With the Captain out of the picture, you now must deal with an enraged space Kraken that threatens to drag the whole ship down to the bottom of the Galactic Sea.

The first part of this battle is relatively simple. You need to hit every arm of the Kraken that is flailing around the whole ship until they retreat below the waters. They will try to smash you flat against the deck, and sometimes swipe across the whole platform to hit you. Be aggressive and chase down the arms, landing dash shots or even melee attacks if you get close enough.

Once the tentacles have been dealt with, the Kraken rears its ugly head up to face you directly. Watch out for the laser spread that it shoots from its eyes, as well as the much larger superlaser from its mouth that it sweeps the deck with. It is possible to dodge through these attacks with careful timing!

The Kraken also cuts loose with a barrage of fireballs from its mouth. You have to side dodge these, Trying to dodge through them head-on usually means you get hit by the follow-up fireball.

Occasionally, the Kraken tries to body slam the whole deck in the hopes of crushing you. It’s possible to evade this attack, which puts you in prime position for melee combat. Exploit the strengths of your weapon and stick to your most effective attacks to be safe, and you’ll eventually have way too much seafood to eat by yourself. With the Sacred Treasures recovered, the time to battle Medusa is finally at hand.
