Acquisition

• Leech Ospreys are a relatively uncommon enemy, making this rare mod hard to find.
  • Gleaming Talon was also a reward on a 24-hour alert on Friday, 12 September 2014 as part of the Back To School Special Alert Week.

Trivia

• Prior to Update 26.0 (2019-10-31), Ruin was actually the default combo for Glaive weapons when no stances are equipped.
