Long Claws: Eyeless One Drop and Uses

Long Claws is a material tied to Deep North progression. You obtain it from Eyeless Ones in Winding Tunnels, and its main role is Deep North crafting recipes. Use this page alongside the Deep North guide and the item catalog.

Quick facts

How to obtain

1. Enter a Winding Tunnels dungeon beneath an abandoned village.
2. Pull Eyeless Ones into a cleared chamber and defeat them without adding enemies from the next branch.
3. Loot their Long Claws and portal the first stack home to reveal any recipes whose other requirements you know.

What it's used for

• Defeat Eyeless Ones inside Winding Tunnels.
• Gather Frostcores and key moulds during the same run.
• Return to the workshop chain described in the Deep North guide.

Dungeon drop route

Long Claws come from Eyeless Ones in the Winding Tunnels. Their dungeon setting matters more than the item weight: pull enemies into a room you already cleared, avoid blind corners, and collect the claws before continuing through another branch.

The material participates in Deep North crafting recipes that appear as you discover moulds and upgrade the workshop chain. Carry the first set back through a portal so the inventory pickup can reveal any recipes whose other prerequisites you already know.

Farm claws alongside Elaking Hair Bundles, Frostcores, and key moulds. Mark dead ends and repaired exits. This prevents a material run from becoming a complete dungeon rescan, especially in the unusually large tunnel layouts.

Frequently asked questions

What drops Long Claws?

Eyeless Ones in Winding Tunnels drop them.

What else should I farm in the same run?

Collect Frostcores, Elaking Hair Bundles, and three key moulds before considering the dungeon complete.

Common mistakes

• Looking for Long Claws on surface creatures instead of Eyeless Ones in the tunnels.
• Advancing through a blind doorway before looting the defeated enemy.
• Dropping claws to make room while carrying less important ordinary materials.

Place a chest beside the entrance portal and empty rare drops between branches. Because Winding Tunnels can be extensive, this creates a reliable checkpoint and preserves claws even if the next room causes a death. Review Black Forge recipes after the first pickup rather than waiting until the entire dungeon is cleared.

Long Claws are portal-safe, so they should never be the reason a party stays in a damaged run. Transfer them with Elaking Hair and return after repairing. Keep the moulds and Frostcores in the same rare-loot chest so the value of a completed branch is visible at a glance.
