After defeating the three monsters and obtaining their trophies, you must collect additional materials. Note that these materials are of Alpha type, which means you can collect them by defeating the stronger Alpha variants of these creatures.

Here's a list of the additional items you must collect:

Alpha Raptor Claw
Alpha Carnotaurus Arm
Alpha Tyrannosaur Tooth
Alpha Megalodon Fin
Alpha Mosasaur Tooth
Alpha Tusoteuthis Eye
Alpha Leedsichthys Blubber

Once you gather all the materials, head to the Tek Cave in the central volcano to summon and defeat the Overseer.

It is important to note that the battle with Overseer is a tough fight. You will need to bring your most powerful long-range weapons, along with several healing items. The boss also uses special techniques that can only be dodged by hiding behind pillars.

After defeating the Overseer, you will receive an engram that contains the Tek Binoculars Tekgram.
