Kraken (Alpha) Egg & Breeding Calculator

Full maturation from baby to adult takes ~3 days and 20 hours (1x rate), progressing over an extremely long period, one of the longest in the game. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.

Offspring inherit parental stats and have a small chance to mutate, gaining +2 levels in a random stat. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.

The dinosaur is in its mother's womb, requiring time and care from the mother for successful gestation and birth.

The hatched dinosaur, now a baby, needs constant attention and food placed directly in its inventory to survive, or a nearby Maewing to take care of its needs.

Juvenile

10% - 50%

37:02:13

The dinosaur reaches the juvenile stage, where it can now eat from a feeding trough, reducing the need for direct feeding.

Adolescent

50% - 100%

46:17:46

The dinosaur reaches the adolescent stage, becoming more independent and able to follow you while continuing to grow toward full maturity.

The Kraken (Alpha)'s growth progresses through three stages: Baby (0–10%) lasts ~556 min and requires constant hand-feeding. Juvenile (10–50%) spans ~37h - it can eat from a Trough now. Adolescent (50–100%) takes ~46h - continues eating from troughs, nearly fully grown.

Imprinting during maturation provides permanent stat bonuses. At 100% imprint, the Kraken (Alpha) gains 30% bonus damage and resistance when ridden by the imprinter. Keep various kibble types on hand, as imprint requests are randomized between cuddles, walks, and kibble feeding.

Use the raising calculator to plan food requirements for raising Kraken (Alpha) babies through all three growth stages. Budget ~556 minutes for the Baby phase - this is when hand-feeding or Maewing nursing is mandatory.

Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Kraken (Alpha) babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Consider food spoilage when choosing what to feed: Kibble lasts days, while Raw Meat spoils in minutes.

During the Baby phase (0-10%), you must hand-feed or use a Maewing to nurse. From Juvenile (10%+), dinos can eat from a Feeding Trough on their own. Use Preserving Salt in troughs to double spoil times.

In ARK: Survival Ascended, the Kraken (Alpha) is a boss-tier enemy encountered during an arena battle. It falls within the Boss classification.

Stamina sits at 100 base, providing low stamina reserves. Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Kraken (Alpha) brings respectable melee power to the table. Health-wise, the Kraken (Alpha) sits at 126,000 base, making it one of the toughest creatures in the game. It carries 100 base Weight - a reasonable inventory size.

Once tamed, the Kraken (Alpha) is a fearsome boss that requires serious preparation and a strong army of tames to defeat. A wild Kraken (Alpha) is worth 3000 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
