"Guide to Obtaining Hylea's Talon in Avowed"

Hylea’s Talon is one of the rarest and most essential upgrade materials in *Avowed*, crucial for building a strong character capable of tackling the game’s toughest challenges. Knowing where to find it efficiently can make all the difference in your progression. Below, we’ve compiled the best methods to collect Hylea’s Talon quickly and reliably—whether you're upgrading gear or preparing for endgame content.

How to Find Hylea’s Talon in Avowed

In *Avowed*, you can obtain Hylea’s Talon through several key methods:

• Purchasing from merchants like Lluisa Melcer and Abritt Porrya
• Discovering it while exploring the world
• Breaking down high-quality equipment
• Completing side quests
• Crafting with Paradisan Ladder
• Downgrading Admeth’s Wyrt

Let’s dive into each method to help you maximize your collection speed and efficiency.

Lluisa Melcer & Abritt Porrya – The Merchants

If you need Hylea’s Talon fast, visiting the merchants Lluisa Melcer and Abritt Porrya is your best bet. Lluisa can be found at the Farmer’s Market, and Abritt is located in Plaza Mez Vidarro, both early-access areas within Emerald Stair.

You can purchase up to 5 units of Hylea’s Talon from either merchant at a cost of 450 coins per unit. This is an excellent way to stock up when you’re on a time crunch or preparing for a major upgrade.

Additionally, some unique weapons and armor pieces available from these vendors can be broken down later at your party camp workbench to yield more Hylea’s Talon.

Exploring the World

Similar to how you’d gather Paradisan Ladder in Dawnshore, you can also find Hylea’s Talon by exploring various regions of *Avowed*, particularly in Emerald Stair. It appears as a plant icon on your minimap and can be collected directly from the environment.

While exploring, keep an eye out for the plant icon marker—you’ll often find multiple instances grouped together. As you progress through the campaign missions in Emerald Stair, take time to wander off the beaten path; you’ll likely uncover plenty of this valuable resource just waiting to be picked.

Crafting & Downgrading

If you have an excess of lower-tier materials, you can convert them into Hylea’s Talon at your party camp workbench. Specifically:

• Use **four units of Paradisan Ladder** to craft one unit of Hylea’s Talon
• Alternatively, select the **“Downgrade”** option under Upgrade Materials to convert **Admeth’s Wyrt** back into Hylea’s Talon

This flexibility allows you to manage your inventory effectively and avoid hoarding materials you don’t immediately need.

Break Down Equipment

Another reliable source of Hylea’s Talon is breaking down unwanted or outdated gear. Any weapon or armor piece rated “Exceptional” quality or higher can be dismantled in your inventory menu under the “Break Down” section.

Before discarding or selling off upgraded items, always check their breakdown yield—some may return Hylea’s Talon or other useful components that can aid in future upgrades.

Tips for Efficient Farming

To optimize your Hylea’s Talon farming:

• Visit merchants regularly to restock your supply
• Explore thoroughly during Emerald Stair missions
• Keep your inventory tidy by breaking down unused gear
• Stockpile Paradisan Ladder for crafting purposes
• Downgrade Admeth’s Wyrt when resources are low

By combining these strategies, you’ll never run short of Hylea’s Talon when gearing up for challenging encounters or late-game builds.
