Windrose Bosses Guide
Kraken, Ghost Captain, and Storm Leviathan—patterns, prep, and loot on thewindrose.wiki.
Boss design rewards preparation: learn phase lengths, assign crew jobs, and bring biome-specific resistances. Kraken tests naval awareness, Ghost Captain blends melee discipline with add control, and Storm Leviathan stacks environmental hazards atop huge HP pools. Review combat fundamentals before attempting these locks—parry inconsistency costs more here than in open world. Use the embedded videos as timing references, then practice in solo or private co-op to reduce downtime.
