If its 5e, he can hold his breath for 1min + a number of minutes qual to the constitution modifier, which should be at least +2. That 30 rounds, with a lv 2 heat metal that's 60d8 or a 270hp average, with a lv 9 heat metal that's 270d8 or 1215 average. Water breathing spell is also super easy to get though one could say the inside of the kraken isn't exactly water.
Or he's just one of the dozens of races that can just decide to not beathe...
Well yeah but kinda hard to swap if you aren't already one of those races.
Necklace of Adaptation lets you breathe normally in any environment. There's an Air Bubble spell in Astral Adventurer's Guide you could use instead of Water Breathing as well.
Very interesting! Though both are significantly harder to obtain than water breathing ofc
Also, tiny little detail I forgot to mention: heat metal is only 1min duration haha
Harder than Water Breathing, but the necklace should be easier to get than the armor or ring mentioned in the original meme
oh yeah, not even sure those exist, its a 'combo' that requires a lot of pieces

That's why the post says "ring of acid immunity" ;)
That comment is about Water Breathing. Technically the inside of the Kraken wouldn't be water so the spell wouldn't work.
