Hylea's Talon is a crucial, rare upgrade material in Avowed, essential for crafting powerful equipment. This guide details several methods for obtaining this valuable resource.
Quickest Methods: Merchant Purchases
The most efficient way to acquire Hylea's Talon is by purchasing it from merchants. Lluisa Melcer (Farmer's Market) and Abritt Porrya (Piaza Mez Vidarro) in Emerald Stair each sell up to 5 Talons at 450 coins apiece.

Exploration and Foraging
Hylea's Talon can also be found throughout the world of Avowed, particularly in Emerald Stair. Look for the distinctive plant icon on your mini-map. While exploring, keep an eye out for these plants, similar to locating Paradisan Ladder. Completing missions in Emerald Stair will increase your chances of discovering them.
Crafting and Material Conversion
Alternatively, you can craft Hylea's Talon. At your party camp's workbench, four Paradisan Ladder can be combined to create one Hylea's Talon. Furthermore, you can downgrade Admeth's Wyrt into Hylea's Talon using the "Downgrade" option in the workbench's "Upgrade Materials" menu.

Deconstructing Equipment
High-quality equipment ("Exceptional" or better) can be broken down at your workbench to yield various materials, including Hylea's Talon. Check the "Break Down" section of an item's description to see what materials it will produce before dismantling it.
By utilizing these methods, you can consistently acquire Hylea's Talon, bolstering your character's capabilities in Avowed. Remember to explore thoroughly, utilize crafting, and deconstruct unwanted high-quality gear to maximize your yield.
