There are four different parts of the dragon that can break off, and you should aim depending on the specific material you need. From there, you should be able to easily drift into the strong updrafts of wind that surround the dragon, and shoot an elemental arrow to break off a part. Naydra emerges, circles the mountain briefly, then descends towards East Gate Lanaryu Road. I set up a campfire at this exact spot on the map and waited until dawn and at 5 AM looked towards Mount Lanaryu. Upon freeing and defeating Naydra, the dragon will begin to make the rounds in Lanaryu and Necluda. You’ll find Naydra at the top of Mount Lanaryu, covered in Ganon’s Malice.

The quest is triggered by speaking to Medda in Hateno Village. Unlike the other two dragons, Naydra doesn’t roam the Hyrule countryside until a sidequest, The Spring of Wisdom, is completed. If performed correctly, you should be able to use your campfire to farm a dragon for material every morning at 5 AM. There are many guides out there but many of them seem to have conflicting times and spawning locations listed for the dragons, suggesting the best idea is to get to a known spawning point and camp out for a few days to make sure it checks out. Before approaching any dragon to farm them for parts, you may wish to make some speed-boosting elixirs or meals, recipes for which you can find in our guide.Įach dragon sheds very valuable materials necessary for upgrading armor and making powerful elixirs, but they can be hard to track down without knowing their spawn points and times. The dragons themselves are massive and very hard to keep up with. And Naydra drifts through the Lanaryu areas that are filled with rain, lakes, rivers, and ponds. Farosh primarily sticks to the Faron region, where frequent rainstorms send out bolts of lightening in endless supply. Dinraal is generally found in the northernmost strip of Hyrule above the Eldin Mountains and Death Mountain, where it’s hot.

As such, all three are tied specifically to environments that reflect their element. What I didn’t know at the time is that Hyrule is home to three regional dragons that represent their three goddesses (each themselves representing one of the three pieces of the Triforce): Dinraal for for the Goddess of Power, Din, an aspect of fire Farosh for the Goddess of Courage, Farore, an aspect of lightning and Naydra for the Goddess of Wisdom, Nayru, an aspect of water. I was stumbling along in the Eldin Mountains one day when I came across Dinraal, the lithe red dragon of the north, making his way through a canyon. One of the most majestic and awe-inspiring moments I had in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was something of a miracle in spoiler-dodging.
