The Kraken is a rare and powerful creature that can only be found in one specific place within the Atlantis region of Fischl: the Kraken Pool. Once you arrive at the Kraken Pool, equip your strongest fishing rod. (If you’re unsure which rod is best, check out our Fischl rods tier list for guidance.) Now, it’s time to start fishing!
However, there are a few key things to keep in mind to significantly increase your chances of catching this mighty creature:
- The Kraken’s Favorite Bait: Use “Truffle Worms” as bait – they’re the Kraken’s preferred snack.
- Time of Day: Fish during the “Night” hours for the best results.
- Weather and Season: Surprisingly, the Kraken doesn’t seem to have any specific weather or seasonal preferences.
You can easily find Truffle Worms by opening Coral and Volcanic Geodes. To fish at night, use Sundial Totems, which you can buy on Sunstone Island. Catching a Kraken is a big deal! You’ll earn a hefty reward: around 10,000 XP and 15,000 cash. However, be warned: the Kraken has a powerful effect that slows down your fishing progress by a whopping 85%.
Overcoming all this would, however, require some really good and strong fishing rods with good luck and strength as well. Here are the top picks:
- Heaven’s Rod: A legendary rod known for its incredible stats.
- Rod of the Eternal King (with Hasty mutation): This rod is very fast, thus counteracting Kraken slowing.
- Rod of the Depths: Pretty powerful and quite good for every stat.
- Rod of the Forgotten Fang (with Abyssal or Subspace mutation): These mutations are quite powerful when it comes to boosting fishing.
Just by using these rods and tips, you’ll shoot up your chances of catching this giant creature called the Kraken!
