To hit Farosh, the Electric Dragon, you will need to wait for it to appear at 5am and then use your bow and arrows to target its horn, which can be done by flying down from Lake Tower to the top of the first bridge tower and waiting for the dragon to appear, or by paragliding parallel to the bridge to get up close and personal with Farosh. By aiming for the horn and hitting it with an arrow, you can cause it to fall off, and then follow its bright light to find where it drops, allowing you to collect Farosh’s Horn, a scarce monster part essential for upgrading armor at Great Fairy Fountains.
