Read on, and we’ll break down the most efficient methods for acquiring large scales.
What are Large Scales in Wild Hearts?
Large Scale is a type of forging material obtained from small kemonos. However, this material won’t be accessible until you progress through a certain chapter of the game, which we’ll be discussing below.
How to Get Large Scale in Wild Hearts
The best way to get Large Scales is by killing Sparkshower Monitors or Springwatch Monitors. However, this specific material will only drop after players reach Chapter 3 of the Main Story. So there’s no point in killing these beasts if you haven’t progressed further into the game.
Sparkshower Monitors are first seen on Spirit Isle or Natsukodachi Isle. Nevertheless, after chapter three you will obtain the Mighty Kemono upgrade and the events of the game will cause Sparkshower monitors to spawn in Akikure Canyon and begin dropping Large Scales upon death.
Refer to the map below for the specific location where you can start farming Sparkshower Monitors:

To do so, select the small Kemono filter located in the screen’s lower left corner, and then navigate to any of the map’s circular icons to reveal the corresponding Kemono.
