Several methods exist for acquiring Hylea's Talon in *Avowed*: purchasing it from merchants, discovering it during exploration, crafting it, and breaking down equipment.
The Merchant Method: A Quick and Easy Solution

The fastest way to obtain Hylea's Talon is by visiting Lluisa Melcer in the Farmer's Market and Abritt Porrya in Piaza Mez Vidarro. Located in the early Emerald Stair areas, these merchants sell up to 5 units each for 450 coins apiece. This provides a reliable, immediate source of the material.
Additionally, explore unique weapons and armor; breaking these down at your party camp's workbench can yield additional Hylea's Talon.
Exploration: Unearthing Nature's Bounty
Similar to finding Paradisan Ladder in Dawnshore, Hylea's Talon can be discovered as a plant throughout Emerald Stair. Look for the plant icon on your mini-map (refer to the image above). While other plants share a similar icon, a diligent search will uncover numerous Hylea's Talon plants, particularly while progressing through the main Emerald Stair missions.
Crafting and Downgrading: Resourceful Approaches

If you've accumulated a surplus of Paradisan Ladder, you can craft one Hylea's Talon using four units at your party camp workbench. Alternatively, if you possess an abundance of Admeth's Wyrt, utilize the "Downgrade" option (located next to "Upgrade Materials") to convert this higher-tier herb into Hylea's Talon.
Breaking Down Items: Recycling for Rewards
Unwanted upgraded weapons and armor (Exceptional quality or higher) can be broken down in your inventory menu to obtain Hylea's Talon. Check the "Break Down" section of an item's description to see what materials it yields before dismantling.
Now equipped with these methods, you'll be well-prepared to acquire the Hylea's Talon you need. For further *Avowed* guidance, explore our guides on the Painter's Regret Map and the complete list of achievements.
