    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.

      Sounds like somebody just started a quest for some items!

        How long can your knight hold its breath and how much fire damage are you doing per round? I think you may run out of air first. Definitely an interesting idea if it’s already hurt.

        5E characters can actually hold their breath for a silly amount of time, there's a solid chance here. Assuming the knight has a +4 Con mod, they've got 5 minutes or 50 rounds before they suffocate. Heat metal averages 7 damage per round without upcasting, so you can expect around 350 damage before you pass out. A kraken has 150 hp on average, so it's done for Amusingly, the rules do not technically specify a condition for the kraken to _voluntarily_ regurgitate something, only for it to do so when triggered by taking a lot of damage in one go. Obviously no sensible GM is going to say that it can't do that, but by the most miserable RAW-only approach this plan actually seems to work

          Well yeah but kinda hard to swap if you aren't already one of those races.

            Now imagining a Kraken desperately trying to throw-up an Eldritch Knight while the Knight is trying as hard as possible to stay inside the Kraken.

                lol I’m used used to pf2e and pf1e were drowning kills, a lot. Also that’s hilarious that it actually works. 5e is such a good time.

                  I feel like an opposed strength check would be the easiest way to settle that

                      What if the kraken has a giant beak and decides your knight is more like a crunchy hot cinnamon candy?

                        That comment is about Water Breathing. Technically the inside of the Kraken wouldn't be water so the spell wouldn't work.

                          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.

                              Harder than Water Breathing, but the necklace should be easier to get than the armor or ring mentioned in the original meme

                                Then spits them out when they fail a concentration save and the flavor goes away

                                        If the throat of a Kraken is anything like a shark you'll be taking A (dm specified) LOT of bludgeoning damage each turn. Good luck on those concentration saving throws.
