When you and the boys are chillin and the water turns black...
Grand Voyagers this literally happened to me and my crew. we were just on our phones late at night in the middle of the ocean and the big boy decided to spawn on us
I love the discordant bass humming at the beginning. Truly personifies the dread felt as the water turns jet black...
It would be even more terrifying if the water steadily turned black while the bass was playing. Just imagine your boat slowly coming to a halt, the water morphing into nothing but an inky abyss. And then... you hear it emerging. The writhing, bloodthirsty horror that has claimed so many pirate lives... has fixed its hungering gaze on your vessel as its next meal.
@@rjmooose2795 It actually kind of does in game! If you see videos of it, part of the time, when it appears correctly, it does turn the water black on cue with the bass, although, it turns the water in a wave, from one side of it's radius to the other, but I agree it would be way cooler if it turned the water all at once, and faded it to black, all the more terrifying.
The Kraken tests if your good at team cooperation, Cannon Aiming and making sure you have enough supplies to even survive
Or just ram it's tentacle it insta kills the tentacle and then you book it
Me and my two other friends took down a megalodon and the one jumped to grab the loot and out came a Kraken and we killed that too. This was actual the other day
The personified bass screeching at the start is absolutely terrifying
I know I have become a seasoned SoT player as that sounds makes my stomach drop even when I’m not playing the game.
I one time saw a crew get attacked in the distance by the Kraken. My crew and I decided to be chill and lend them a hand. As soon as we got close, the ship started shooting at us instead of the Kraken. I couldn't tell if they were being paranoid or just that bloodthirsty. Either way, they probably wouldn't have sunk had they kept focusing on the Kraken
The water turns back. Your ship starts going slower than ever. This starts playing. Tentacles pop out the water. Then the murder happens.
@Rayshawn Coon Duos have the same level and also if you know what you’re doing on any other ship with enough supplies it’s still possible lol
Me casually drinking grog downstairs when I hear my teammates yelling to man the cannons while this theme plays in the background...
Funny... first time i heard this noise the entire crew (including me) was hammered on Grog
Kraken would rather attqck you if you're drunk, playing some instruments or other things like that bcs then the game classifies you as not ready for a fight so kraken can suprise attqck you
“Am I drunk af, or is there actually a kraken trying to kill us?”
“Both, Captain”
So this is a long story
So my 3 friends and I just got done with a skull fort and we head out to sell our stuff. One friend says “Hold on lemme get drunk.” So I said “I swear to god if a kraken attacks while ur drunk imma be pissed.” Another friend of mine says “What the hell...? So I go up on deck and lo and behold the water is black and ambient music is playing. So I yell “I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN DAMN IT.” So we lost all of that loot because the kraken is impossible to defeat on a galleon, especially since one of us was drunk.
Me and the boys: just cruising
Kraken: I’m about to end these men’s whole careers
@@BrawlerDonna yeah but kraken on a sloop solo is honestly easier than megaladons most of the time, just equip eye of reach and blunderbuss and if you hear the kraken make a sound it's usually starting an attack so you gotta run to the back of the ship inside so it can't succ and basically just repair and shoot
@@BrawlerDonna
That guy is a madlad.
Soloing a kraken with only a sloop!
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx Yeah! And yesterday i was alone and i killed a Kraken with a Sword... Yikes. XD
"Man guys, I'm glad we got that athena's voyage done, that was tough."
"why is this water bl- OH FUCK"
This game has the most unsettling music in existence
And I still can't stop playing it
What do you want from them?
A lullaby whilst firing huge cannons at an aggresive kraken?
If unsettling music is part of your fancy, search up Beware Chase Theme.
Yo, look up “Gravemind” ost from Halo 3. That song is like the anxiety theme song
The humming at the beginning is about as menacing as the sound of a Cloaker charging.
When you sail solo for 5 minutes and the water turns black, thx empty lobbies...
BrainDeadKenny there are 3 events in game, a skull fort, a skeleton fleet and the kraken, it’s a one in six chance you get attacked and that’s why it attacked when the lobby was empty
BrainDeadKenny The Kraken attacks one of the first ships sailing on the open seas after the last world event ended, whether someone completes them or they time out. I've had the same thing happen, my crew had literally just started playing and we left the outpost we spawned in, not even 30 seconds later we get attacked by the Kraken. Always check for active world events before setting sail if you don't want to face the Kraken...
