"A spirit of ice has taken the form of this giant dragon. Making its home in the Lanayru region, it's said to have served the Spring of Wisdom since ancient times. An old saying goes, "The dragon ascends to the heavens as the sun begins to set," but nobody has seen this in the current age. The ice that coats its body makes it dangerous to get near, but Naydra bears no ill will toward people."

— In-Game Description

Naydra is one of three dragons found in Breath of the Wild. It can be found roaming the area surrounding Mount Lanayru.

It is first encountered at the peak of Mount Lanayru covered in Malice.

Mechanics

After freeing Naydra from the Malice, it will not start spawning in the world until the Seek Out Impa Main Quest has been completed or Link has freed the four Divine Beasts. Once one of these tasks is completed, Naydra will always spawn whenever the following conditions are met:

  • It is between the hours of 7 PM and 7 AM.
  • Link is in the Lanayru region.
  • Naydra hasn't already spawned that day.

Naydra will always spawn on its flight path a long distance away from Link and will leave after flying for 5 hours or if Link attacks it.

Naydra's flight path is a long loop with no set start point and it will leave before it can complete one full circuit. From the top of Mount Lanayru, Naydra circles the summit a few times before descending down the west side of the mountain over Naydra Snowfield, goes through Lanayru Road to the west gate, then returns back east along the north side of Lanayru Heights, goes down into Lanayru Bay, then follows the bay until Wintre Island where it climbs back up to the peak of the mountain and repeats the cycle.

Naydra can only spawn once a day but since a new day starts at midnight, it is possible to make it spawn twice in one night.

Drops and Uses

Naydra can drop four items, including Naydra's Scale, Naydra's Claw, Shard of Naydra's Fang, and Shard of Naydra's Horn. Naydra will always drop a Scale on the first encounter with Link regardless of where Link shoots it with an arrow.

Shrine Quests

Naydra is involved in The Spring of Wisdom shrine quest in order to uncover Jitan Sa'mi Shrine at Mount Lanayru. Link must remove the Malice accursing Naydra and procure a scale to drop in the Spring of Wisdom, which will open the door to the shrine.

Farming

The best place to farm Naydra is as it comes up the mountain. Go to the wooded area northeast of the Jitan Sa'mi Shrine on top of Mount Lanayru. Make sure you have some cold protection. If you have the Travel Medallion place it here. You can replenish wood here as well if you need it. Drop a campfire and rest until morning then immediately glide east-northeast toward Tarm Point or Lodrum Headland. Naydra will be flying at the bottom of the mountain from the northwest. Drop down to get closer and shoot it, grab the item then teleport back. Rinse and repeat.

Alternatively, if you don't have the Travel Medallion you can rest until morning at the shrine then glide northeast towards Wintre Island to catch Naydra as it ascends the mountain. This takes slightly longer than the previous method as you have to cover more distance than just jumping from the northeast woods but the items tend to drop more consistently around Wintre Island or the cliff at the base of the mountain where Naydra begins its ascent.

Another good spot is to position yourself on the Lanayru Bluff and to wait because Naydra flies right through the Lanayru Promenade between the cliffs, making it an ideal place to glide down for a perfect shot.

Trivia

  • It's not explained in-game how Naydra became blighted with Malice in the first place, though there's the possibility that it may have happened to hinder Zelda from returning to the Spring of Wisdom.
  • Naydra is not in the capacity of freezing Link while it's blemished with Malice. Removing the Malice allows Naydra to freeze Link henceforth.
  • Originating from the skies above the peak of Mount Lanayru, Naydra is the only dragon out of the three whose associated location requires cold protection.
  • Naydra is the largest and mightiest creature in the game which has been blighted with Malice. In spite of the blight, Naydra remains inoffensive towards Link, instead trying to avoid being shot.
  • Once free from the Malice, if Naydra is shot for parts before reaching Lanayru Road, it'll turn back towards Mount Lanayru.
  • In order to completely avoid being frozen by Naydra on a close encounter, Link must be wearing clothes with the Unfreezable armor bonus, namely, the ★★+ enhanced Snowquill Set. No other set or armor part will have such property, nor any meal or elixir will award it.
