If you have an excess of Paradisan Ladder, you can craft one Hylea’s Talon at your party camp workbench using four units. Alternatively, if you possess Admeth’s Wyrt, you can convert it into Hylea’s Talon by selecting the "Downgrade" option next to "Upgrade Materials."

Breaking Down Items

For upgraded items you no longer need, whether self-upgraded or shop-bought, you can obtain additional Hylea’s Talon by breaking them down in your inventory menu. This method is applicable only to "Exceptional" quality or higher weapons and armor, so always check the "Break Down" section of their item description for potential materials.
