Farosh is a one-of-a-kind creature in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Returning from Breath of the Wild, Farosh is a massive, lightning-element sky dragon that flies over Hyrule in a long, circuitous route. You'll not only need to figure out how to find it, but also the gear you'll need to be able to set foot on it. Like the other dragons roaming the skies of Hyrule, it is immortal but can still be attacked to drop exclusive items to craft special equipment. New in Tears of the Kingdom is that the roaming dragons also have a route and routine in the Depths beneath Hyrule. Learn where to find Farosh's path in TotK, tips for landing on it, and what materials it drops with this enemy guide.

Farosh, the Great Lightning Spirit Dragon, is located in Hyrule's southwest regions, and will fly out of Gerudo Desert and along its large canyon, before traveling below the Great Plateau to the other side of Lake Hylia, and going
Farosh Path Map
Farosh can be found emerging from the large East Gerudo Chasm on the southeast side of the Gerudo Desert, just south of the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. The dragon will fly north and dip along the canyon, flying above it as it curves around the Skyview Tower and back down south, before cutting straight to the east. Farosh will continue flying directly south of the Great Plateau and across the northern portion of Lake Hylia and its bridge, before arriving at the Hills of Baumer Chasm.
Once underground, Farosh will take a long curved route back by skirting the borders of Lake Hylia (which is a giant rock wall in the Depths), by traveling south and then east through the Faron Woods located on the surface. It will fly straight east across the depths version of the Faron Grasslands and then fly south around the South Lomei Labyrinth, up past the Champion's Gate and then back out of the Desert Chasm.