I remember the first time I came into contact with the kraken
I was sailing to go pick up two chest
All of a sudden my boat stops while I was looking at the map
I decide to walk out on deck to see the water was black and thought to myself, "huh that's weird" and then tenticals sprung up out of the water and all I could think was, Shiiiiiiiiiit-
Right before ending up in the bottom of the ocean
Ah yes the music you only hear for 10 seconds before tentacles start roaring and
S U C C I N G
the music you hear for 10 seconds until the kraken runs away because they nerfed it to oblivion on sloops
@@phillipdobbs6530 it is actually sad, the kraken doesn't even worry me anymore on a sloop, but on a gally then it means something
"...Oh sure, attack me just when I just got good loot!"
It’s programmed to attack the person with the best loot in the server
You are all pretty much right if there is no skull or ship cloud in the sky a Kraken spawns and it is random who it attacks but you have to on the water that's a bit deep (obviously) but who it attacks is random but it increases your chances depending if you have more loot
When this music starts playing, my poor heart...
I was playing with my friends and we were purposely driving into the Red Sea to kill ourselves to get a new ship at an outpost.
The kraken spawned and killed us.
*_task failed successfully_*
When you work the equation with the wrong method but still get the right answer.
When me and my friends encountered the kraken my friend was joking around saying “Why’s the water turning black” and 10 seconds later the kraken spawns and we had no idea what to do and just screamed for 5 minutes before it claimed are ship
The new guy "why is the water black, and what is that music?"
The veteran "OHHH SHHIII-"
Love this track, however i've always said they should replace the Kraken music with the fort music, and vice versa. Personally I think this music fits a skeleton fort much better!
Nah this fits the Kraken best period. Mainly because of the suspenseful part that plays.. which THIS guy hasn't recorded... either that or this is the official OST and that part just isn't included, only in the actual GAME.
If it were the other way around, IE: if you were tasked with defending a fort from skeleton ships, then that ominous opening would be appropriate. But if that played while YOU were attacking, it wouldn't feel right at all.
Captain Falcore Ready the sails, man the guns and pray to Athena for good wind..
When your going to an outpost and all of a sudden, your ship stops
John Bruner I got attacked right on the shoreline at the outpost by the kraken, like how can it even fit there
Plunder outpost got me a kraken and a meg or two. All on solo sloops. Fun.
Christine Daaè I left golden sands and the game gave me a meg, kraken, and skeleton ship all at the same time :/
@@microooo Did you live? Like I only have dealt with a meg and skellie ship at the same time.
"Oh screw you"
- guy in my crew after i played this over my mic
music of sea of thieves is awesome work
Every time the kraken spawns on me I say “Hello old friend.” Then proceed to fight it.
" 'Ello Beastie"
*draws sword then dies in the single most pirate/epic way ever possible*
@@dudeonacow9917 I know, but I'm just describing what happens in a Sea of Theives average kraken fight.
“WE HAVE LIKE... 6,000 COINS WORTH OF STUFF RIGHT NOW!!”
The crew:*sailing to an outpost to sell loot*
This song:*plays*
The crew:NO GOD PLEASE NO!
when i first encountered this with my friend, i knew there was a kraken. i wasn’t prepared for how legitimately frightening it would be. well done rare!
Kraken: *Spawns*
Me trying to get kraken meat cause I'm low on food: *Jokes on you I'm into that shit*
Me: Chill
This starts playing as the water turns black
Me: *Turns Xbox off and goes to cry in the corner*
XD
Argh! My recent encounters with krakens as a solo slooper has only yielded about 2 pieces of loot after taking down 3 tentacles.
I look for the areas where the tentacles die and can only find loot in 1 out of the 3 spots.
Compared to soloing a Meg, soloing a kraken feels underwhelming.
Thanks man, been looking for this!
i love that the music doesn't end in a triumphant jingle, but in a more eary way, as the kraken wasn't killed, he just ran away angry
I’m pretty sure that’s what happens, seeing as how krakens are canonically different colors depending on the specimen, and the one we fight is always pink/green
First ten seconds, pure dread and confusion 😂 Goose bumps!!
I know now that I have become a seasoned SoT player. My stomach genuinely drops when I hear that intro, even when not playing the game.
Me: Oh man I just completed the fort of the damned!
Kraken: I'm about to end this man's whole career
Cannons on my sloop: Are you challenging me?
The first time I experienced the kraken fight was probably my most terrifying encounter in gaming
Pro tip, The Kraken can't spawn when a skull fort is up
@@captainmulroy365 The game events run in cycles. When skull fort (or a skelly galleon) is up. The Kraken can't spawn. Ever notice how you tend to get attacked right after doing a fort? That's why.
