This is the best in slot available equipment that can be used to mage the Kraken in OSRS. The following set has a price of 1,256,845,639 coins.
-
- Cast the fire spells with a charged tome of fire equipped, it can boost the spell’s damage by 50 percent.
- The occult necklace, tormented bracelet, imbued god capes and ancestral robes can boost the maximum hit of the player’s Magic spells.
- Use the device of Ava if using the hunters’ crossbow with kebbit bolts.
- A magic short bow with iron arrows will save one inventory space because you do not need Ava’s device.
- Rune pouch can be used to hold rune drops.
- The Imbued heart is going to improve your damage and reduce the damage you take considerably.
- 1 or 2 Prayer potions/Super restores for using the Preserve prayer to keep imbued heart stats up.
- Use Dramen staff for fairy ring akq, if the elite Lumbridge diary is not completed.
- Use the four of explorer rings for high alchemy if not bringing runes.
- The Eldritch nightmare staff’s special attack is going to restore your prayer, offering you to keep Augury and Preserve on for the imbued heart boost to maintain high magic defence.
- The Volatile nightmare staff is a best special attack choice if you are looking to farm Kraken as quickly as possible.
- The Toxic blowpipe offers a cheaper choice for those who do not want to spend money on the Eldritch/Volatile nightmare staff. One only can use its special attack on the Enormous Tentacles, because Kraken is highly resistant to ranged damage. Although having a +270 ranged defence bonus, you are going to hit often because of their level one base defence level. This is really useful when wearing Karils or Armadyl armour.
Inventory
-
- The toxic blowpipe or magic shortbow with arrows.
- 1 Magic potion or Imbued heart.
- 3 – 4 Prayer potions.
- Empty Rune pouch that will be used to pick up runes which are dropped by Kraken or runes for blood spells to extend trips or high Level Alchemy.
- A house tab or Ectophial for escaping.
- High dealing food like pineapple pizzas or sharks to full the remaining inventory spaces.
Tips
-
- The amount of food which is dropped by Kraken is a lot. It can be 5 edible seaweed. Also, it is possible for it to drop 5 sharks. As a player, you have to practice juggling or dropping them, picking them before they disappear. It is required to extend a trip because it will be a shame to leave all the free health to disappear.
- Keep in mind that the items disappear two minutes after being dropped. The dropped items can be seen by the players after one minute. But, it is fine if instancing, as they disappear in a half hour within the Kraken Cove instance.
- If you want to prevent getting comboed out, you are able to try to keep the health at 35.
- In most cases, the main damage will come from Enormous Tentacles. The reason is because they have a max hit of 2, they have accurate attack, even with high magic defense. On the other side, there is a higher max hit of 28 of Kraken. But, this one is not accurate.
- Remember that Protect from Magic has no effect on the OSRS Kraken and its tentacles attacks. Thus, it is better for you to hope for the Augury or Mystic Might instead in order to rise up the accuracy and magical defense.
