How to unlock the WET achievement in OVERWHELM - Definitive Guide

Prior to starting the game make sure you throw on all of the assist options as they do NOT disable achievements. You can find these under Options->Difficulty.

Kraken is the boss on the bottom right of the map. This is in my opinion the hardest of the 5 bosses, although not necessarily "hard" imo. I was able to tackle it relatively easily by just staying near the top of the water and dodging it's swipes. In the video below you can view the boss fight at about the 1:13 mark (All credit to Indie James)

Wow, I really shouldn't have done him last. This is driving me crazy. All the other bosses I got first try but this one is driving me nuts. Tried him at least 8-10 times now. He has a lot more health and seems to move much faster if you do him as the last one. I can't even get away from him in his final stage he moves so much faster than me.

Keep your distance. This boss is very irritating but if u focus primarily on distance it becomes a lot easier.

Yeah, the 'ultimate' form of this guy was a bitch with a capital B. The biggest problem is that his speed underwater is waaaaay faster than yours. The only real advice I can give is to make sure you're falling down away from him as much as possible when he gives chase since this is the only way to move ALMOST as fast as him while underwater. Of course this is a bit easier said than done when you start getting jellyfish sneaking up on you too, but moving downward most of the time underwater was the only way I could really consistently keep my distance during his charging. Lastly I'd also recommend jumping up on one of the islands between disappearances-reappearances not only to catch your breath but to reset the downward distance you can dive away as he approaches you again. Good luck!

The Kraken is located in the bottom right of the map. You will know you are in the right area when you start to see water and jellyfish along the way. After breaking the crystal container, you must fight and defeat the Kraken to earn the WET achievement.

Luckily, you can turn on all the assists in setting which will not interfere with your achievement unlocking so definitely check them all!

Strategy


After awhile of evading and shooting, you'll take down the Kraken (signified by it stopping and then bursting into white energy). The achievement will pop after defeating it.
