Planning a mass raise? The Kraken (Beta) raising calculator breaks down food needs per phase so nothing goes to waste. Expect ~556 minutes of active care during the Baby phase before it graduates to trough-feeding as a Juvenile.
Adjust the dino count to calculate food for multiple Kraken (Beta) babies at once - essential for batch breeding operations. Match your food choice to your play schedule - longer spoil timers mean less babysitting.

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.
The baby Kraken (Beta) takes approximately 3 days and 20 hours to fully mature at default rates - over many real-world days, demanding serious time investment. During the baby phase (0–10%), hand-feed it directly. From 10% onward (juvenile), it can eat from a Feeding Trough.
Mutations can add +2 levels to any stat and change colors. Stacking mutations across generations is the key to min-maxed breeding lines. Use the breeding calculator to plan food requirements, incubation timers, and maturation phases.
Raising a baby Kraken (Beta) involves three maturation phases: 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.
Don't skip imprinting - each successful imprint boosts the Kraken (Beta)'s stats, and hitting 100% grants a 30% combat bonus when the imprinter rides it. Imprint requests include cuddling, walks, and specific kibble - check the wiki for which kibble to stockpile.
The Kraken (Beta) is one of ARK: Survival Ascended's boss creatures, fought in its own arena with a prepared team. It belongs to the Boss category.
Dealing 100% base Melee Damage, the Kraken (Beta) brings decent hitting power to the table. Starting at 84,000 Health, it's an absolute bullet sponge. Its base Stamina of 100 gives it tires quickly. Weight capacity starts at 100, giving it a reasonable inventory size.
After taming, the Kraken (Beta) guards its arena fiercely - come prepared with your best creatures and gear. A wild Kraken (Beta) is worth 3000 base experience when killed. It can be cloned at a Cloning Chamber for 0 Element plus 0 Element per level.
