Dead Sails Kraken Boss Guide

Your journey begins in the heart of town, across from the Gun Store and Hospital and in front of the Trading Hut. Start by offloading any excess loot and gearing up. I recommend opting for a Rifle—it's a steal at $75 and packs enough punch to fend off most foes, at least temporarily. Don't forget to stock up on coal to keep your boat's old-school engine running smoothly.

The next town is a hefty 10,000m away. Simply fire up your boat and you're on your way. While you can stop to take down Zombies and Drowned for loot, it's not always worth it due to the sparse valuables in the surrounding houses. To restart your ship, just add more coal. Don't let the worm on the right side spook you. Wait until you reach the second safe zone to sell your loot, but stay vigilant for Big Foot and Zombie mobs along the riverbanks.

After the second safe zone, you'll encounter burning buildings teeming with mobs. If you're with friends, clear them out; otherwise, it's a time sink due to the scattered spawn points. At around 12,000m, you'll find a castle-like house filled with Drowned, but also stocked with Shotgun ammo and other valuable loot. Use these resources wisely.

Dead Sails Kraken Tips And Tricks

By now, you're familiar with the routine—kill, loot, repeat, and hope for enemy defeat. This is the essence of the gameplay loop. To excel, focus on efficiency by using your boat as your primary inventory. Clear out your bag when you return to the boat to save time and space.

A key strategy I found useful while crafting this Dead Sails Kraken guide is stacking Zombies near the incinerator. While it's tempting to rush out of those backwater towns, efficient loot stacking can make a significant difference. Running low on fuel? Just toss a few Zombies into the incinerator and you're set.

Another tip is to keep an eye on what's happening in Sheriff's offices. These areas often have a higher concentration of mobs, but they also offer substantial rewards in terms of weapons and ammo. I managed to keep my shotgun stocked for a long time by having a friend clear the ground floor while we explored each town.

Make sure to conserve your ammo, weapons, fuel, and medkits for the fortress at around 25,000m. It's still under construction, making it a prime spot for ambushes. I wouldn't recommend tackling this alone; a group of at least three, ideally five, is best. Be efficient when collecting loot.

Similarly, avoid engaging Big Feet after 30,000m. They're incredibly tough, require a lot of ammo to take down safely, and hit like a ton of bricks. Don't linger too long and plan your stops wisely. Remember, loot isn't everything.

The town after 50,000m is one of my favorite farming spots. With at least two dozen Drowned and Zombies, it's perfect if you have friends with Shotguns or a Sawnoff. It's also an efficient way to gather corpses for fuel, so coordinate with your team to prepare the bodies for loading quickly.

How to Defeat the Kraken Boss in Dead Sails Kraken

Before facing the Kraken, sell all your loot in the final safe zone and stock up on ammo, weapons, and medkits. Don't go easy on the Zombies and Drowned. Ensure you have a stash of at least 8-10 corpses for fuel during this final leg of the Dead Sails Kraken guide. You're almost there. At around 100,000m, you'll reach open waters and be ready to confront the beast. The sign of its approach is the skies darkening.

As the Kraken emerges from the water, EVERYONE MUST TARGET a tentacle. The boss has substantial health, and each tentacle can attack and cause damage if not properly repelled. If you have five people on board, form a pentagram-like shape and each person focuses on their own tentacle.

Be cautious of the water splash ability, which deals AoE damage to multiple players. It's telegraphed by the Kraken winding back and creating a water trail with the tentacle. Use medkits liberally, as some damage is unavoidable.

Lastly, watch out for the Roar AoE, which causes minor damage but is unblockable and seems to slightly buff the boss's damage. You'll recognize it by the white concentric circles emanating from the tentacle that used the ability.

As you can see, it's not as hard as it seems. That's the complete rundown of my Dead Sails Kraken Guide. To speed through the boss fight even faster, consider using one of our Dead Sails codes. Good luck and smooth sailing!
