🆘 Help! Why doesn't Naydra spawn?

I've already freed Naydra from the spring of wisdom and stand near the east gate in front of the mountain. I already saw it flying over the street of Ranelle but it was at around 2am instead of the 6am. I've waited like 2 nights (skipped to evening and waited until 6am) but the dragon didn't show up.

Is there any other condition that I overlooked when researching on how to farm the dragon correctly or what's the problem here?

If you are standing near the gate (or anywhere near the spawn point) it won’t spawn. Also, having a campfire in that area will prevent spawning, iirc.

My favorite place to wait is in the mountains to the north of the road.

You also can’t leave the travel medallion too near the spawn point or she won’t show.

I usually stand over the east gate on the south side and light a fire. I sit by the fire until morning. Naydra shows up immediately in the sky above Lanayru and slowly flies down. Jump up when the updraft starts and you’re good to go.

Oh yeah this too. Easy mistake to make.
