" Wrapping" arms wrap around the body of the ship, immobilising it and causing damage as it lays onto the deck of the ship.A trapped player can be freed early by damaging the arm, by cannon or by the trapped player's cutlass, or by being harpooned out of its mouth by another player. Eventually, the arm will throw the player into the water a slight distance from the ship. If sucked, the player is rooted in the arm, which will occasionally slap them on the water's surface, dealing a large amount of damage.


To avoid being sucked up, go below deck or deal damage to the open, inhaling "mouth" of the nearby tentacle.

Its spawning is indicated by a musical cue and the water around the ship turning black. The Kraken has a chance to spawn on a ship so long as it is in open water away from islands and there is no other active Kraken or World Event on the server, not including Fort of the Damned. A Kraken will despawn when enough arms have been disabled or shortly after all ships in the ink are sunk. The Kraken is a timed encounter where treasure and meat is dropped when each tentacle is defeated. The tentacles may attack by sucking players up into their mouths, wrapping around the hull, or slapping the ship.

The Kraken spawns under a ship, darkening the water into an inky-black pool and slowing the ship to a crawl as up to eight tentacles rise from the waves.
