There are two ways to farm Hinox Toenails fast in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The first way is by taking a picture of a Hinox and using the Sensor+ Purah Pad upgrade. This upgrade is a godsend for farming any monster part, as it will beep as you get closer to the monster in mind. Getting Purah Pad upgrades is pretty straightforward, and we have a complete guide on how to acquire Sensor+ on the Attack of the Fanboy site.

The next method for farming Hinox Toenails is by using the duplication glitch. Nintendo has recently patched the duplication glitch — so this can only be used by those who don’t have automatic updates turned on. This glitch will allow you to take one Hinox Tail and duplicate it to as many as you would like. This glitch is the fastest way to farm Hinox Toenails in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and can be completed by following the steps below.

  • Perform a shield surf jump by pressing ZL, then X, and then A.
  • While in the air, press pause.
  • Have Link hold Hinox Toenail.
  • Hold X and A and unpause the game.
  • Pick up duplicated items.

If you are having trouble taking down the Hinox — I recommend bringing bomb flowers. Shooting bomb flowers will have the Hinox falling to the ground in no time, where you can unleash spin attacks to drain its health quickly.
