Return Pufferfish's fin and follow the red Radar marker.

If the marker is missing, return to Desert Islandand verify its named boss result was handed to the correct quest giver.

Rocks Island walkthrough

  1. Farm the Professional pool and finish any weapon purchases before spending on the boss lure.
  2. Buy the $1,200 Professional Boss Lure, land Tuna and defeat it.
  3. Keep the Tuna body intact and place it on open ground to attract Albatross.
  4. Defeat Albatross, collect its head and return it to the frightened islander for Volcano coordinates.

Stage tips

  • Never cook, sell or gamble the Tuna needed for the story trigger.
  • A precision firearm makes the flying Albatross safer than chasing it with short-range damage.
  • Treat roulette and slot machines as optional cleanup; they can consume route money quickly.
