THIS ACHIEVEMENT WILL STILL UNLOCK IF YOU DEFEAT THE KRAKEN ON APPRENTICE MODE!
(I have received mixed reports after updates have been released that it still unlocks on Apprentice and also that it does not. Please continue to post feedback on if it unlocks for you on Apprentice mode)
Once you have unlocked enough cards to face the Kraken, be ready for a fight. Try to gear up with a nice armor and weapon. You will also be fighting Lizardmen so an item like Herne's Antlers would help a lot.
The fight will follow a general outline:
1. Lizardmen will spawn.
2. The Kraken will electrify a platform. Avoid that platform until it is safe.
3. The Kraken will slap a tentacle down onto the ship. At this point in the cycle, it is best to roll around and stay away from the Kraken head to avoid getting hit. Once the tentacle is down, attack the tip to destroy the claw.
4. The Kraken head will float close to the boat. Take this opportunity to hit the head as many times as you can. If you dont attack it enough, it will spew fire. If you are busy with the Lizardmen and it spews fire, stay to the opposite side of the boat.
5. Repeat
A few tips:
-Play on apprentice (easy) difficulty.
-If you heavily damage the Kraken head each round, the outline should only cycle 3-4 times before you win.
-Be ready to fight Lizardmen bosses like the Prince, Queen, and/or King.
-The Time Heals artefact is always one of the best things to have when facing a boss.
***Warning for completionists: This can be obtained without purchase of the Wildcards DLC. There are a few achievements that are obtainable and unlock from a "Title Update" DLC. If you want to avoid unlocking any Title Update achievements when playing the base game, Only play on normal difficulty, and do not complete any cards related to the Kraken or Elder Lizard. The dev has included some DLC encounter cards in the main game and they can be identified easiest by a maroon/red tab in the top right corner of the card with a gold monster head symbol.***
*If this solution helped you in some way, please vote positively. If you think it needs improvement, please let me know how in a private message or by leaving a comment.*
I've since "unlocked" Bling, Corrupted, Great Hunter and Vault Raider, but none of those popped either or show up as completed.

When you go to fight the Kraken, be mindful of his four different moves. He will start off each wave by using a tentacle to pierce a hole (spawner for scales) in the ground, each spawner only has two scales and each wave increases in difficulty.
After he makes a scale spawner, he will make an electric trap on one of the four metal squares. This move isn't too much of an hassle as you can easily avoid the squares.
His third move will be an attempt to smack you with his tentacle, again fairly easy to avoid. When his tentacle lands, start attacking the tip until it pops and he sinks into the water.
His final move will be emerging from the water to lean his head in close enough for you to start hitting him. Be wary that if you don't do enough damage quick enough to cause him to rear his head back, he will breathe fire (again easy to avoid).
All in all, the hardest part about this battle is the scales. The Kraken himself is rather easy and predictable.

Now kill him! There are many different tactics for this fight but one thing is clear; it is a challenge!
Here are Baron Blade's tactics:
1. Try to kill the lizard men immediately
2. When the Kraken slams a tentacle onto the ship, keep attacking it as soon as possible. Specifically attack the joint that connects the tentacle and the claw.
3. Proceed to kill lizard men before Kraken arrives
4. Once Kraken does arrive lay into him as quickly and as relentlessly as possible. He will always move to the same spot so if you haven’t killed the lizard men yet by the time you've smashed one of its tentacles, just shield slam them to the other side before the Kraken arrives.
You will know you've harmed him enough because he won't breathe fire and instead go back into the water, more tentacles will appear then before in the background. Repeat this process 3 times and success you’ve killed him.

I recommend killing the lizards so as not to interfere. But after defeating the Krakens, there will be no need to finish off the remaining lizards.
