Known route coverage: Patch 1.0.10. These guides organise the site’s reviewed game facts; they do not claim a fresh playthrough of every later patch. Follow your current quest dialogue if a requirement differs.

Budget for a linked pair of fights

Rocks follows the Pufferfish fin exchange and the red Radar marker. Its story setup uses the Professional Boss Lure, listed at 1,200 coins in the reviewed route. That purchase starts the chain; it does not replace the ammunition and healing needed to finish it.

Use the Professional fishing pool to fund essential equipment first. Leave optional gambling or collection attempts until your route supplies are covered. An accurate ranged weapon is useful for the airborne target that follows the first catch.

Treat Tuna as an encounter item

Land Tuna with the Professional Boss Lure and defeat it. Choose a clear place to keep the resulting body, away from shops, cooking stations and edges where a loose object could be difficult to recover.

The body is needed to attract Albatross. Keep it intact and restock before placing it to begin the next encounter. In a group, make this dependency explicit: selling a large catch for quick cash can remove the trigger the whole crew needs.

Buy essential supplies before spending the story lure money.
Keep track of Tuna throughout the fight and after it ends.
Prepare for Albatross before placing the body.

The head completes the island

Fight Albatross with clear sightlines and enough room to reposition while it circles. A position that keeps both the bird and the ground below it visible also makes the eventual drop easier to find.

Pick up the Albatross head and bring it to the frightened islander. Check for the pink Volcano marker after the exchange. A defeated Tuna, a defeated Albatross and a completed hand-in are three distinct states; confirm the last one before packing for the final island.
