This can be found fairly easily, head over to the area and look for a cave entrance. The Strange Tooth should just be right in front of the glowing red heart.

2. Protected by a Frostarm Sawachurl

3. Middle of the river encased in ice

You can find this Strange Tooth encased in ice that you can only melt with the help of Scarlet Quartz. You can find one on the side at Dragonspine, near a Seelie Court.

There is also a Cryo Abyss Mage and a Hydro Abyss Mage in the area, you can defeat them first so that it will be easier to collect the Strange Tooth.

4. Protected by some Fatui
