What Time of Day Does Farosh Appear?
Farosh, the Lightning Dragon, appears at 5:00 AM and can also be found at 12:00 AM when it spawns from the northwest part of Lake Hylia, and it is possible to make it spawn twice in one night since a new day starts at midnight. The dragons in BOTW typically spawn in the morning and fly close to the ground shortly after, giving Link an opportunity to get close enough to hit them, with Farosh’s full path taking about thirty-five minutes to complete.
