This guide separates the route item from the combat plan so you can prepare before spending a lure, placing a body or consuming a unique quest trigger.

How to trigger Albatross

Defeated Tuna placed on the ground.

Reach Rocks Island by following the five-island story route. Return Pufferfish's fin and follow the red Radar marker.

Preparation checklist

  1. Defeat Tuna and preserve its body.
  2. Equip a Sniper Rifle, Assault Rifle or another weapon that tracks distant targets.
  3. Place the bait away from cliffs and clutter that can hide the quest drop.

Fight tactics

  1. Lead the flight path rather than firing directly at its current position.
  2. Use the open passes for damage and reposition while it circles.
  3. Collect the head as soon as it lands.
Common pitfall

Trigger the bird on open ground. Cliffs and clutter make both the flying target and its route-critical head harder to recover.

Reward and what to do next

Albatross head; return it for Volcano Island coordinates.

Put trophies and physical trigger bodies into a deliberate safe place before shopping or sailing. Patch 1.0.10 improves ground-item persistence, but inventory remains the safest place for portable quest results.
