Where to Get Dragon Claws
Naydra, Dinraal, and Farosh
To farm Dragon Claws, you’ll need toshoot an arrow at the dragon’s hand. When you’re near a dragon, there will be anupdraft that will launch you into the air if you’re using the paraglider. If you have theVow of Tulin, you can use it toget closer to the dragon’s hand. If you’rerunning out of stamina, quicklyclose and open the paraglider (X-button) while you’re in an updraft. This will restore your stamina wheel to full.
UnlikeBreath of the Wild, the dragons' flight paths inTears of the Kingdomareset to real time. Meaning you won’t find Farosh in the Faron Region at night, Naydra won’t descend from Mount Lanayru during the morning, etc. Instead, you’ll want toknow the flight paths of each dragons and wait for them to fly by. Dinraal, Naydra, and Farosh allfly above the Surface and into the Depths.
Naydra’s Flight Path
Naydra will dropNaydra’s Claw, which you’ll need for the Spring of Wisdom. She flies into theEast Hills Chasm, which you can find in Kakariko Village. If you’re hoping to catch her asshe emerges from The Depths, then you’ll want to go to theNaydra Snowfield Chasm. The closest fast-travel points are the Zakusu Shrine and the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower.
Naydra can freeze youif you’re struck by the ice that emits from her body. To avoid this, wear armor thatprevents Freeze. Zant’s Helmet has this ability as does a level 2Snowquill Set.
East Hill (enters Depths):
Dinraal’s Flight Path
Dinraal can be found northeast of Hyrule. Dinraal enters the Drenan Highlands Chasm and will follow a path that leads to the East Akkala Plains Chasm. From here, she’ll emerge from The Depths to fly above The Surface of Hyrule.
Like Naydra, Dinraal can unintentionallyharm Link if he’s not careful. She can scorch Link with the fire radiating from her body, but if Link istoo close to her, he’ll catch ablaze. You’ll needflame-resistant armor or Flame Elixirsto combat this. you may get flame-resistant armor fromGoron City. You’ll also want to avoidequipping wooden weapons, shields, or bows.
East Akkala Plains (exits Depths):
Farosh’s Flight Path
Farosh will roam the skies above the western Faron and eastern Gerudo regions. She emerges from the Depths at theEast Gerudo Chasm; she enters The Depths from theHills of Baumer Chasm.
Farosh brings stormclouds with her wherever she goes, and if you’rewearing metal, you’ll bring the lightning right to you. You’ll also want to avoid theelectricitythat floats up from her body. If Linkdoesn’t have shock resistance, he’ll drop whatever weapon he’s holding and be zapped out of the sky. you’re able to prevent this by wearing theRubber Armor Setor eatingmeals/elixirs that have shock-resistanceeffects.
