        Confirmed to find one in:
        Forest Castle: Front - Start scanning straight after exiting the Access Point, heading in the direction of the castle, it's by the fallen castle structure.

        Forest Castle: Front - Enter the castle, go up the stairs then start scanning, it's by the chest on the floor below you.

        Pascal's Village - Head towards the City Ruins from the village, start scanning, it's just before the shortcut (Red structure with the box) into City Ruins.

        City Ruins: Near the Tower - Head over the bridge into the Commercial Facility, and scan once entering, it's by the waterfall.

        Park Ruins: Attraction Sq - Head towards the Amusement Park Shop robot that sells items then start scanning, it's by the black gate.

            You can find one near the seller in Park Ruins: Attraction Sq, go to near gate and it would be between it and truck.

              You can find one more at the resistance camp by scaner: after teleport come to Anemone, turn right and you will see a stretched fabric, under it there would be one.

                On the corrupted PC version don't waste your time farming the City Ruins: Near Factory on the 3rd floor building as nothing spawns except starting the game from the title screen. The gadget drops about once every 10 times at the Forest Zone: Royal Chamber cradle.

                  • the fast way to get them is in the real chamber where the baby king was living. u take the object and go out doing the same thing when u defeat a2 and teleport again to the real chamber and keep repeting the same process

                        Scanner location in the desert cave, go to Desert Camp, enter the desert, stick to the right wall, where you can drop down to the side entrances of the cave, take the upper entrance, keep following the path to the right, past a group of enemies when the camera moves back in standard position, in that hallway use the scanner. (just before an open dead end with a chest)
