Tips for Getting Naydra's Scale

• The Paraglider, Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower, Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower, and flying Zonai Vehicles are highly useful for reaching Naydra.

• Naydra makes the air surrounding it frigid, and standing on it causes unbearable cold. Bring some Cold resistant armor or recipes to mitigate the damage.

• The best place to try to hitch a ride on Naydra is as it emerges from the aptly named Naydra Snowfield Chasm near the Mount Lanayru Skyview Tower.

• Strike Naydra anywhere on its body other than the Horn, Claw, and Mouth to knock one of Naydra's Scales loose.

• When knocked loose, Naydra's Scale will rest momentarily before falling. Grab the scale quickly if possible—otherwise, you may need to skydive after it.

• You can strike Naydra once every ten minutes for scales and parts.
