Missing Entries — How to Find Them
Check What's Missing
- Open Compendium in Purah Pad
- Browse each category — unphographed entries show as empty silhouettes
- Count the remaining silhouettes per category
Using Sensor+ to Find Missing Entries
- If you have the entry (even with a partial photo), Sensor+ can track it
- For completely missing entries: buy the photo from Robbie's database (if available) to enable Sensor+ tracking even without personally photographing
Robbie's Compendium Database
- Robbie (at the Depths research station) sells Compendium photos for Rupees
- If you missed a photo of a rare enemy, you can purchase its entry from Robbie
- This counts as having the entry and enables Sensor+ tracking
Rare & Easily Missed Entries
- Gloom Keese — only in specific Depths caves; very rare encounter
- Cursed Bokoblin/Moblin/Lizalfos — Depths exclusive; not encountered in normal surface play
- Deep Firefly — night + Depths cave combination
- All Gleeok types — only 1-2 of each type spawn in the world; photograph on first encounter
- Dragon Horn types — easy to forget during dragon farming; photograph before collecting
- Final Boss (Demon King) — photograph Ganondorf's beast form before dealing final blow
- Phantom Ganon — photograph during Gloom Hands aftermath encounter
- King Gleeok — found only in a few locations; hardest Gleeok type
Quick Tips
- Photograph first, loot second — always take a photo before picking up or defeating something. You can't re-photograph what's already been consumed or killed.
- Photograph every new enemy type immediately — you encounter most enemies organically. The only way to miss them is to kill before photographing.
- Dragon part farming = compendium progress — when farming dragon parts, you're already up close. Photograph each part type during the same visit.
- Buy from Robbie — if you're missing a rare entry, Robbie's database saves you from hunting a rare spawn. Worth the rupee cost for completionists.
- Equipment photos from chests — photograph weapons in chests before opening them. Once in inventory, you can photograph from the item menu, but chest photography is the habit to build.
