Well, damn, this guy will probably give you a hard time if you're not ready. He's easily the toughest boss so far in the HP, defense, and offense departments, but he lacks something vital that most of the other bosses had, a pile of magic spells. He actually only has two spells, and both of them suck. Kraken does have his phenomenal strength of his physical attacks, which can easily knock out White and Black Wizards if you're not careful, as well as drop a large amount of HP from Knights, Masters, and Red Wizards. How do you fix this? Easy, there are actually two ways. The first method is rather cheap, but will end this battle quickly.

Beating him involves casting the usual group of spells: [[Final Fantasy/Magic/White#Blink|Blink]], [[Final Fantasy/Magic/White#Shld2|Shld2]], and [[Final Fantasy/Magic/White#Invs2|Invs2]] like crazy until he can't hit you consistently, then [[Final Fantasy/Magic/Black#Haste|Haste]] and [[Final Fantasy/Magic/Black#Steel|Steel]] on your Knights, Monks, Ninjas, and Red Wizards so they can beat the crap out of Kraken. Of course, you'll never be able to completely avoid Kraken's attacks, since he has such a high attack percentage, but, for the most part the remainder of this battle will be easy.

Black Wizards are actually somewhat effective in this battle, just have them use their [[Final Fantasy/Magic/Black#Bolt3|Bolt3]], and when you run out of those, your [[Final Fantasy/Magic/Black#Ice3|Ice3]] spells. They won't do as much damage as you would expect, but hey, they work well enough. If you run out of Ice3, start randomly using your next strongest spells; they'll hardly do any damage, but it's better than nothing. As long as you have on enough casts of Blink, Invs1, and Invs2, you should be able to easily outlast him, just keep pummeling him with spells with your Wizards and your physical attacks with your other guys and he'll be dead in no time flat.
