Wild Hearts large scale: Where to get this material
Large scales are harvested fromSparkshower MonitorsandSpringwatch Monitorsbut only after you reachChapter Threeof the main story. These small Kemonos can be found inHarugasumi Way,Natsukodachi Isle, andAkikure Canyon. Once you’ve killed one, interact with the body to harvest the resources from it.
You should be able to use the detailed map view to track small Kemonos and hovering over any you find should give you their name. That way, you can plan out where you need to go so you don’t end up wandering around aimlessly.
It’s also worth noting that it’s possible to find and kill these enemies before you reach Chapter Three, but they will only drop small scales before you progress through the story further.
