The Last Ancient Machine
Adventure Overview
Robbie's research at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab has uncovered evidence of one last functioning Guardian unit that survived the Calamity hidden deep in the Akkala Highlands.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Receive Robbie's Research Assignment
Robbie at the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab shares his extraordinary discovery — sensor readings indicate an active Guardian unit in the Akkala Highlands, running on ancient power cells that have somehow remained charged for 100 years.
2
Track the Signal
Use the Sensor+ app with Robbie's provided target profile to track the Guardian signal through the Akkala Highlands. The signal fades in and out — the Guardian is mobile.
3
Find the Ancient Guardian
The Guardian is discovered in a remote Akkala valley, its ancient legs stuck in a mudslide but still functional. It displays no hostile behavior — its protective subroutine recognizes Link as a champion.
4
Photograph and Document
Robbie needs extensive documentation. Photograph the Guardian from all six angles with the Camera and collect a sample from its power cell housing using Ultrahand.
5
Assist with Extraction
Help free the Guardian from the mud using Ultrahand to remove the debris. It walks slowly back toward the lab on its own. Robbie meets it at the lab entrance for the final documentation.
