For an instant supply of Hylea’s Talon in *Avowed*, visit 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 by breaking down unique weapons and armor at the workbench in your party camp.
Exploring
Much like finding Paradisan Ladder in Dawnshore, you can locate Hylea’s Talon in *Avowed* by exploring Emerald Stair. Look for it as plants, similar to the mini-map image provided. While exploring, keep an eye out for the same plant icon to find other upgrade materials. By actively engaging in the Emerald Stair missions and wandering around, you'll likely come across plenty of these valuable herbs.
Crafting & Downgrading

If you have an excess of Paradisan Ladder, you can craft one Hylea’s Talon using four units at your party camp workbench. Alternatively, if you possess Admeth’s Wyrt, you can downgrade it into Hylea’s Talon by selecting the "Downgrade" option next to "Upgrade Materials" at the workbench.
Breaking Down Items
For those upgraded items you no longer need, whether self-upgraded or purchased, you can break them down in your inventory menu to gain extra Hylea’s Talon. This method works only with "Exceptional" quality or higher weapons and armor. Always check the "Break Down" section of an item's description to see what materials you can obtain.
Now that you're equipped with the knowledge on how to easily gather Hylea’s Talon in *Avowed*, you can also explore other guides, such as finding the Painter’s Regret Map or checking out the complete list of achievements for the game.
