  • Using Elemental Sight on mobile

The feature is very simple to use on mobile: you need to touch the Eye button located on the right of the minimap (on the top-left corner of the screen).

  • Using Elemental Sight on PC

You can also activate it by clicking on that button. But you have to maintain the Alt button to make it appear on the screen and be able to click it. Some players also have a shortkey enabled by default: the middle button of the mouse.

  • Using Elemental Sight on PlayStation 4/5

The feature is a bit more complex to use on those devices. The player has to press L1 to summon the shortcut wheel, and then press the D-pad or Square to activate it.
