacks. Due to this reason it is highly recommended to use Magic while attacking this boss.


 *  WARNING:  Because this boss can be instanced, it is recommended to do so, but if you die, you will be unable to retrieve any items lost. So it might be useful to bring an emergency teleport, like an Ectophial or a Teleport to House tab, as it can be easy to take a lot of damage.

Tank = Since the Kraken attacks with Magic it is best to use gear that will maximize Magic defense as much as possible. The downside to this, is that the Magic attack will be lowered, but because the Kraken's magic defense is so low, (similar to Dagannoth rex) that as long as the Magic attack bonus is above 0, it will hit plenty often.

Due to the amount of food that Kraken drops, it’s quite easy to get trips lasting nearly an hour, and possible to get trips that last well over an hour. The Toxic blowpipe is used to attack the tentacles, if the special attack is used, it is possible to heal quite a few hitpoints.

Skills:
 * 75+
 * 87+
 * 75+
 * 80+
 * 45+ (Mystic Might)

Inventory:
 * Toxic blowpipe
 * 1 Magic potion
 * 3-4 Prayer potions
 * A house tab or Ectophial for escaping
 * High-healing food like pineapple pizzas or sharks to fill the remaining inventory spaces

DPS= Because the Kraken is very vulnerable to Magic, this method relies on trying to deal as much damage as possible, as quickly as possible. Because the less time that Kraken has to do damage, the longer the trips will last. This method is a very efficient way to kill this boss.
