Lightning Talon — Detailed Guide
A trophy used in tributes
The Lightning Talon is a trophy item in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The game describes it in a single line: "This trophy proves your worth as a hunter." It counts as a resource rather than something unlocked through an engram, and every recipe that uses it is a tribute.
Tributes that take the talon
In ASA our records list 5 tribute recipes that use it:
Generate Manticore (Gamma) Portal: 2
Generate Manticore (Beta) Portal: 10
Generate Manticore (Alpha) Portal: 20
Generate Scorched Earth Portal: 10
Summon Minotarchos: 5
The ASE list has 4 entries, the three 
Manticore portals and the Scorched Earth portal, with the same amounts; Summon Minotarchos is the one extra recipe on the ASA side.
Weight and sources
A talon weighs 1 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 100. Our loot records hold a single entry that can contain it, listed as 
Lightning Wyvern. The talon itself is recorded on 3 maps: Scorched Earth, Ragnarok and Astraeos.
