Island 4: Rocks

The Rocks is the smallest stage so far and its cramped layout removes the kiting game: bosses here are answered with firepower, not fancy sidesteps. The island chain runs boss-to-boss — the Tuna you catch becomes the bait for the Albatross, the game's only airborne fight.

All ten regular Rocks creatures — Bass, Eel, Red Snapper, Sengarat, Halibut, Tigerfish, Flying Fish, Voxel Fish, Parrotfish and Dripper — take the Professional Lure on the regular Fishing Rod.

Buy the Professional Lure for the regulars and the Professional Boss Lure for the Tuna. Upgrade your bullets before summoning anything — with no open ground, every failed engagement costs white patience bar, and bullet upgrades outperform movement here.

• Professional Lure stock (local store)
• Professional Boss Lure
• Upgraded bullets — the real boss-prep on this island

The bird keeps its distance in the air, which puts a shotgun out of range for most of the fight. Bring a sniper rifle or an Uzi and plan your shooting windows around its dive rain.

Catch and kill the Tuna with the Professional Boss Lure, then pick the corpse up and drop it on the ground — wait a few seconds and the Albatross dives down to engage. After the kill, hand the head to the Island 4 NPC: the next set of coordinates (military base + volcano route) only appears once the item is accepted, not when the health bar hits zero.

💡 Do not sell the Tuna corpse after completing the previous stage — that is the documented way to lock yourself out of the flying boss.
