Is Kralkatorrik Dead?
If anything it’s due to Mordremoth dying. And even Zhaitan.
Magic has poured forth into Tyria and all the dragons I assume will be absorbing it.
Or Kralk is alive and well, and is buffing his champions with the knowledge that TWO dragons are dead now.
I do not remember the source but it has been stated that magic is never destroyed. When a dragon is destroyed their magic pours out into the world and the strong try to consume as much. Kind of like a sudden all you can eat buffet for a limited time.
The Wrecking Krewe[NYE] – [Maguuma] Arum Bloodclaw
We actually don’t know why Tequatl got a power boost. Players speculate that it’s due to Zhaitan’s death, but ultimately we don’t know – we just know that Tequatl getting a power boost is not only mechanics but also lore. We, however, do not know if The Shatterer’s rework will be part of lore.
So I wonder if the damage Destiny’s Edge done to Kralkatorrik was actually fatal or another Dragon saw him in his weakened state had killed him.
Actually, Destiny’s Edge pretty much did no damage to Kralkatorrik. It’s a bit of a misconception due to those who read the book saying that they almost killed Kralkatorrik and it fled, and those who didn’t read the book taking this to mean they did a lot of damage to him.
Truth is, while Glint and Eir did manage to hit him, all that damage was like scrapes.
Destiny’s Edge’s battle plan was to have Snaff mentally pin Kralkatorrik down so that Rytlock can one-shot kill Kralkatorrik. To lure Kralkatorrik, Eir shot exploding arrows at it; to allow Snaff access to Kralkatorrik’s mind, she wrestled Kralk to put a yoke on his head; to pin him down Snaff basically made Kralk’s muscles free causing it to crash to the ground, and Rytlock’s attempt at a one-shot kill missed entirely.
So all the damage that was done to Kralkatorrik would be no worse than a household cat batting at you with claws a few times then you tripping and landing while on a sandy beach.
Which is not much harm at all.
If the Shatterer’s power boost is related to the story, there’s two explanations:
1) Kralkatorrik absorbed Mordremoth and/or Zhaitan’s released magic and transferred it to his (currently) strongest champions to make them stronger (remember that each Shatterer fought is in lore different – they’re killed each time at the end of the fight).
2) Kralkatorrik found a different magical buffet unrelated to the release of magic from Mordremoth and Zhaitan – the Crystal Desert is known for being a very magical place, after all.
Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

From LS The Dragon’s Reach, Part 2:
" Everyone has gathered at the Grove, including Trahearne and Caithe. Trahearne briefly mentions that Kralkatorrik was going to be the next dragon assaulted before Mordremoth arose."
