Farosh Shrine

Maren's Tip

Remember — if a shrine gives Rauru's Blessing with no puzzle inside, the real challenge was reaching the entrance. Check the surrounding area!

Walkthrough

1. Step 1: Farosh Shrine in Lanayru is a Blessing shrine unlocked by collecting a body part from Farosh, the Lightning Dragon — one of three legendary dragons circling Hyrule.
2. Farosh follows a fixed flight path around Lake Hylia and up the Floria River, appearing each morning beginning around 5:00 AM game time.
3. The best interception point is the Lakeside Stable near Lake Hylia or the cliffs above Riola Spring.
4. Step 2: Build a campfire (Flint struck against Wood) and rest until morning if Farosh is not visible.
5. When the dragon appears, it glides slowly along its circuit trailing electric sparks.
6. Paraglide off the nearest high point to match its altitude.
7. Step 3: While airborne near Farosh, draw your bow to activate bullet-time (slow motion while aiming mid-air).
8. Fire an arrow at any of its glowing body segments: the body yields Farosh's Scale, claws yield Farosh's Claw, fangs yield Farosh's Fang Shard, and the horn yields Shard of Farosh's Horn (the rarest and most valuable for armor upgrades).
9. Any material works for the offering.
10. Step 4: The material drops from Farosh and lands on the ground or in the water below — it glows bright green and is easy to spot.
11. Collect it and travel to the offering altar in the Lanayru region (marked on your map once you have a dragon material in your inventory).
12. Place the material on the altar to activate the shrine.
13. Step 5: Enter the shrine and walk directly to the altar.
14. No puzzle or combat awaits inside — the dragon hunt was the trial.
15. Claim your Light of Blessing.
16. Hidden chest: Inside the shrine, a chest to the right of the altar path contains a Topaz (worth 180 rupees and useful for upgrading Rubber Armor).
17. Ability needed: Paraglider is essential for reaching Farosh's altitude.
18. Bullet-time bow aiming (activated by drawing a bow mid-air) makes hitting the dragon significantly easier.
19. Pro tip: Attach a Keese Eyeball to your arrow before firing — it creates a homing arrow that tracks Farosh automatically, virtually guaranteeing a hit even at extreme range.
20. Farm Keese Eyeballs from the bat swarms near any cave entrance at night.
