It's time to get kraken and bone up on the Nakarkos! I'm not going to fibia, I've only fought the Low-Rank version, and it was not exactly a skeleton of fun. I heard other people jaw about how it's an easy boss, so I underestimated it and ended up getting boned. I said to myself, "Oh, what a calamarity! That fight was a pain in the tarsal!" But then I had to mollusk myself a question - was it really a good idea to solo it with a non-elemental S+S? Here's hoping the final form is more hydrawesome​.

But Nakarkos. For an invertebrate, it has real backbone. Its design is absolutely killer - first it's a skeletal hydra, and then it becomes a giant cuttlefish! The skull-switching mechanic is cool as hell and really proves that Nakarkos knows what it's doing. Speaking of, how about Wyvern's End, huh? This monster octopies a graveyard in the depths of a deep pit! And the base camp is nothing to squid around about, either.
