This is a quite small island, so unlike for others islands, I wont leave many comments here, just the picture of the style and flower location in the order you should (probably) find them. Additionally, no pictures about book table locations for this island:

First Style

Second Style

Third Style

Fourth Style

Fifth Style

Flower:
You need to cross a gap on the wall as a bridge isnt lowered. You could go down at the middle of the gap and so you could eventually reach this flower.

Sixth Style

Seventh Style

Eight Style

Ninth Style

Style 1:
At the very beginning of the area, in some kind of pre-area where you need to open a gate first for your ship.

Style 2:
Still in the same pre-area.

Style 3 and 4:
These are at the very same area, when you facing one of them, then the other should be behind you.

Book 1:
When you see the orb(seed) just ignore it first, go to the behind of the building there you can climb down to a platform where you can find the first book.

Style 5:
After using an elevator you can find the next style.

Style 6 and book 2:
Once you will get to a gap and you see a tower in the distance, then turn left to see the style. After jumping through the gap turn left again to see the table with the book.

Style 7:

Book 3:
While progressing there will be stairs to your right, leading to an elevator. If you go straight instead, then you will get to a climbable wall and with the book table on the top of it.

Style 8:

Style 9 and book 4:
Once you got the seed again you will see an elevator. Instead using it look around, there is a small area with the last style and book collectibles for this area.

Flower:
Use the previously mentioned elevator but don't use the seed/ball. Just drop it, go to the other side of the roof and climb down to the flower, which was visible already previously (this picture was taken from there)

Steam says I can't give a Thumbs Up because I don't own this game on Steam. BUT, I do own it on Xbox. And I used this guide to mop up collectables and such. So, a BIG THANKS to you.

Thank you very much for the rare animal locations! Kraken and Giant Squid were a serious problem, for me. 😅 Conc.
Hex:cuse Me Bitch 8 Feb, 2024 @ 6:38pm 
ty it's very helpful , the Giant Squid was pain in the ass
Diunizel 1 Jan, 2024 @ 9:34am 
The Beluga is a yellow and travelling between the yellow and lightbleu zones

Thanks for the animals.
Tostiman Ultimate 26 Jul, 2023 @ 11:17am 
in O'Higgins village Condominiums you have style 8 and book 3 placed in the wrong order, you can't (without a huge detour) collect book 3 before style 8

Thanks for the guide!

For those having trouble with the giant squid: Go to one of the areas marked as the path for it and just sit and wait. You will never see the squid above the water so it helps to be looking down a bit. You will eventually notice a group of what looks like golden strings of light slowly moving. That is the squid. It helps to do this at night so the lights show up better. Good luck!

Thanks @Csontzuzo for the detailed guide and thanks @Platinum__PT (and others) for mentioning that the giant squid stays submerged. I camped between the two bridge ruins and spammed E - and even when I finally unlocked it, I didn't see where/what it was.
Rui 25 Jun, 2023 @ 8:46am 
Thank you for the guide, particularly for the rare creatures path; they're pretty much easy to find, the giant squid gave me a little more trouble; for this one I found it easier to search for it during night time, since it glows a bit underwater, and it doesn't actually come to surface like the other ones. Cheers

Great guide! Just have 2 suggestions to update/add:
1) It may be helpful to add that the squid does not break the surface of the water (I was looking forever, and accidentally sailed over it).
2) For the rare animals, the path direction is not set: I found both the Beluga and the Orca travelling opposite of your arrows, but the Giant Squid and Shark were travelling as you indicated.
Really appreciate your work!
