To embark on your quest for Sharp Fangs, start by accepting one of the initial optional quests like "Beware the Chatacabra" or "The Desert is Demanding." These quests will lead you to the Windward Plains, providing you with a generous 50-minute window to explore. Before setting out, consider boosting your stats by cooking and eating a meal.

Once in the Windward Plains, head east to Area 8, the largest zone where you'll encounter various smaller monsters, either in herds or wandering solo. While multiple creatures in this area can drop Sharp Fangs, focusing on one specific monster will streamline your efforts.

Gaijos

Gaijos, small leviathan monsters resembling crocodiles with unique snouts, are your prime target for Sharp Fangs. They are often found near or in the riverbeds of Area 8. Use the interactive map to locate them by looking for purple diamonds near water sources.

Engage these creatures with your weapon of choice; they have relatively low health, making them quick to defeat. After defeating a Gaijo, carve its carcass to obtain 1 x Sharp Fang. Gaijos are guaranteed to drop Sharp Fangs, making them the most reliable source. With four to five Gaijos typically present in the Windward Plains upon entering, you can repeatedly undertake optional quests to farm more Sharp Fangs as needed.

Another monster you might encounter in your search for Sharp Fangs is the Talioth. These bipedal creatures roam in small packs in Areas 8 and sometimes 13. While not as reliable as Gaijos for Sharp Fangs, defeating Talioths can yield these resources alongside other items like Talioth Scales. Tackling these monsters also helps you complete the "The Desert is Demanding" quest, which requires you to kill 8 Talioths.
