They need to update the kraken to where it drops the same amount of loot as a megladon, cause on a sloop, you get maybe a skull and a crate of rare tea.

“whenever it sounds like he’s eating ramen noodles”

one more useful tip if you play with someone , you can just harpoon your team mate if he gets sucked.

New player here that fought a kraken yesterday, I’ve noticed that using an object that gets you “stuck” like a cannon can also be used to prevent being eaten, either that or I didn’t hear enough ramen noodles when I fought it

Huh, didn't know that it was a waste of time to kill that wrapped tentacle. Good tip!

The kraken feels like it was so much stronger in the early days

And then you have me who never ever gets to fight a kraken

i killed it for my first time :D TY

Why is the sea black-famous last words

Which is more terrifying blood sea or ink

Kraken in Game: 😊😊😊😊😊 Kraken in real life: 💀💀💀

I've defeated the Kraken in under 30 seconds. Its more of a minor inconvinence than a real threat

Me and my friends were new the this game and we came across a kraken. When I got flung to an island. We weren't even close to the damn thing. Anyway I find a keg and I kind of do some weird movie shit, wait for the kraken to try and eat me and then when it does I go boom. It ended up killing it. Lol

First reaction to kraken: 🤨😳😱😱😱😱 Reaction after several encounters: 🙄

Kraken needs to be stronger

If it does grab you, chuck a fire bomb down at the tentacle holding you and it’ll drop you.

Useful tip: when you get sucked up in the mouth you can use your gun and shoot the roof of the mouth to get it to release you

The kraken: hard to beat the megladon: literally just runs away before you kill him

I just met a kraken earlier, certainly easier than soloing a Meg on a sloop

It's honestly kinda sad how pathetic the Kraken is now. First of all, for solos, it was "rebalanced", and now it's way too easy. And second of all, no one *wants* a Kraken to spawn. It hardly drops any loot, and even if you don't fight it and just get stuck in the black water, it's still a very time-consuming nuisance. I feel like they should make it a roaming threat, instead of one that only spawns when there's no world events active. Or maybe they could make it a boss that you have to summon yourself. Make a voyage out of it. They just need to do *something* with it, because it feels very out of place nowadays.

with the addition of throwing knives i highly recommend them for the kraken fight. it has the highest dps when you throw all five so it quickly gets rid of tentacles. useful when you DO want to take care of shipwrapping tentacles or currently have no angle on an arm

The most important tip: if it picks you up, shoot your guns or swing your sword and it will let you go

In addition to updating the loot the Kraken drops they need to make it so that it spawns closer to the boat. Most of the time I feel like I have to swim/sail a long way just to get it. I would also love if they added quests for the hunter's call to be able to spawn a megalodon or kraken at a certain location. Maybe add different tiers of kraken as well. Maybe in order to not abuse it they'd put a small cooldown on being able to do those quests.

I encountered a kraken on my first game

I Encountered The Kraken Before And It Scared The Frick Out Of Me

When i found a kraken i would usually hide below deck and shoot at it with my flintlock but then i actually faught it with canons and it was surprisingly really easy

I have been playing 5 years to complete the sea of thieves but this video this will help me :]

It's all fun and games until scp 3000 shows up...

for those who want to find it, just wait at the shores of gold for an hour (in game time) and that would force it to spawn an encounter, so it could be anything like theShrouded Ghost

i got kraken my first day ever playing, since i watched a few videos before playing i knew we were being attacked by a kraken because of the water turning pitch black, we ended up defeating it pretty easily

Or use the fishing pole to cancel the animation so you dont get pulled off the boat.

The kraken should have a feature where it grabs people and holds them until they are harpooned or the tentacle holding them is shot, then if it grabs everyone on the boat, the boat sinks and the krakens main mouth appears and it drops everyone inside

Yesterday I just wanted to do some solo action and instand got a Kranken, then he hit my ship once pulled me away from my ship literally for a whole minute and my ship sank nice

Within my first hour of playing (forever ago) legitimately i killed I think horatio and fought a meg. Shoutout to the random lady I encountered that helped me with both and showed me the ropes

This fight is legit the “jump over the earth quake” logic

me not knowing about sea of thieves: why is the water black? friend: oh sh-

aww look at that cute cudlefish- subnutica players

I killed the kraken quicker than it appeared... definitely wasn't as difficult as I was told

I started watching this and got krakened

Played with my boyfriend for the first time. I was somewhat experienced but it was his first ever voyage on the seas. Shortly after leaving port, we get krakened. I thought, easy enough, just shoot his tentacles. Well on my way to repair the ship and to hide from his ramen noodle slurpage, I get sucked up!! I tried my best to get released, but couldn't, all the while our ship was taking on water. My boyfriend had no idea what to do. He didn't even have wood in his inventory lol Suffice to say, we sunk pretty quick. Pretty awesome but sad first adventure with my babe, lol

Im just tired of the MEGLADON that comes in....3 minutes later.

