Albino.tarkaa

The Albino Tarkaa is a rare variant of the regular Tarkaa except it is white and translucent.

It is an elusive creature hidden throughout EDN III only available to be hunted about midway through the Lost Planet 3 campaign when you’ve reached the Camp of Forgotten and helped their various errands. Each Tarkaa’s location is ‘hinted at’ thanks to vague riddles, but to help you out, even more, you’ve gifted a tracker that alerts you of their placement in the vicinity. Scan all 10 of them with your DNA-pistol attachment and your fellow etymologist will offer upgrades in exchange. If you shoot them, they scamper off and you’ll need to leave the area and try again.

Locations[]

# Hint Location Description
1 “An elevator reaches for a stormy sky – at its foot, look high.” Coronis
1
Just outside the main hangar of Coronis, to the left, is a winch-accessible zipline that leads to an embankment with a few T-Eng canisters encased in ice
2 “Seething Akrid cave with stalactite teeth-skyward is she found.” Marshall’s Gorge
2
Fire across the ice stalagmites and into the abandoned facility; as the scanner finishes, head inside and look up and scan your second Albino Tarkaa and hop back in your Rig.
3 “An elevator reaches for a stormy sky – at its foot, look high.” White Canyon Junction: Diaz Cavern
3
It’s in Diaz Cavern which is an offshoot from White Canyon Junction. When you enter the cavern, you’ll likely see some other Akrid. Worry not, you can shoot and kill them and the Tarkaa will still stick around unless you hit it. Its tail will be likely all you see, so aim true, and be patient.
4 “T-ENG tank near our forgotten home – go below to find her above.” The Killing Fields
4
You’ll need the magnetic hook attachment before you can reach this Tarkaa. Don’t worry though, it comes soon after your hunt begins. As your rig builds a zip-line to the cave outside of The Killing Fields left of the entrance of the Camp of Forgotten. Once inside the cave, use you hook to head up and then down a few levels to find the Tarkaa resting on a ledge.
5 “Dark hidden belly – she bides her time within the war machines and arms” Pickett’s Folly: Security Installation
5
Head to Pickett’s Folly and recently explored Security Installation to find this little guy. Once you’re in the small shelved room, head to the back (across from an audio log) and find the red glowing area and scan.
6 “Frozen fields of white amidst pumping iron beasts – she hides in its warmth.” Bailey’s Crossing
6
Head up to the shack on the hill with your magnetic hook. Fall into the crevice and head off to the right and find your sixth Tarkaa just waiting for your glowing scan.
7 “Pristine plain scarred by a fallen cask – look within her dead broken earth.” Bishop’s Wake
7
Head to Bishop’s Wake, when you spawn there, head south, look for the small little offshoot of land, hop out of your rig, and scan.
8 “A tower top in magma seas – testament to a soldier’s folly.” Picket’s Folly
8
Head back to Picket’s Folly, close to the area you explored when you initially got here, and once you reach the area with the Akrid spawning beast, turn around, hit the zip-line, and then do another 180 and find your target atop the tower.
9 “She hides within the den of hunters – near a carriage to the sky.” Shackleton’s Peak
9
Shackleton’s Peak is your destination here. Back to where your journey to the (then unknown) Camp of Forgotten. When you dock your Rig and head to the shack, enter the cave with the Stalkers and dispose of them. Once they’re dealt with, grapple to the ledge on the left and look for a cave with your target.
10 “Stalkers lurk in a dead courtyard – look down upon trunks, crates and boxes.” Marshall’s Gorge: Power Plant
10
When you reach the storage room filled with decrepit crates and ruins, head up to the third level and for the broken bridge/platform in the middle of the room. It will scamper back and forth, offering little in body visibility to get a quick clean shot, so be patient.
