"Guide to Acquiring Hylea's Talon in Avowed"

Hylea’s Talon is one of the rarest and most essential upgrade materials in *Avowed*, crucial for enhancing your gear to tackle the game's more challenging content. Knowing where and how to obtain it efficiently can make a huge difference in your progression. Below, we’ve compiled the best methods to get Hylea’s Talon quickly—whether you're grinding for upgrades or just starting out.

How To Find Hylea’s Talon in Avowed

In *Avowed*, you can acquire Hylea’s Talon through several reliable 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 it using Paradisan Ladder, or downgrading Admeth’s Wyrt.

Lluisa Melcer & Abritt Porrya – Trusted Merchants

One of the fastest ways to get Hylea’s Talon early in the game is by visiting the merchants Lluisa Melcer at the Farmer’s Market and Abritt Porrya located in Plaza Mez Vidarro. Both are found in the early sections of **Emerald Stair**, and each sells up to 5 units of Hylea’s Talon at a cost of 450 coins per unit. These merchants provide an instant supply when you’re in a rush to upgrade your gear.

Additionally, some unique weapons and armor pieces can be broken down at your party camp workbench to yield extra Hylea’s Talon, making merchant purchases even more valuable in the long run.

Exploration – Gather From the Wild

Just like Paradisan Ladder in Dawnshore, Hylea’s Talon can also be found growing naturally in **Emerald Stair**. Look for the plant icon on your minimap and interact with the corresponding flora to collect it. As you progress through Emerald Stair missions, keep an eye out for these plants—they tend to appear frequently in clusters, allowing you to stock up without backtracking.

Crafting and Downgrading Materials

If you have surplus Paradisan Ladder, you can craft one unit of Hylea’s Talon using four units at your workbench. Alternatively, if you possess excess Admeth’s Wyrt, simply head to the “Downgrade” tab under the “Upgrade Materials” section to convert it into Hylea’s Talon.

Break Down Unused Gear

Don’t forget that upgraded gear you never use—especially items of **Exceptional quality or higher**—can be broken down to recover valuable materials like Hylea’s Talon. Check the “Break Down” section in the item description to see what resources you’ll receive before dismantling.
