You just have to get close enough to that place, if you do message saying you placed the scanner will pop up.

Thank you for posting this. I know I can always depend on you.

What puzzled me was that I seemed to get notification that I’d placed the first scanner, but not others. I’d probably attempted the “high tree” one eight times before I realised that I’d already been credited with it..
Think Independently
You only get notification if you complete a tier of the achievement. To deal with this, put this on your watch list and note when the percentage complete advances to indicate whether or not you got credit for each individual scanner.

yea, thats a good solution,\ but in my opinion, achievements like these should always give a visual trigger, or maybe even just a 0 AP tier

The 9th scanner need some more description I think. It’s rather hard to find. You need to drop down into some sort of crevices but not drop all the way down.

For #4 (high tree) you can use the oakheart vines to get up to it – it just takes a second vine when gliding to get it.\ Who are “Tennon and Tinderbough”? I found the place to put the scanner, but that clue makes no sense. I don’t see anyone by those names.

Not possible.
