The fight

Mechanics

Cave krakens sit as whirlpools until you disturb one.

Fishing explosives won't bring the normal ones up. Its attacks are magic, so you can pray against them, and it hits up to 13 every 6 ticks. Melee can't be used at all, halberds included. Earth spells do 50% extra.

Which style: Magic only. Ranged does a seventh of its damage and melee can't be used.
