Healers
One healer gets assigned to each Galleon. Healing should be kept to minimal as possible. Use Protective Wings if possible when the Kraken uses his ability, Tsunami. Resurrect the people who die on your assigned Galleon.

Galleons
9 Galleons with 36 players shooting all the cannons is the minimum DPS requirement to kill the Kraken. The Kraken will regenerate more health than damage dealt if you go with less. 10 Galleons with 40 players shooting the cannons or more is highly recommended. Galleon owners are assigned to their own as cannoneers or healers.

Cannoneers
Cannoneers must have 2000 Steel Ammo each to shoot at the Kraken. 4 players are assigned to each Galleon as cannoneers.

Tank
The Tank goes in first fully buffed. Positioning is extremely important of the Tank, otherwise the Kraken will use Tentacle Smash. Tank for 5 minutes before everyone starts dealing DPS to the Kraken. Use consumables at will.

Tank Support
The player supporting the Tank goes in after the tank. You position yourself 20 meters directly under the Tank. If positioned correctly you will not receive any damage through the whole fight. When the Kraken uses lightning and puts a debuff on the Tank use Mirrors Light to cancel the effect. Do slow heals at the start. When the Kraken raises his Tentacles start channeling Anthesis. Always keep the tank buffed with Resurgence and Renewal. Playing Bulwark Ballad throughout the fight is helpful.

Galleons
Everyone goes on their assigned Galleons 200-250 meters away waiting for the Tank to get good aggro of the Kraken. Galleons position around the Kraken in a circle 90-120 meters away from the Kraken. The Kraken will charge at Galleons. When the Kraken uses the ability Sea God's Retreat it is recommended to stop DPS while he channels to prevent bugs.

Loot
On death the Kraken will drop 1 of the 4 items.

Arcadian Sea Guardian

Arcadian Sea Pillager

Arcadian Sea Sovereign

Feathered Dragon Glider

The Kraken will always drop the following:

Kraken Ink Sac

Jester's Coinpurse

Pygmy Kraken Tentacles

Writhing Kraken Tentacles

Gargantuan Kraken Tentacles

Kraken Tentacles will be on the surface of the water when the Kraken dies. They have the same mechanics as fish and can be crafted into trophies or handed in for gold at a Fish Stand. The most sort after is the largest, Gargantuan Kraken Tentacle. It has become ArcheAge culture to rush into the water when the Kraken dies to get a Gargantuan Kraken Tentacle so players can make jokes of "who has the biggest one."