Literally in the very first 5 minutes of my first departure this guy decided to show up and tested our crew. 3 Noobies and one experienced captain who tries to coordinate us, explaining the controls mid fight haha
Honestly. That bass at the start and the water turning black still brings me dread to this day
Was playing a DND Game on Discord and our Dungeon Master put this into the #music channel without any context. Needless to say it was the biggest "WHY DO I HEAR BOSS MUSIC?" moment of our lives.
Sloop kraken - Too easy
Brig kraken - A challenge
Gal kraken - Is balance a word?
I barely survived a brig kraken after everyone but me on my team lagged out of the game. Most tense moment in my whole pirating career
If this is the song that plays when the kraken shows up, what song does the kraken hear when someone who's hunting it shows up.?
When the 5yo in the duck floaty makes a weird face and the water gets warm:
The first time I watched it pick up a ship my heart sank, the raw power on display in that moment was soul crushing
take my sub for uploading the OST rare has yet to put out
dude it was so terrifying. I was new to the game and i was by myself on a sloop. The water turned black and the opening sound to the event played. I didnt know what any of it meant, except for the water. I was completely terrified and stood np chance against the kraken. I havnt been krakened sense but now i always think the water turned black even of it is just that i am near reapers hideout or the fort of the damned
When you pair this music with sounds of when you hit or kill a tentacle is truly something to behold.
I am struck with instant fear every time I listen to this
Thanks for doing this man I've been looking for this for ages LETS GO
Me: has an Athena
Game: thicc squid time
When you decide to go on a cruise ship but then hear this.
I always get that chilly feeling when you listen to music like this
I was sailing to do a gold hoarder vault quest. When I got back I had no planks beacause a ship attacked me. And of course then water turns black and Squidward popped up.
Reminds me of Gears, hopefully you can play as marcus and dom one day in sot like lost planet style.
when everyone leaves and your the only one on the boat 😭:
my friends and i were getting chased by a reaper brig and we had our dive pulled up but they were always just too close, imagine our laughter and relief when we see that brig slow down and tentacles surround it as we're almost in the red sea.
I remember sailing through a storm on a galleon, and before we knew it we were in the most dramatic kraken encounter one could ask for.
I feel bad for the kraken. Whenever he tries to show up and say hi everyone gets mad and shoots at him or hides
When you’re just finished a 5 hour fishing trip and you’re about to sell your bounty. Profit, or complete and utter loss.
First time I saw the kraken me and my freind were on a sloop and I just shouted *KRAKEN*
Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look to the sky with hope in his eyes! And let this day be forever cursed by we who ready to wake...the Kraken!
dude back then before the hungering deep, i remember not knowing much about this games and thought it was just about exploring, but then the water turned black and i was like "wtf im actually scared" until the tentacles appeared and fucking unplugged my xbox for the rest of the day, now i have the game again and i have solo slooped 4 krakens.
EDIT: 15TH KRAKEN SOLO!
EDIT: Ive stopped playing this game, but hey, i killed 45 krakens in all.
To be fair the kraken is almost not a challenge to a sloop with a decent amount of supplies, Try that thing on a galleon or brig where it covers up the staircase preventing you from repairing or bucketing for up to one minute.
Man the same thing happened to me yesterday I was so scared . I am new to the game and I had a brigantine crew of 3 people I knew . I was on the crows nest and the water went black and I was like what the ... Suddenly the music started playing and my team in the Xbox party was like omg get down .... Then we were all killed
Should i mention that you never kill it. You only send it back down to the deep whenever you hurt it enough
00:00 - your friends from school tell you that there was a test during the online class you didn't attend to
0:21 - your parents call you by your full name
When you notice a well grown spider in your house and you can hear this music start playing
I always remember the scene from PotC, where master Gibbs screams “kraken!”. Too funny
That’s what I did when I was trying to get kraken for a commendation. When the water turned black I just screamed “KRAKEN! KRAKEN! KRAKEEEEEEN!!!”
I love his in this game there can be just a peacefull song as the Sun rises, then the song cuts, a part of the song plays and after a short silence you See some monstrocity attacking you as the song progresses
My first time was terrifying 😂, had just finished taking down a meg with me friends when we saw the water turn jet black and this started playing
Sounds daunting. Beautiful. Beware the Kraken 🐙
“Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake..........
THE KRAKEN!”
DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After a fort raid: FUCKING RUN THERES 2 GALLEONS AND A BRIG ON US
*0:00*
*wHaT iN tHe GoDdAmN*
Come on guys we are almost at the oupost to sell...whys the water black?
