Wild Hearts is a fast-paced action game with a vibrant, stylized aesthetic and a synth-pop soundtrack, where players travel through surreal and dreamlike landscapes, battling foes, and dodging obstacles. There are many different materials and ingredients you might need to progress and craft things in the game, including many that drop from Giant Kemono. This is our Dreadclaw Materials Guide for Normal, Mighty, and Volatile Dreadclaws in Wild Hearts and how to get the different materials available in-game.
Dreadclaw Materials Guide – Normal
Dreadclaws are Giant Kemono that can be found on Natsukodachi Isle (Chapters 1 and 2). Their Elemental Weakness is Fire, and they are weak to Slashing weaponry. To swiftly take down a Dreadclaw, you will want to focus attacks on its head and throat and avoid dodging backwards while using both Bulwark and Torch Karakuri to stay a step ahead of the Kemono during battle.
Here are all of the crafting and upgrading materials that normal Dreadclaws can drop so that you can craft or upgrade armor/weapons to get to end-game hunts!
| Crafting Material | Notes |
|---|---|
| Dreadclaw Corona | Break head |
| Dreadclaw Plume | Rare, defeat |
| Dreadclaw Sickle Feather | Break tail |
| Dreadclaw Skin | Break body |
| Dreadclaw Talon | Break talons |
| Roaming Bard Kemono Blood | Defeat |
| Roaming Bard Teardrops | Defeat |
| Small Zephyr Crystal | Defeat |
Dreadclaw Materials Guide – Mighty
Mighty Dreadclaws are Giant Kemono that can be found on Natsukodachi Isle (Chapters 3 and 4), but you can often look for icons of this beast on the main map by participating in ongoing hunts. To take down a Mighty Dreadclaw, the battle is similar, you’ll just need to be more agile, more alert, and make sure you have the appropriate gear to do battle effectively.
Here are all of the crafting and upgrading materials that Mighty Dreadclaws can drop so that you can craft or upgrade armor/weapons to get to end-game hunts!
| Crafting Material | Notes |

Note: We are still trying obtain materials dropped from volatile Dreadclaws.
Remember, some items require you to break certain parts of the Giant Kemono, while others are more common drops after slaying one in any manner. Not all drops are guaranteed, though, so be prepared to grind for some materials.
We hope our guide on Dreadclaw Materials in Wild Hearts has helped you locate the item you need. You can also use the Cyclopedia to check what obtainable materials have a chance to drop based on the Kemono if you are uncertain. The Cyclopedia also marks where their habitat is.
