* Equip it as a "Tool."
3. Use the Dowsing Machine:
* While holding the Dowsing Machine, walk around the map.
* The machine will make a "ping" sound when you're near a hidden item.
* The closer you get to the item, the more frequent the pings will be.
* Pay attention to the direction of the pings to help you locate the item.
4. Find the Hidden Item:
* Once you're close enough, the item will appear on the screen.
* Interact with it to pick it up.
Note:
