Explore Every Part of Each Site

check each unknown area to complete a site

Along with finding collectibles and clearing stages, you must also explore every inch of each site to fill out the map. Since there are certain parts of each map that cannot be easily reached, we recommend inking every part of the stage to compensate.

The Shel-Drone isn’t coming. I have Surveyed all the sites and I have obtained all the map stickers from Agent 2. How do I actually get it though?
