Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Yarr, mateys! Ye can tame this here Kraken of the sea, by allowing it to grab ye with its terrible tentacles, and feeding it jelly toxin when it shakes ye screen until it’s knocked out. Once it’s tamed ye can use it to climb up walls, create ink, and drag filthy bilge rats down to Davy Jones’s Locker!
You can breed them on land no harm done to egg
You can breed these octopuses the female has to be in water for egg to be safely born doesn’t work on land from my testing/theory.
Feed it when your screen shakes, not before 👍🫡
I try to feed it biotoxin But it did not want to eat it
Spawns in the water. Also you can find them around the lighthouse with all the boats. It’s one of missions.
To tame let it grab you and feed it narco’s at its beak, then it’ll pass out like the acro only don’t attack it, it attacks you! Being good gear and lots of narco’s.
I tried finding one of these, but it's not easy. Eventually I found one swimming aroud and I tried to chase it to shore (It's harder than it sounds). Eventually I got it to a rock underwater, and started feeding it bio toxin, but 3 bio toxin in I got eaten by a meglodon. I respawned at my bed and went to where i was taming it, and it was gone. 😭 😭 😭
