"A spirit of lightning has taken the form of this giant dragon. Making its home in the Faron region, it's said to have served the Spring of Courage since ancient times. And old saying goes, "The dragon ascends to the heavens as the sun begins to set." but nobody has seen this in the current age. The electricity that coats its body makes it dangerous to get near, but Farosh bears no ill will toward people."
Farosh is one of three dragons found in Breath of the Wild. It can be found roaming the Faron region at Lake Hylia or Lake Floria. It can also be found in the Gerudo Highlands region flying around Gerudo Summit.
Mechanics
Farosh will not start spawning in the world until the Seek Out Impa Main Quest has been completed or Link has freed the four Divine Beasts. Once one of these tasks is completed, Farosh will always spawn whenever the following conditions are met:
- It is between the hours of 7 PM and 7 AM.
- Link is in one of the regions of its flight path.
- Farosh hasn't already spawned that day.
Farosh will leave after flying around for 5 hours or if Link attacks it. It is unique from the other dragons in that it has multiple flight paths, two of which have set spawn points.
The first of these paths is a small loop around Lake Hylia. Farosh spawns from the northeastern part of the lake and circles the lake, passing under the southern part of the bridge. This is a decent farm spot in the early game.
The second flight path is a back and forth loop over Lake Floria. Farosh spawns out of Riola Spring, follows the water down to pass under Floria Bridge, then rises back up to dive into Rassla Lake. After completely disappearing into the lake, Farosh reemerges from it and flies the same path in reverse.
The third flight path is around Gerudo Summit. Farosh has no spawn point here. It will spawn on its flight path a long distance away from Link, similar to how Naydra and Dinraal work. Its path takes it through the pass on top of the summit, follows the cliff that extends east of the summit, then flies west over Vatorsa Snowfield, and comes back around the southern side of the summit to repeat the loop. But since this area is more troublesome to get around, it's not a very good farming spot.
Farosh can only spawn once a day but since a new day starts at midnight, it is possible to make it spawn twice in one night.

Farming
Farosh is the easiest dragon to farm out of the three, as it has set spawning points that can be reached with ease and be triggered immediately upon resting until morning.
One recommended location to wait for Farosh is at the southern towers of the Bridge of Hylia. Catch an updraft from Farosh to get closer, then fire an arrow from the air. Note that Farosh may not spawn if you wait at the same location too many times in a row, or during weather. Be careful of Farosh's electric aura because if you paraglide too close it may knock you out of the sky. This is a relatively easy farming location during the early game.
An even better location to catch Farosh and farm dragon parts is Riola Spring, above Shoda Sah Shrine. The trees there will protect your fire from rain so set a fire and wait until morning and Farosh will come out of the water within a few seconds. Parts will land around the spring and will remain after resting so you can shoot Farosh and then relight the fire and repeat.
