How to Complete the Castle Kraken Challenge

Master the Castle Kraken Challenge in Saints Row (2022)! Learn how to unlock it, equip the Dustlander outfit, defeat 30 Dustlanders, and get 30 kills with the Dustlander Sword.

Alright, so you're looking to tackle the Castle Kraken Challenge in Saints Row? No sweat, I'll walk you through it. First things first, you'll need to have completed the mission called [The Dustmoot]. That's your ticket to unlocking the [Castle Kraken] Venture. Once you've got that Venture set up, the challenge should pop up. It's got three main goals:

1. Wear a Dustlander outfit.
2. Take down 30 Dustlanders.
3. Get 30 kills using the Dustlander Sword.

Honestly, these aren't too tricky, and you might even knock them out without really trying while you're busy with the Venture itself. Sometimes the game likes to stagger when you get the gear you need, but we'll cover that.

How to Defeat Dustlanders

The objective to defeat 30 Dustlanders is pretty much a given. You'll almost certainly get this done while you're working on the Castle Kraken Venture activities. Remember, that involves lighting two beacons and then dealing with waves of Dustlander enemies after each one. If, by some slim chance, you haven't hit 30 kills by then, don't worry! You've got the missions [The Rod Warrior] and [Unto the Breach] coming up, which are perfect for racking up the rest of your kills.

How to Find the Dustlander Outfit

So, after you wrap up [The Rod Warrior], you'll unlock the Dustlander outfit. All you gotta do is slap it on to tick that box. It's a full-body getup, so just head to the “Style” app on your phone and equip it. Easy peasy.

How to Find the Dustlander Sword

The last piece of the puzzle is the Dustlander Sword. You'll unlock this after completing the mission [Unto the Breach]. Once you've got it, equip it and start slicing and dicing. You need to get 30 enemy kills with it to finish this objective. Quick tip: if you're finding it a bit of a grind, don't be afraid to lower the game's difficulty or upgrade your sword to make things go faster. And hey, if you need some easy targets and want to make a bit of cash while you're at it, just replay an @TCHA Side Hustle a few times. It's a good way to grind out those kills without too much hassle.
