Kraken is the monster that can be found in Alaska.
In order to catch Kraken, the player must complete the quests given by Ava. In her final quest, Ava asks the player to buy some monster bait from Broken Rod Anglers Store (however, this is not necessary to catch Kraken) and tells the player to catch Kraken in the northeast. After having caught Kraken, the player must return Kraken to Ava to complete the quest and earn the Kraken badge.
Kraken can be caught in the day and night in the northeast area from Cold Bay to Whale Depths, using the cast-and-wait method. Monster bait can be spread in areas where monsters can be caught; the presence of bubbles on the water surface indicates the monster is nearby. It is recommended to equip at least a Carbon Rod, ideally a Monster Hunter Rod, as well as Temporary Luck to increase the chances of a successful catch.
While waiting for a monster to bite, if Coco says "Patience...", it means that the spot is correct, and the monster will likely be caught on the next cast.
Prior to the June 2023 updates, it was possible to catch monsters using the cast-and-reel method in one of three or four spots, which were on a fixed schedule and changed daily. However, it is no longer possible to use this method to catch monsters, and the location is now random.
Sometime in March 2023, Kraken underwent a substantial evolutionary adaptation, making sure that local fisherfolk no longer mistook it for the common octopus! On 10 June 2024, Kraken received another visual update to make it even more menacing.
