Yeah your party will get blasted by a couple of AoE's at the beginning of phase 2 and there's not much you can do about that aside from surviving it. Do your best to keep your party in top shape, buff them up and whatnot, just before going into phase 2. This should be able to help you survive the beginning of phase 2. If it doesn't, it probably means you're not beefy enough. Try to be at least level 20 and upgrade your gear to about the same level. The idea is to get through phase 1 only taking minimal damage - or none at all. Also helps if everyone in your party has a teleport-type ability ready when phase 2 begins so they can get out of the frying pan easily.
A really neat tactic albeit a bit cheesy to me is spamming Charm using Dominate Mind, Charming Arrows, Love Grenades. It won't stop the Kraken from throwing AoE's at your team when phase 2 begins though.
