Additionally, you can obtain more Hylea's Talon by dismantling unique weapons and armor at your party camp's workbench.

Exploring

By actively engaging in the Emerald Stair missions and exploring, you'll encounter ample opportunities to gather this upgrade material.

Crafting & Downgrading

If you have an excess of Paradisan Ladder, you can craft one Hylea's Talon at your party camp's workbench using four units. Alternatively, if you possess Admeth's Wyrt, you can convert this higher-level herb into Hylea's Talon through the "Downgrade" option next to "Upgrade Materials."

Breaking Down Items

For upgraded items you no longer need, breaking them down in your inventory menu can yield additional Hylea's Talon. This method applies to weapons and armor of "Exceptional" quality or higher, so always check the "Break Down" section of their item description to see what materials you can reclaim.

With these strategies, you're now equipped to efficiently gather Hylea's Talon in *Avowed*. For more on *Avowed*, explore where to find the Painter's Regret Map or check out the complete list of achievements for the game.
