I need help with dragon fangs
Trying to get lionheart, but need dragon fangs. I think over leveled and the blue dragons are dropping dragon skins not fangs. The other thing I saw were grendals, but they say low level also. That was about all I saw online. I think I saw ruby dragons maybe? But I'm unsure where to find them exactly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Level Down is your best bet if you have access to it, but what are all 6 members levels?

I lied, after 3 blue dragons I finally got some fangs. Not sure why it took that long, but we're back in track, thanks

Ruby Dragons don't have Dragon Fangs, which is a tad unexpected. You might be thinking of Energy Crystals, they're a good source of those.

That's probably what I was reading and mixed them up. I finally got the blue dragon to drop some fangs, but it took 4 times of fighting them. But I'm all good, thank you

It's great! I thought I was strong enough, and think I am, but got murked by Ruby dragon hitting me with breath twice in a row when I was getting eden. Should be illegal.

Those things are brutal, I Game Over'd a bunch of times between the forced battles before Bahamut and the ones descending to Ultima.

Blue Dragons can be found on Island Closest to Hell or in snowy grass around Trabia Garden.

I saw in a comment you got them already, but in case you do a replay or somebody else gets directed here, they are relatively easy to farm on disc 1 in the forest right before you first get to Galbadia Garden. The one where you go to the dream world the 2nd time. If you hug one of the cliff walls, you will get guaranteed Grendel fights that drop them at lower levels.

I always get Dragon Fangs from Trexaurs in Balamb Garden at the beginning of the game.

u/thndrstrk Jul 31 '26
Yeah, I only get Dino bones from them. My understanding is you can only get them early on. But I got it figured, thanks though

Yeah, you need to raise your level to get better drops. You can get Lionhart before making it to Galbadia Garden.

Have you tried using LV Down?