Tip 4:if you see the sea getting black run

They need to do a summon the kraken like the Shanti summon the megalodon thats brings the megalodon to you and if there was summln the kraken then it spawns

I haven’t seen the kraken in so long

Wish I saw this yesterday. Kraken screwed me

I forgot how ramen noodles sound like😂

also prepare when the sea turns black

When the kraken slaps the ship jump and when the kraken wraps around the ship shoot the open mouth and when the kraken sounds like eating ramen noodles go to the bottom deck

The brigantine on my tail that swat sea of thieves into existence doesn't really care tho 🥲

I didnt even meet one in safer seas:(

I’ve played for 4 days and I ran in to the kraken once and beat it

If you throw a blunderbomb at it when it sucks you it will let go

Yknow when sea of theives started the kracken was the scary thing the draw that kept you on your feet and now it’s out matched and way to easy for a massive beast of ocean far and wide

you dont get pulled away from your ship too when you at your cannons

I used to be terrified of krakens but they’re not too bad anymore lol

It’s also easier to try and aim your sales in the way of the wind to get out of it although it is hard when it tries to suck you up and hits your boat

If the kraken begins the animation in which it pulls you, you should prioritize shooting its open mouth to get it to let you go. I advise using a double barrel pistol for this. If you fall into the water, aim up as far as possible. The inky black water is impossible to see through, but you are going up. Also, the kraken is frightening. Sea of Thieves is the best horror game I've ever played, because the ocean has many unknowns. It's frightening.

If you get grabbed if you look all the way down there’s opportunities to shoot part of the tentacle with your gun and it’ll drop you

Just immediately pull a U-turn as soon as it aggros, turn toward the nearest non -black water, keep helm straight, angle for wind, go below deck if he sucks and leave him behind. If he whacks your ship off coarse, readjust heading. Not even worth fighting

I am no joke eating ramen noodles and caught myself slurping…

when it's sucking up use your fishing rod in water it apparently stops the kraken from sucking you up for some reason

If you get sucked up in range of your harpoons, a friend can pull you out

I literally had like 30k worth of loot from a fortress and I’m so close to the island I’m selling to i can see it and a kraken appears out of nowhere and starts beating my ship up

I’ve yet to get krakened but i’ve been chased by the meg like 20 times or more

If you do get sucked up, make sure to have a blunderbuss, you can shoot the inside of its mouth, and itll drop you, letting you swim back. Its better than letting it kill you. Im pretty sure any gun will work, as long as you have an angle. I guess your friend could also save you.

Another great channel for sea of thieves content is "Jumbo G".

Bro I had a kraken and then a Meg at the same time come after me

Iv returned to SOT in the past 2 months after not playing since launch. Iv not had the Kraken spawn on me once. Only time iv seen it was a Brig was chasing me as a solo sloop and the Brig had it spawn on them. Iv had about 30 megs and 15 skelly crews spawn on me in that time tho.

"A problem for newer players". First time playing, finished the tutorial, starts to rain, kraken appears. I managed to kill it. Holy f*k.

worst thing about the kraken is that it barely drops any loot

The day I started playing sea of thieves i went afk and came back to my ship being attacked by a kraken and i was freaking out and I panicked and I shot all the tentacles and everything and I ended up winning I was scared shitless

If it wraps around near the cannons you can hit it with the cannon

Hitting the mouth of the tentacles at any point will one shot them

I was solo with a level 4 emissary and 20 plus chests and lost it all from the Kraken.

the open mouths look like the mouths on the spider monster from stranger things

Now that Disney are on board with SoT - could we get epic version Kraken from PotC movies @Rare. Our version barely tickles my keel

ksp players: its not that simple

Yes helpful if i do not miss canon

Just rapid fire into the nearest tentacle in reach of your cannon and it'll be done in no time

I somehow survived my first Kraken attack by myself. Apparently, it's difficulty is dependent on the amount of players in server, size of crew and ship, or both from what i was told. I dunno if its true.

Scary the first time, but now I WANT TO KILL THE DAMN THING, WHY DOES IT NEVER COME 😭

wow never occurred to me to jump

Took it in 2 mins as a solo 😂

Killed it first time coming across it. Thought it was going to be this huge battle but it was pretty underwhelming

Once when i was on the bottom deck it pulled me out of the ship

if you're about to be sucked, pull out your fishing rod to cancel it. I have no idea why this still hasn't been patched.

Tips about megalodon plz

NEEDED

Yea sloop krakens are a joke. So are megs, my brother killed the shrouded ghost a few days ago. I am VERY jealous that he got that lucky

Bro my first day on sot I got attacked by kraken and purple megaladon

Bruh I been playing for 2 days n already solo killed the kraken

Wait, dry ramen or cooked ramen???

I have a spree of killing krakens on my alt I believe my biggest spree was 43

I'm not sure if this still works but you can throw your fishing rod in water when its trying to suck you in

I got a kraken and a skeleton galileo

When it tries to suck u in, I just go on the cannons and it doesn't work

I was on a brig with to of my friends and one of the said I hope we get krakened me and my other friend immediately screamed NO because we weee trying fotd and we didn’t want to lose the ritual skull and the flames we had then not only a minute later a kraken spawned

I saw him two times and killed hime one time

Kraken 100 feet long (18 meters) Megalodon 60 feet long Ningen 65 to 100 feet Godzilla 984 feet tall

I thoguht it was called the cracken
