To increase your chance of finding the Kraken, don't swim close to the coast, and don't use ink or beacons that keep away the Kraken.
To defeat it, I suggest you have a sturdy ship and spare repair kits. Having a character with "Reset" / "Stun" (skipping the enemy's turn) also helps, because after a while, the Kraken can escape.

[Light]

You won't be able to find the Kraken on "Frost adventure" Game mode. So you're going to be wasting time with the "Sushi Chef" Achievement on that one

[pink balem]

For the welcome to the jungle achievement, what do we have to do? like i completed the questline yet it didnt pop up, "complete" means win in every single difficulty? or what

[Orodaelius]

And for the "Sally forth!" achievement: Didn't work for me in the Frost Campaign either. But when reclaiming Tamula in the Lost Civilization Campaign, I instantly got it.

[Orodaelius]

Just wanted to add: The Floor is Lava is unlocked by completing the Ashfall Islands Questline in the "Lost Civilization" campaign instead of the arenas questline (so it's basically the opposite of "Are you not entertained?").
This requires you to complete the Obsidian Keep, thus you'll also complete "It's getting hot in here" simultaneously.

Yach Yach, I can't say I know for sure what would cause that to happen. That's really weird.
Lots of people use Steam Achievement Manager (SAM) to fix bugged achievements.
The video goes into more detail, but it's totally safe to use.

Here's a youtube video if you were curious to go that route, though I'd suggest you only use it in a situation like yours just because cheating achievements takes away from the challenge.

Good luck! :)

[Yach Yach]

What would be bugging the Sieged Town achievement? I've beaten the Frost campaign multiple times now, always fighting a sieged town on the second continent (multiple ones, really), before the ascent - but still don't have the achievement.
Any thoughts?