Flashback to that time me & my friend got 4 chests from a message in a bottle on the same voyage we were doing a merchant quest and had got the fucking chickens loaded up with the chests AND some storage crates we had found on the island, only for The Kraken to rock up and destroy our ship.
Me and the boys: coming back after looting fort of the damned.
The game:
When I got the game I was obsessed with the kraken I just wanted to see it, And when I actually saw it I was so damm happy but my cannons did nothing to this magnificent beast so I just watched how my ship sunk while the legendary kraken hold me with his glorious tentacles ( this kinda sounds like a hentai xd )
Perfect Soundtrack for this Monstrum ... Epic
Can’t you hear the music?! That’s a 4/4 string ostinato in d minor! Every sailor knows it means death!
Me and the boys after completing a skeleton fort
Honestly it was less scary when it didnt attack as often but now it's like if I wanna just solo sloop and go fish somewhere theres a chance this bastard will stop me on the way everytime and that is truly frightening
Brandon Grotha I truly agree I’m PL and it still scares me the suspense of getting a kraken is much worse than actually getting it
@@vickymarieleon8108 I was athenas guardian before you could get athenas xp from killing them and the ship customizations you get for the commendations arent too appealing to me. So I've almost never had any reason to stay and fight them unless I needed gold that badly lol.
THIS is a really cool boss fight and thanks to shrouded spoils it's hard as hell.
We just defeated it yesterday, after a Skeleton Fort Event. It wasn't very hard and it dropped so much good loot!
Depending on the ship your on and how many ships are in the black water the difficulty is
Personally, I think they should add another kraken the was named the "Mother of Krakens" or something and it is extremely rare and super hard to beat, yet the loot is even better. The current Kraken music would be replaced with something less ominous and more epic, while the Mother of Krakens would adopt this song. I feel like at this point the kraken is less of an obstacle and more of an annoyance, yet this Mother of Krakens would be a tough challenge and would be more of an unescapable obstacle.
Casey De Luca That can’t happen, because the kraken you are describing, a bigger more powerful kraken, would be exactly like the Old Mother, which if you learned the lore you would have realized that it was killed by the Ancients a long time ago. Good idea though, and I wish it could be a thing, but it is not going to happen. :(
@@SerPandemonium I'm sure that rare could think of a way. Maybe, the old mother was thought to be dead, but it was reincarnated by an evil ritual! Muahahaha...
"Hey bro?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to need you above deck."
"Why?"
*Unholy screeching begins*
"Why do i hear boss music?"
Every time I attempt to do a tall tales the stupid kraken shows up and totally weeks my day, the truth is iv'e never killed it because it took me by surprise.
I was playing with a random person and we had some very good loot then kraken came and we both were pretty new to the game so we didn't know how to fight with it. We just put all the loot in a rowboat and rowed to the closest outpost one navigated and one rowed it took a very long time but it was a lot of fun.
When I first encounter the kraken I was playing for the first time with my friends who knew a bit about the game and I’m just like why do I here boss music
POV You're on your way back from a Skeleton fortress and 5 PvP battles.
Me and my friends were all in our crows nest playing the instruments. As the song we were playing finished the water turned black and we all panicked. We ended up surviving lucky enough
The kraken may not seem scary but every time i see the water go black it sends a chill down my spine and scares half the shit out of me
A tip i have for you is.
Disconnect and join a new game because the only decent thing you recieve from a kraken is kraken meat.
Its not worth your life.
"Oh theres 4 of you, good luck"
the first time the kraken spawned on me and my crew i wasn't looking at the water so when the kraken came out it scared the shit outta me
When you go afk for 30 seconds and the boys are yelling at you to get back on quickly
Recently I had a heart attack moment. We had tons of treasure after a long grind (I was playing with friends on Discord), and suddenly this theme kicked in and the Dicord connection broke up. We somehow survived but it was a shock...
"The Kraken wakes from murky abyss,
preying on ships with tentacles
that won't be missed."
I never left a game this fast before
The first time I encountered the kraken, me and my bud were solo slooping. We saw a skeleton sloop coming mighty close to the outpost we JUST started at..so we decided "Yeah we can take him on." So we go out to go and face our skeletal adversary..and during the ensuing naval battle, the water turns inky black, and I get my first up close glimpse of the kraken. I was terrified, lol.
Don't you just love it when the event timer runs out and you're conveniently the only ship on the open ocean?
Ong
Lol
Lol
Yes I Do
Do you mean just one timer event like fort of fortune or so
