Visions of Mana players face a difficult challenge when encountering the Kraken boss. This guide provides essential strategies to overcome this aquatic menace and progress through the game’s captivating story.
The Kraken is a level 10 boss at the end of Chapter 1. You’ll face this giant sea creature after setting sail for Ledgas Bay. Make sure your party is around level 12 before taking on this battle.
Before confronting the Kraken in the game, it is very important to optimize your party setup first so that you can defeat the monster easily. Also, remember to equip necessary items and skills to the Ring menu as these will be your only options during the fight.
The Kraken is weak to fire element, making Flame Saber an invaluable skill in this battle. Keep it active on Val throughout the battle.
Unlike the previous boss, which is the Mantis Ant, the Kraken stays mostly still, positioned at the back of the boat. Its tentacles serve as weak points, so make sure you attack them for critical hits. Watch for these key attack patterns:
Moveset | How to Dodge |
Tentacle Slams | Dodge the red-marked areas on the ship’s deck. |
Ship Tilting | Adjust positioning to avoid being pushed away. |
Ink Spewing | Reduces visibility but deals minimal damage. |
Water Torrent and Bubble Stream | Avoid by staying near the tentacles. |
Tezla Summons | Defeat these smaller enemies to prevent overwhelming situations. |
