Tia Dalma mentions the Kraken was the one who dragged Jack Sparrow and his beloved Pearl to the Locker, and that most who hear of it tend to run for shore to avoid its wrath; those willing to face it, like Sora, are rare.. During the battle against the Dutchman, Luxord calls upon the Kraken to remove the Pearl from "the game", forcing Sora's ship to fire on the beast to free the vessel. During the fight on the Dutchman, the Kraken's tentacles lash out at the heroes when they gain the upper hand against Davy Jones.

Gameplay
Only the Kraken's tentacles holding the Pearl are very vulnerable. The ones being used as barrier are much tougher, and requite a lot of time to wear down; this however, is a very poor choice, as it will allow the Kraken to being crushing the Pearl without interruption. Adding onto this is the Flying Dutchman firing on the Leviathan from different angles

The best method is to fire at the gaps in the Kraken's tentacles to damage it. Take out the Dutchman by firing on its orbs, powering up the ship's bombarding attacks and use them on the Kraken to deal a huge amount of damage at once. Make use of the barrier to hold off fire from the Dutchman, and then retaliate with cannon fire to allow yourself some breathing room to fire on the Kraken.
