How to Shoot Dinraal’s Scale
To shoot Dinraal’s scale, you need to hit either of Dinraal’s Horns with an arrow, which will glow brightly if a material is available to be grabbed, making it easy to spot, or you can also strike the body of the large fiery sky dragon that flies above Akkala, north of Death Mountain, and the Thyphlo Ruins. The attack/arrow doesn’t have to specifically hit the ‘nail’ of the foot, any part of the leg/talon works, and it’s recommended to use ice arrows or bomb arrows for a higher chance of success.
