How to Complete the Castle Kraken Venture

Learn how to complete the Castle Kraken Venture in Saints Row (2022). This guide covers unlocking the venture, completing Dustland Beacon events, and the rewards you'll earn.

Alright, so you're looking to get the Castle Kraken Venture up and running in Saints Row? It's a pretty straightforward one, mostly involving setting some beacons on fire and then dealing with the folks who show up. Let's break it down.

How to Unlock Castle Kraken:

First things first, you can't just buy this Venture right away. You'll need to have completed the missions The Dustmoot and Networking. Once those are done, you can establish Castle Kraken for a cool $30,000. Yeah, LARPing ain't cheap, apparently.

Completing the Dustland Beacon Events:

Once Castle Kraken is established, it'll start giving you a passive income. It begins at $2,500 per hour, but you can bump that up to $5,000/hour by clearing all the Threats in its district. To get the max $7,500/hour, you gotta finish all the unique Venture activities, and Castle Kraken only has two of these: the Dust Storm Beacon in Badlands North and the Phoenix Beacon in Badlands South.

Here's the drill for each:

1. Head to the Venture location (either Badlands North for the Dust Storm Beacon or Badlands South for the Phoenix Beacon).
2. Find the beacon and set it on fire.
3. Get ready! Waves of Dustlanders will show up to attack you.
4. Defeat all the Dustlanders. You can use weapons like the [Dustlander Revolver], [Dustlander Shotgun], and [Dustlander Crossbow]. If you need backup, you can also summon allies.
5. While you're fighting, keep an eye out for the They See Me Rolein’ Challenge if you've completed the [Drawing Heat] mission. It's a good time to make progress on that.

After you've dealt with the Dustlanders at both beacons, you'll need to head back to Castle Kraken and report your success to the Loremaster. That's it for the actual Venture activities!

Finishing up the Castle Kraken Venture isn't just about the bragging rights (and the increased income, of course). You'll also unlock the Mission The Rod Warrior, score 5,000 XP, and get $30,000. On top of that, you'll snag some cool gear:

• Dustlander Crew Outfits (male and female Saints crew models)
• Dustrider (a unique motorcycle)
• Costume, Dustlander (a full-body outfit)
• D20 (a small collectible)
