Problem is, Findie is incredibly annoying. The game doesn’t do a very good job of tutorialising how to use him, and on top of that there’s an audio glitch that causes him to spout his voice lines both more frequently than he should and even when the game is paused on a menu. It’s frustrating stuff, which is why we’ve put together this quick guide to help you get through Findie’s section of the mission as quickly as possible.

Here’s the bit I struggled with:once you reach the area you think Findie is pointing you towards, press the “R” key/summon icon again to release another Findie unit and confirm that you’re in the right spot.If you’re correct, Findie will do a quick sweep and an interactive spot will appear, allowing you to scoop up the parts you came to find.

Bear in mind that the distances between your starting point and the objects you need are actually quite small, so a red light doesn’t mean you need to run clear to the other side of the map — just keep dropping Findie units every few steps and you should track down your bounty pretty quickly.
