"A spirit of fire has taken the form of this giant dragon. Making its home in the Eldin region, it's said to have served the Spring of Power since ancient times. An old saying goes, "The dragon ascends to the heavens as the sun begins to set." but nobody has witnessed this in the current age. The flames that coat its body make it dangerous to get near, but Dinraal bears no ill will toward people."
Dinraal is one of three dragons found in Breath of the Wild. It can be found during morning hours roaming from the skies northeast of the Eldin Great Skeleton to the southern end of Tanagar Canyon.
Drops and Uses
Dinraal can drop four items, including Dinraal's Scale, Dinraal's Claw, Shard of Dinraal's Fang, and Shard of Dinraal's Horn. Dinraal always spawns a fair distance from your current location along his flight path which can make him easy to miss and forces you to wait for him to come within range, but the following farming methods are relatively fast, efficient and 100% reliable:
Some ways along the path west of Eldin Great Skeleton is a very tall triangular rock (not the smaller curved one, but the larger one further down.) Build a fire at its base and rest until morning. Southeast of this rock is a prominent ledge. Head towards the path leading up to it and Dinraal should spawn in almost immediately. You have plenty of time to get up on the ledge and position yourself for the perfect air shot as the dragon glides by. Collect your body part, relight the campfire, and repeat as needed. The positioning is important: this will not work if you sleep on the ledge. Running from the triangular rock seems to be necessary to trigger the spawn correctly.
Dinraal can also be farmed at Tanagar Canyon. Warp to Hebra Tower and use the fire in Pondo's Lodge to rest until morning. Dinraal will spawn just north of the Forgotten Temple shortly after you regain control. Go east to the canyon's edge and wait for Dinraal to come closer. He will descend into the canyon near Salari Plain which is when you can land a good shot on him.
Alternatively, warp to Shae Loya Shrine and use the Tabantha Bridge Stable to rest until morning. Then, ride your horse straight north alongside the canyon and you should see Dinraal flying low towards Tanagar Canyon Course as you ride past Mount Rhoam. Glide out to shoot him. This is possibly the fastest farming spot for Dinraal.
Note that Dinraal may not spawn if you wait at the same location too many times in a row, or during weather. Be careful of Dinraal's fiery aura because if you paraglide too close it may knock you out of the sky.

Shrine Quests
Dinraal is involved in The Spring of Power shrine quest in order to uncover Tutsuwa Nima Shrine, south of the North Akkala Valley. Link must procure a scale to drop in the Spring of Power, which will open the door to the shrine.
Dinraal is also involved in the DLC-exclusive Shira Gomar Shrine at the Tanagar Canyon, where Link must shoot at its horns when they glow blue to uncover the shrine. The shard serves no purpose towards uncovering the shrine, as the point itself is shooting at the horns.
