If you were a fan of Dead Rails on sails, you're in for a treat with the latest update to Dead Sails, despite its challenges. Mastering the Seven Seas and taking down the tentacled beast might sound daunting, but fear not. This comprehensive **Dead Sails Kraken guide** will navigate you through the new content, accelerate your progress, and ramp up the fun factor to the max.

Dead Sails Kraken Boss Guide

Your journey begins right in the heart of town, conveniently located across from the Gun Store and Hospital and in front of the Trading Hut. Before setting sail, lighten your load by selling off any excess loot and gear up. A **Rifle** is a smart choice here, priced at just $75, offering enough firepower to keep most threats at bay, at least temporarily. Don't forget to stock up on coal to fuel your ship's old-school engine.

Your next destination lies 10,000 meters away. Simply ignite your ship and embark on your adventure. While you might encounter Zombies and Drowned along the way, it's often not worth stopping for the minimal loot in the side houses. To restart your ship, just add more coal. Ignore the worm on the right side; it's not a threat. Hold onto your loot until you reach the second safe zone, where you can safely sell it off, but be mindful of Big Foot and Zombie mobs flanking the river.

After the second safe zone, you'll encounter numerous burning buildings teeming with enemies. It's best to clear them out if you're with a team, but solo players might find it less rewarding due to the scattered spawn points. Around the 12,000-meter mark, you'll discover a castle-like structure filled with Drowned and valuable loot, including Shotgun ammo. Use these resources wisely.

Dead Sails Kraken Tips And Tricks

The gameplay loop of Dead Sails revolves around a simple yet effective strategy: kill, loot, repeat, and hope for enemy defeat. To elevate your gameplay, utilize your boat as a mobile inventory, emptying your bag upon return to save time and space.

A key tip from this guide is to stack Zombies near the incinerator. While it's tempting to flee from these backwater towns, efficient loot stacking will significantly enhance your progress. Running low on fuel? Toss a few Zombies into the incinerator, and you're set to go.

Keep an eye on Sheriff's offices, as they often harbor a higher concentration of mobs but also offer substantial rewards in terms of weapons and ammo. With a friend to sweep the ground floor, you can keep your shotgun loaded for extended periods.

Conserve your ammo, weapons, fuel, and medkits for the fortress at around 25,000 meters. This area is still under construction, making it a hotspot for ambushes. It's advisable to tackle this with at least three teammates, ideally five. Be strategic about collecting loot.

Avoid engaging Big Feet after the 30,000-meter mark. They're not only powerful but also consume a lot of ammo to defeat safely. Prioritize efficiency and strategic stops over excessive looting.

The town beyond 50,000 meters is a prime farming location, boasting at least two dozen Drowned and Zombies. With a couple of friends armed with Shotguns or Sawn-offs, it's an efficient way to gather corpses for fuel. Coordinate with your team to prepare bodies for quick loading.

How to Defeat the Kraken Boss in Dead Sails Kraken

As you approach the final safe zone, sell all your current loot and stock up on ammo, weapons, and medkits. Don't underestimate the Zombies and Drowned here; aim to have a stash of at least 8-10 corpses for fuel during this crucial phase. At around 100,000 meters, you'll reach open waters and be ready to confront the Kraken. The sign of its approach is the darkening skies.

When the Kraken emerges, every player must immediately choose a tentacle to attack. With its high health and damaging tentacle attacks, coordinated efforts are essential. If you have five players, form a pentagram-like formation and tackle your assigned tentacle.

Be cautious of the Kraken's water splash attack, an AoE move telegraphed by the tentacle winding back and creating a water trail. Use medkits liberally, as some damage is unavoidable.

Lastly, watch out for the Kraken's Roar AoE, which inflicts minor but unblockable damage and seems to slightly boost the boss's damage output. You'll recognize it by the white concentric circles emanating from the tentacle.
