Kraken
The AFK gp machine

Upgrade paths for this fight
Strategy
- 1
Disturb the whirlpools
Attack the four whirlpools to spawn the tentacles, then wake the Kraken itself to begin the fight.
- 2
Magic only
The Kraken attacks solely with magic for very low damage; wear magic defence and you'll rarely need to eat.
- 3
Stack kills
Because trips are so safe, bring extra runes/darts over food and grind long, high-count sessions.
