Nebuloth Kraken in Steal an Egg: How to Catch It (2026)

To get the Nebuloth Kraken in Steal an Egg, finish the Alien Ferryman’s 20-fish quest, travel to the Alien Lagoon, and fish while the Cosmic Eclipse runs at :25 and :55 every hour. It is a Divine pet with a limited shared stock, so being there on time matters more than owning the fanciest rod.

Most failed attempts have nothing to do with bad luck. Players arrive after the catch counter already hit zero, or they burn the opening minutes finishing the Ferryman’s quest while the Kraken is being caught around them. This guide covers the requirements, the exact timer, how the shared stock behaves, and what to do once the egg lands in your inventory.

What Is the Nebuloth Kraken in Steal an Egg?

The Nebuloth Kraken is a Divine pet that comes from fishing, not from stealing an egg off a nest. That alone makes it unusual. Every other pet on your base started life in a biome nest, but this one drops from a rod during a timed event, and only while its shared stock lasts.

Divine is the highest rarity tier in the game, which explains why the stock is capped and why players across every server compete for it at the same moment.

Income is where guides disagree. Some list the Kraken’s base income per second around $8.5B, while others show closer to $17B. Neither figure is confirmed by the developers, so treat them as a range. Hatch one and read the pet card to see what your own copy earns, because size rolls and mutations change the final number.

What Do You Need Before You Can Fish for It?

Three things stand between you and the Lagoon.

• 250B Speed. This is the figure most players report for entering the Alien Biome. If you are still climbing toward it, finish that first, because nothing below works until you are inside the biome.
• A fishing rod. Talk to the Alien Ferryman and he hands you a starter rod, or an Alien Rod if you do not already own the Halloween fishing rod. The older Halloween fishing rod works too.

• The 20-fish quest. Cast beside the Ferryman until the quest counter reaches 20. Every catch counts, so you do not need a particular fish. Talk to him again and pick Go to Lagoon. That option is separate from the Void Pearls trade menu, which trips up a surprising number of players.

Two things are not required. The Kraken Rod, which you earn from a late fishing milestone, is not a prerequisite for catching the pet despite the name. And you do not need to finish the seven-Relic Alien Gate first. The gate and the Kraken are separate goals.

When Does Cosmic Eclipse Start in Steal an Egg?

Cosmic Eclipse opens in the Alien Lagoon twice an hour, at :25 and :55. That gives you a new round every 30 minutes.

Clock Time	Round
:25	Cosmic Eclipse starts
:55	Cosmic Eclipse starts

The game does not show these times in your local format, so work from the minute marks rather than the hour. Arrive a minute or so early. That is preparation, not an unlock rule: it gives you time to equip the rod and find a clear spot on the dock before the pool opens.

If the developers adjust the schedule in a later patch, the Steal an Egg updates page is where the change will show up first. Do not confuse the Eclipse with the random Tidal Surge event, which floods the biome and brings its own set of pets.

How Does the 750 Shared Stock Work?

Each Cosmic Eclipse round has a pool of 750 Kraken catches, and every player on every server draws from the same pool. The event bar shows what is left. A reading like 46/750 means the round is nearly empty.

The clock and the counter answer different questions, and mixing them up costs people the most attempts.

Event Panel Shows	What It Means	What To Do
Eclipse active, catches remaining	The round still has Kraken stock	Keep casting
Eclipse active, 0/750	This round’s pool is gone	Wait for the next :25 or :55
No Eclipse running	Ordinary fishing only	Finish your quest or farm pearls

Time remaining does not reserve a Kraken for you. The Eclipse can show several minutes left after the counter reaches zero, and you will still pull ordinary fish, which makes the session feel productive when the real prize is already gone.

Server hopping does not help either. Because the pool is global, a new server does not hand you a fresh 750. Staying ready for the next opening works better than chasing a reset that does not exist.

How Do You Catch the Nebuloth Kraken, Step by Step?

Do the prep between rounds so the first minute of an Eclipse goes to fishing, not to menus.

1. Finish the 20-fish quest early. Complete it between rounds, not during one.
2. Travel to the Lagoon. Talk to the Ferryman and choose Go to Lagoon.
3. Equip your rod and check the hotbar slot. If a new item replaces the rod in your hands, re-equip it before you cast.
4. Stand on the dock with a clear view of the water. Face the pond and hold to cast.

1. Release at the charge meter, then respond to the prompt. When Click Fast! appears, click repeatedly to fill the progress bar.
2. Read the reward popup, then cast again. Keep going while the Eclipse is active and the counter shows stock.

The pond holds a large creature, but you do not fight it. The Kraken route is fishing only.

What Are the Real Odds, and Can You AFK It?

Nobody has published a reliable catch rate for the Kraken. Neither the 750 stock nor a single lucky streamer’s first cast tells you a per-cast percentage, so ignore anyone quoting an exact number.

The luck label on the charge meter is feedback for your cast, not a Kraken drop rate. A Perfect! message can also appear without a Kraken reward, so wait for the reward popup instead of reading the message as a win.

AFK fishing does not guarantee a catch. Repeating the same input does nothing once the pool hits zero, and it can miss a changed prompt or a swapped rod. Being present at the opening gives you control over those avoidable gaps. Between rounds, you can use the downtime productively by farming Void Pearls and climbing the milestone track described in the fishing guide.

What Happens After You Catch the Kraken?

A successful catch shows Divine Nebuloth Kraken as the reward. Read the full name, since other Divine pets use the same rarity label.

The catch puts an egg in your inventory. Carry it to your base, place it in an open pen, and hatch it when its ready indicator appears. Do not assume your hatch timer matches anyone else’s.

You can attach a mutation to the egg before it hatches. The Dark Matter consumable, for example, reportedly lands 30% of the time, and a failed roll costs you the consumable rather than the egg. Whether it stacks cleanly on a Kraken egg has not been confirmed, so test with a spare consumable before you commit your best one.

The Kraken also has a use beyond income. The Alien Fusion Chamber, which opens after you collect the seven Relics for the Alien Gate, is reported to fuse two Divine pets, Obsidian Rex and Nebuloth Kraken, into an Alien Egg. Treat that recipe as patch-dependent until it is better documented.

Why Aren’t You Getting the Nebuloth Kraken?

Match what you see to the fix.

Problem	First Check	Next Step
No Lagoon option	Ferryman’s quest progress	Finish all 20 fish, then talk to him again
Cast does nothing	Rod equipped, line aimed at water	Re-equip the rod and adjust your position
Plenty of fish, no Kraken	Event counter	If it reads 0/750, wait for the next round
“Fish are too fast” message	Your Speed	Train toward 250B before returning
Kraken counter full but no drop	Your cast count	The chance is unpublished, so keep casting

Final Thoughts

The Nebuloth Kraken rewards preparation over luck. Unlock the Lagoon before the Eclipse, arrive a minute early, and watch the counter more closely than the clock. Because the exact odds, income, and fusion recipe are still being tested, check your in-game event panel and pet card for live numbers each time you play.

If you have not reached the biome yet, start with the Speed requirement, then come back with your rod ready for the next :25 or :55.
