How to unlock the Master Huntsman achievement in Lost Planet 3 - Definitive Guide
ALBINO TARKAAS' LOCATIONS:
This will require you to buy all upgrades from the Ethologist by DNA tagging all 10 Albino Tarkaas. After getting this optional mission (he's located in the Camp Of the Forgotten) the Tarkaas will spawn where they’re supposed to (they will not be in their spots before activating the mission). He’ll provide you with a mating call to your wrist computer that constantly plays (you can’t hear it). This will cause the little Tarkaas to make noise when you’re close and keep them in place giving you unlimited time to tag the little guy. If you happen to accidently shoot the Tarkaa instead of tagging it with your Specialty Pistol Ammo, he’ll die/run away. You can just reload the map and he’ll respawn.
Ethologist Upgrades:
- Technique – Luckshot (Costs 2) Aiming reticule while blindfiring from cover
- Technique – Quick Fingers (Costs 3) Improves weapon reload speed by 25%
- Thermalized Suit (Costs 5) Improves health regeneration by 100%
Albino Locations:
- “Cross a flying fox to her perilous home near a groaning ravine.” (Coronis, Exit the hangar doors head left/West, go down the path and you'll see a big metal door/wall, stand next to it and look up the mountainside northwest) (If you’re having trouble use the winch to zip-line right above that metal door/wall, look back up and see if you can spot it)
- “An elevator reaches for a stormy sky – at its foot, look high.” (Marshall’s Gorge, use the winch to reach southeast ledge, drop down, enter the open garage, go past second door and look right up a rocky wall)
- “Seething Akrid cave with stalactite teeth – skyward is she found.” (White Canyon Junction – Diaz Cavern, enter cave southeast side of White Canyon Junction, clear out any enemies, in the open area look east where a Genessa was/is and look high up to find the Tarkaa)
- “T-ENG tank near our Forgotten home – go below to find her above.” (The Killing Fields, use winch to enter northeast cave, use magnetic grappling hook, drop off north side and go up stairs to the left, look up left)
- “Dark hidden belly – she bides her time within the war machines and arms.” (Pickett’s Folly – Security Installation, in the armory with the multiple turrets, go to the back of the room where you’ll find a grate on the upper side of the wall, shoot it out and you’ll see the Tarkaa)
- “Frozen fields of the amidst pumping iron beasts – she hides in its warmth.” (Bailey’s Crossing, where the metal structure is, use magnetic grappling hook, fall/grapple down the hole and exit east to see the Tarkaa on a jack/wall)
- “Pristine plain scarred by a fallen cask – look within her dead broken earth.” (Bishops Wake, Southeast ,look for opening in the rock, grapple down, head west and you’ll find the Tarkaa on a wall)
- “A tower top in magma seas – testament to a soldier’s folly.” Picket’s Folly, use winch and zip-line across, move ahead and zip-line across once more, turn around and the Tarkaa is hiding on top of the tower)
- “Stalkers lurk in a dead courtyard – look down upon trunks, crates and boxes.” (Marshall’s Gorge – Power Station, go into the garage south, enter Power Plant, grapple up to the next floor, run to the far left wall and look over the railing, you’ll see the Tarkaa on top of some debris)
- “She hides within the den of the hunters – near a carriage to the sky.” (Shackleton’s Peak, dock your rig at the tram, pass the first station, enter the cave and grapple up the ledge on the left, turn to the east look up the far wall where you’ll see an opening, you’ll see the Tarkaa on the right side)

The ethologist upgrades are obtained by tagging all 10 Albino Tarkaa's with the DNA pistol tagger bullets provided to you by Dr Roman early on in the main missions. The Albino Tarkaa is another type of collectable to be found in this game. When you enter the Camp of the Forgotten through the front gate from the Killing Fields, turn left and then you will go up a staircase. When you get to the top carry on down through a passageway and pass through a blue curtain which flaps over the doorway. You will meet the ethologist here who will provide you with an upgrade that allows you to pick up on the high frequency mating calls of the Albino Tarkaa. This will signify that you are now able to go and get this trophy.
Use the DNA tagger bullets for the pistol to shoot the Albino Tarkaa's. Wait for the green circle to fill up around the DNA double helix symbol by retaining your reticle over the creature and you will receive a prompt in the top left hand corner of your screen saying that you have collected the DNA. Once you have done this for all 10, return to the ethologist where you will then be able to access the upgrades on offer in the same room. Notice that you can now buy all 4 whereas you previously could not. Once all 4 have been purchased and you exit the upgrade screen the trophy will pop.
