Exploration and Foraging
Similar to Paradisan Ladder, Hylea's Talon can be found as a plant throughout Emerald Stair and other areas. Look for the distinctive plant icon on your mini-map. While exploring for main and side quests, keep an eye out for these valuable herbs.
Crafting and Material Conversion

Two alternative methods involve crafting and material conversion:
- Crafting: Four Paradisan Ladders can be combined at your party camp workbench to create one Hylea's Talon.
- Downgrading: If you possess excess Admeth's Wyrt, utilize the "Downgrade" function (located near "Upgrade Materials") to convert it into Hylea's Talon.
Deconstructing Equipment
High-quality ("Exceptional" or better) weapons and armor can be broken down at your workbench. Check the item description's "Break Down" section to see if they yield Hylea's Talon. This is a useful method for unwanted upgraded gear.
By employing these strategies, you'll consistently acquire the Hylea's Talon necessary for upgrading your equipment and conquering Avowed's challenges. Avowed is currently available on PC and Xbox.
