The Kraken - CC Addon

Hello! It's a feedback time!

As ReNegade mentioned, the boss isn't very hard (I'm using only vanilla heroes), but it's not very easy as well.

You need to be prepared for a party shuffling and dealing with bleeding, so taking random heroes you have around is not recommended.

This mod proves that a good fight doesn't have to go in pair with bs/unfair mechanics. In fact, kraken has weaknesses that can be used against him like a low stun resist of his tentacles or a lose of protection after reaching his HP threshold.

However the coolest aspect of this boss is the atmosphere - custom loading screens and dynamic of kraken's behavior. 1st part of the fight makes me feel that I'm fighting a ruthless predator who treats me as another meal in its menu. 2nd part gives us a wild chaotic monster that desperately urges to destroy me.

There is one thing that Jello would polish - trinkets pictures. Imo their quality doesn't suit neither vanilla design nor the rest of graphics this mod provides.

Just defeated it. Looks hard but is actually fairly easy.
The kraken can summon 3 types of tentacles : one that stuns and shuffles, one that deals heavy damage and bleed and one that stress. The kraken can only summon 2 of the 3 types at the same time.
Kill the tentacle that deals damage, and once replaced by the stress tentacle next round, just ignore both tentacles (should be stress and stun tentacle) and focus all damage on the boss.
Upon reaching 50% HP, the boss will lose all its PROT.
Just make sure to have a team that can handle shuffling and tanky enemies and you'll be fine

hm, has anyone else encountered that crash?
junhoan621 27 Feb @ 10:54am 
Every time Kraken uses leviathans furry, the game crashes

Balanced around having other unbalanced mods, not recommended for someone wanting a fair fight

Nice boss mod! But I must agree with Asket401 - it is too powerful for random encounter boss. I suggest to remove it from Courtyard corridors and leave only 3 direct quests for killing Kraken with 100% chance to obtain 1 his trinket instead of miserable 17% chance at the moment. Other option is to create a weaker version of Kraken for random encounters.

I thought it was a wandering boss, and I'm still looking for it, but it's actually invalid. Now three difficulty maps appear together, hoping to change it to the translation software that appeared one by one before, with poor English.

team wiped my entire team, was even prepared for the chance of a random encounter. honestly was probably my fault but I love the design so I can't be too mad :sleepyjill:
Asket401 31 Jul, 2024 @ 7:32pm 
Every single time I go into the courtyard in Courtyard+ I encounter him and it ruins the expedition. Is he supposed to be this oppressively common? he was fun in the quests but encountering him randomly isn't nearly as fun.
Saeurae 24 May, 2024 @ 8:57pm 
Amazing addition. Love this mod! :stars:

i knew it!
JelloSkeleton  [author] 9 Apr, 2024 @ 8:46am 
ye
patrykus05 8 Apr, 2024 @ 7:31am 
this is kraken from battle brothers, yes ?
harshBDSMmaster718 31 Mar, 2024 @ 11:00pm 
Probably more oppressive than all the vanilla bosses, excellently designed though.
ElBastrado 27 Sep, 2023 @ 1:14pm 
Oh, ok :D
I hope the %chance to spawn a hallway fight with him isn't too big, bcs it's a pretty challenging boss and getting him on a boss quest was unexpected :P
JelloSkeleton  [author] 27 Sep, 2023 @ 9:34am 
He starts roaming courtyard quests of the corresponding difficulty when you beat one of his boss quests
ElBastrado 27 Sep, 2023 @ 3:35am 
I just met him in a hallway battle in a Courtyard+ boss quest (the veteran Guardian) and i have to ask - does he roam the Courtyard by default or is it a bug OR was it intentional with the Courtyard+ mod?

Vintage 1 Sep, 2023 @ 3:03pm 
so cool! when's the class mod version coming out?
Ohen 27 Jul, 2023 @ 2:48pm 
does this work with Virulent overhaul ?
土豆 30 Jun, 2023 @ 12:55am 
OK, thank you.
JelloSkeleton  [author] 29 Jun, 2023 @ 12:07pm 
Glad you like our mod! It's not really something I'm planning to do, but anyone is free to use the assets from this mod to make a class mod if they want.
土豆 29 Jun, 2023 @ 8:50am 
Hello, can this be made into a controllable character? Thanks if you can, I love this monster MO

I apologize for my inattention. My bad, I didn't check the prerequisites. All works fine with Crimson Court on.
JelloSkeleton  [author] 26 Jun, 2023 @ 3:20pm 
Make sure you have dlc enabled and aren't at the mod limit
ꏸꑛꍟꉣꂑ꒓ꋫꁕ꒒ꆂ 26 Jun, 2023 @ 3:05pm 
Unfortunately, the mod crashes the game for me (T__T )
AstrayCuriosity 5 Jun, 2023 @ 10:34am 
Incredible. How can people be so talented to create such high quality mods. This one is nearly perfect. These mods is like free dlc to the game.
Meanie 25 May, 2023 @ 9:44pm 
I'd love to have the mod without the quest
amasii 8 May, 2023 @ 8:32am 
absolutely amazing work, man. left me amazed.
Beautiful sound effects, great artwork, and most importantly no crash like the other boss addon mods i played. New quirks and stuff are really well and the difficulty is just right.

Great work! you have talent, and you should eb proud of this work! ^^
Ohen 6 May, 2023 @ 1:36pm 
does this work with Virulent overhaul ?
JediLordNathan 6 May, 2023 @ 10:08am 
Damn that's a terrifying design it does however resemble the Battle Brothers Kraken anyway nice work 10 out of 10
Cyro 21 Apr, 2023 @ 12:33am 
Very cool boss and a good fight.
Gutvald 17 Apr, 2023 @ 2:36am 
He looks like the Kraken of Shining force II
ÒwÓ 15 Apr, 2023 @ 5:17am

Love this boss. Great sound effects, great fight, for a place insect themed, a horrible mutated leviathan is a great addition to the Courtyard.
JelloSkeleton  [author] 2 Apr, 2023 @ 11:44am 
The first CC quest and garden guardian quests constantly change rewards too, so I don't plan on changing that. I don't have a problem if you make a patch yourself, but I'm not sure how to make the reward fixed. Someone in the official discord should be able to help you.
gettodachopanow 2 Apr, 2023 @ 11:08am 
Or if you tell me which value to change I can do it for myself.
gettodachopanow 2 Apr, 2023 @ 11:07am 
Currently the weekly trinket reward is changing every week. Would you consider making it fixed, so it doesn't change from week to week, same as the vanilla CC missions?
JelloSkeleton  [author] 1 Apr, 2023 @ 8:57am 
the boss only spawns in courtyard so no
darthalex41 1 Apr, 2023 @ 8:54am 
will this mod work if i own crimson court but don't have it enabled?
JelloSkeleton  [author] 26 Mar, 2023 @ 5:50am 
they can drop on any difficulty
DiReKToR Games 26 Mar, 2023 @ 5:12am 
I can get this three trinkets only on champion difficult?
