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.

Naydra's Scale Uses
Naydra's Scaleis essential for upgrading helpful armor, such as theSnow Boots,Fierce Deity Armor Set, andArmor of the Wild SetatGreat Fairy Fountains and is useful for weapon fusions.
When fused with weapons and shields,Naydra's Scaleincreases attack power and freezes monsters with attacks and shield parries. Any weapon fused with Naydra's Scale will no longer be sharp or hammer-like, so attacks using this material for fusion will only be effective against unarmored monsters. These scales can also be attached to arrows to grant your next shot increased attack power and the ability to deliver a large blast of freezing ice from a distance.
Naydra's Scales can also be cooked into dish recipes to slightly increase heart recovery and effect duration or used to dye your armor light blue at the Kochi Dye Shop in Hateno Village—although we recommend saving these rare scales for upgrading armor.
