Equip the Snowquill Set

When boarding Naydra, make sure to prepare clothes and items that provide Cold Resistance to combat the sudden drop of temperature. It is recommended to equip the full Snowquill as it provides the best cold protection, allowing you to stay on top of the dragon for a much longer time.

Dragon Drops

All the items listed above will have a chance to drop down to Hyrule. In any case that you wanted to have another one of these, you can wait ten minutes to force a respawn.

When waiting for a respawn, you need to wait ten minutes in real life and keep the game running. Opening your menu will interfere with the waiting time.

Some Materials Might Fall

Like other dragons, hitting certain parts of their body will cause them to drop materials instead. You can get these items by simply diving off the dragon and catch the spheres that fell off.
