There’s a surefire trick to finding shrines based on the depth map in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, but if you’d rather do it the old-school way, here’s how to unlock the shrine finder.
How to get the shrine detector?
With over 150 shrines to find across 3 map levels, this detector is clearly not going to be too much. To unlock it, you will need to have met certain conditions and completed what the game considers an appetizer.
Quests to complete

When you reach him, he will give you the detector directly and offer to test it live: There is a hidden shrine just under the building, a real treat!
Faras’ Quests
Once the tutorial is complete, Faras will tell you that your tablet is still missing many features, and to get them all, you’ll have to travel the world. : take pictures of animals, complete sanctuaries, or even find the reconnaissance towers throughout the kingdom… You will have understood, This is a new thread of secondary quests, which you will complete little by little by exploring the world.
