Upgrade paths for this fight
Strategy
- 1
Start the fight
Disturb the four whirlpools to spawn the tentacles, then attack the Kraken itself. It can't be reached with melee — bring magic (a trident is fastest) or ranged.
- 2
Stack kills
Trips are cheap and near-AFK, so bring extra runes/darts over food and grind long, high-count sessions.
Key mechanics
What can kill you at Kraken, and what to do about it. For the full breakdown, see the OSRS Wiki link below.
Typeless magic
Its attack is typeless — Protect from Magic and magic defence don't reduce it — but it's slow and inaccurate, so incoming damage over a trip stays low. Bring a little food for the odd max hit (~28).

These figures are an independent-roll estimate: they treat every kill as a separate roll at the listed rate ( 1 − (1 − p)KC). Real drops can involve guaranteed rolls, point/invocation scaling or completion rewards, so the true odds may differ. A probability is never a guarantee — even far above 90%, the drop is never owed to you. Drops without a fixed 1/Nrate show “—”.
