How to Unlock the Shrine Sensor in Tears of the Kingdom

To unlock the Shrine Sensor in Tears of the Kingdom, you must fix Robbie’s hot air balloon using the auto-build ability. Once the balloon is repaired, head to the lab to receive the Shrine Sensor. By keeping it active, the Sensor will alert you to the presence of Shrines of Light nearby. It also provides a vertical indicator, helping you locate shrines on different terrain layers.

To access the Travel Medallion in Tears of the Kingdom, help Robbie with a problem at Akkala’s Laboratory, not Hatelia’s. First, defeat the Yiga clan members who have captured Robbie to obtain the Yiga clan robe. Next, find a chest containing the Travel Medallion prototype in the same area. Return it to Hatelia with Robbie, who will upgrade the Tablet.

How to Complete Presenting: Sensor +

The Sensor + is a valuable feature for completionists and seasoned adventurers. It allows players to gather more information about photographed objects, such as an enemy or ore, and search for them. Add references of 5 types of monsters to the Hylian Compendium using the Camera to activate the Sensor. Additionally, Robbie now sells photos of missing entries, making it easier to complete the compendium sections.
