Kraken's Wake
River 8 of 8
The worst storm yet: kraken tentacles, waterspouts and a fleet of ghost ships.
Rivers open in order: finish Dragon's Gullet to unlock this one. Until then the button opens the river list, so you can see how far there is to go.

What's on Kraken's Wake
In the order your crew meets them. Difficulty 5 of 5.
Kraken tentacles ×9
They rear back from the bank, then slam across the river. The rear-back is the hint.
Spiked banks
Brush the edge and the raft pops. Keep to the middle.
Floating mines ×6
Spiky balls bobbing in the water. Touch one and KABOOM.
Ghost ships ×5
They rise downstream and sail straight back up the river at you.
Spike fences
Spikes across the whole river with one gap that slides. Aim for the gap.
Waterspouts ×4
Twisters that wander across the river and suck the raft in. Toot clear early.
Lightning ×2
Strikes across the river one spot at a time, back and forth. Read the rhythm.
Swinging booms ×2
A spiked boom hinged on the bank, swinging across the river on a timer.
Big drops
The river falls away and the water speeds up. Line up before the edge.
Rapids upstream
Water running back the way you came. Everyone toots the same way, or nobody gets up.
Crushers
Blocks that slam shut across the river. Go through while they’re open.
Sluice gates ×2
Spiked gates that open for a moment, then slam shut. They wait for no hippo.
Spinners
Spiked arms sweeping round in the middle of the river. Time your gap.
