Catching the Abyssal King is a true test of patience and gear.

Time: Night time boosts the spawn rate significantly.

Location Strategy

Enter The Depths (Vertigo Key required).
Find the Grand Reef crevice and use the Heart of Zeus to enter Atlantis.
Locate the Kraken Pool.
Cast your line and pray. The fight will be difficult (Control is erratic).
