How To Find Hylea’s Talon in Avowed

In *Avowed*, securing Hylea’s Talon can be achieved through various means such as visiting merchants Lluisa Melcer and Abritt Porrya, exploring both the wilderness and cities, dismantling equipment, completing side quests, crafting with Paradisan Ladder, and downgrading Admeth’s Wyrt.

Lluisa Melcer & Abritt Porrya the Merchants

For the quickest and most straightforward way to obtain Hylea’s Talon in *Avowed*, head to Lluisa Melcer at the Farmer’s Market and Abritt Porrya in Plaza Mez Vidarro. These merchants, located in the early sections of Emerald Stair, offer up to 5 units of Hylea’s Talon for 450 coins each. Additionally, you can acquire more Hylea’s Talon by breaking down unique weapons and armor at the workbench in your party camp.

Exploring

Similar to finding Paradisan Ladder in Dawnshore, you can discover Hylea’s Talon in *Avowed* by exploring Emerald Stair and identifying it as plants, as shown in the mini-map image. Keep an eye out for the plant logo on your map, as these areas are rich with the herb. Actively engaging in the Emerald Stair missions and wandering around will ensure you come across plenty of these valuable upgrade materials.

Crafting & Downgrading

If you have an abundance of Paradisan Ladder, you can craft one Hylea’s Talon at your party camp workbench using four units of Paradisan Ladder. Alternatively, if you possess surplus Admeth’s Wyrt, you can convert it into Hylea’s Talon by selecting the “Downgrade” option next to “Upgrade Materials” at the workbench.

Breaking Down Items

To obtain additional Hylea’s Talon, you can break down upgraded items you no longer need, whether they were upgraded by you or purchased from a shop. This method is applicable only to "Exceptional" quality weapons and armor or higher. Be sure to check the "Break Down" section in the item's description to see what materials you can recover.

Now that you're equipped with the knowledge to easily acquire Hylea’s Talon in *Avowed*, you can further explore the game by finding the Painter’s Regret Map or reviewing the complete list of achievements.
