Several methods exist for obtaining Hylea's Talon in *Avowed*. These include purchasing it from merchants, discovering it during exploration, crafting it, and breaking down existing equipment.
Merchants: Lluisa Melcer & Abritt Porrya
The quickest way to acquire Hylea's Talon is by visiting Lluisa Melcer at the Farmer's Market and Abritt Porrya in Piaza Mez Vidarro. These merchants, located in the early game Emerald Stair area, sell up to 5 units at 450 coins each. This provides an immediate and reliable source of the material.
Additionally, various unique weapons and armor can be broken down at your party camp's workbench, potentially yielding more Hylea's Talon.
Exploration
Similar to finding Paradisan Ladder in Dawnshore, Hylea's Talon can be discovered as a plant throughout Emerald Stair and other areas. The mini-map icon (shown above) will guide you. While exploring for this material, you'll also uncover other valuable herbs. Simply exploring during the Emerald Stair missions should yield a significant amount.
Crafting & Downgrading
If you have excess Paradisan Ladder, you can craft Hylea's Talon at your party camp workbench—four units of Paradisan Ladder create one Hylea's Talon. Alternatively, if you possess a surplus of Admeth's Wyrt, utilize the "Downgrade" option (located near "Upgrade Materials") to convert it into Hylea's Talon.
Breaking Down Items
Unwanted upgraded weapons and armor ("Exceptional" quality or higher) can be broken down in your inventory menu, potentially yielding Hylea's Talon. Check the "Break Down" section of an item's description to see the materials it provides.
With these methods, acquiring Hylea's Talon in *Avowed* becomes significantly easier. Now, go forth and upgrade your gear! For more helpful guides, check out our locations for the Painter's Regret Map or the complete list of achievements.
