You can climb up to a waterfall from the Shoda Sah Shrine, and Farosh will appear at its end. By performing the above method, you can repeatedly make it appear. Depending on where you hit it with your bow, you can obtain different materials, and the Shard of Farosh's Horn obtained from its horns can be sold for 300 Rupees. Shoot arrows at Farosh's horns when it appears to defeat it and earn a lot of Rupees quickly.
| Materials Obtainable From Farosh | |||
|---|---|---|---|
 Farosh's Scale | Farosh's Claw | Shard of Farosh's Horn | Shard of Farosh's Fang |
Recommended Bow And Arrows
| Golden Bow | Swallow Bow | Falcon Bow |
| Phrenic Bow | Duplex Bow | Ancient Bow |
When aiming for Farosh's horn with a bow and arrow, distance is very important. Prepare a long-range bow and arrow like the ones mentioned above, as they make it easier to aim at the horn.
Take Measures Against Lightning
| Equipment | Effect |
|---|---|
| Thunder Helm | Unshockable |
| Rubber Equipment | Unshockable with the ★2 upgraded Rubber Set |
Thunderous orbs are whirling around Farosh, and coming into contact with them inflicts damage. If you possess an ample amount of Hearts, it might not pose a significant threat. Nevertheless, you can still ensure that you don't get damaged by equipping yourself with anti shock rubber gears.
Sell Unnecessary Materials In The Early Stages To Make Money
Ores Are Relatively Expensive And Recommended
| Ore | Amount |
|---|---|
| Amber | 30 |
| Opal | 60 |
| Luminous Stone | 70 |
| Topaz | 180 |
| Ruby | 210 |
| Sapphire | 260 |
| Diamond | 500 |
Ores are recommended for earning Rupees in the early stages as they can be sold at a relatively high price. Although they are needed later for things like armor upgrades, they can be obtained when necessary, so if you're short on Rupees in the early stages, it's best to sell them. Among the ores, Luminous Stones are easy to gather and particularly recommended.
Main Quests Guides ListAlso, although it may be difficult in the early stages, it's possible to defeat Stone Talus and collect ores after making some progress. However, if your equipment is in order, remember that hunting Farosh can be an efficient means of acquiring resources.
Selling Cooked Dishes And Materials Is Also An Option
If you have a large quantity of Monster Parts, food, and other items obtained along the way, you can also sell them. It's best not to sell hard-to-find materials, but if you have materials that you have unknowingly accumulated a lot of, it's okay to sell them. When it comes to food, you can earn more by cooking it.
Play Mini Games
Earn Rupees by clearing mini-games that can be played in various locations. You may encounter some mini-games that don't require any preparation, so it's worth giving them a try when you find them.
Snowball Bowling Is Especially Recommended!
| Location | Cabin by the pond near Hebra Tower |
|---|---|
| Requirement | Stay warm with Rito equipment and other gear |
Near Hebra Tower, in front of the pond hut, you can challenge the snowball bowling for 20 Rupees. If you succeed in getting a strike, you can earn 300 Rupees, and since it's easy to get used to, it's recommended.
