Boss fight walkthrough
Fight the Albatross near the house and use the building as cover. A loud screech signals a diving attack, so move inside immediately. A quieter call signals an egg attack and gives you time to shoot from a protected position.
The Albatross fight begins after it is summoned. Keep the house nearby for cover.
If the Albatross circles behind the building, remain near cover and wait until you can see its next approach. Running into the open makes the diving attack more difficult to avoid.
When it dives, take cover under the bridge or walkway as well as inside the house
