Faron Tower is a Sheikah Tower in Zelda: Breath of the Wild that is preferred for gathering resources like Hearty Durians, Luminous Deposits, and rare mob farming in the late game.
This tower is located across the Sarjon Woods near the Floria River, and getting there is difficult. One of the biggest challenges is stamina. This guide breaks down the exact details of locating and getting to the tower and unlocking the map for the Faron region in Zelda BOTW.
Zelda BOTW Faron Tower Location
Faron Tower is located northeast of the Floria River, and the easiest way to get there is through the Lake Tower.
Once you have activated the Lake Tower, head southeast to the Sarjon Woods. When you see the tower tip from the forest, you are on the right path. Simply walk to the end of the ledge near the never; chances are you will encounter some Bakoblins here.
Glide down to the lower ledge on your northwest, go in the same direction, and get to the other side of the river. You need a decent amount of stamina to get to the tower. Once you get out of the river, follow the left direction. Your exact location will be as below.
When you reach a flooded area with coral rock seed in the middle, climb the hill in front of it. Another hill will be above you, so continue climbing until you reach the climbable rocks on your right.
Keep going until you reach the plateau with slight fog halfway. Once you do, go to the left side and get to the tip of the plateau. At the top, you will see the tower right side of the red rock. Jump over the ledge, paraglide to the red rock, grasp onto it, and climb to the top.
There will be another coral rock seed at the top of the rock. Run to the right side, and you will see the tower’s tip from the edge. Glide over to that part when you notice a lower rock below the edge.
If the wind is good, it will take you directly to the tower; you can also drop down on the rock below and glide to the tower from there.
How to Climb Faron Tower?
Scaling the tower is the first method to reach the top of the Faron Tower in Zelda BOTW. This requires a lot of stamina; therefore, ensure you have an extended stamina gauge as you decide to climb the tower. Also, you must have food to restore your stamina halfway up.
The other method is backtracking. Go left from the cliff where we paraglided to reach the tower base across the cliff. This is a fairly long method as you need to climb up rocks, and then, as you reach the top of those rocks, you can paraglide to the top of Faron Tower. After this, you’ll need to climb up a little bit, as paragliding won’t be able to take you to the top.
Another method is by using Octo Balloons. This is the simplest and easiest way to do so. First, head south from the tower’s base and collect Octo Balloons if you don’t already have them. Then, go back to the tower base and look for a huge rock with a flat top. This rock is the one responsible for not letting the updraft reach you. With an Octo Balloon, jump over this huge rock, and it will release an updraft.
As the rock releases the updraft, you must use it at your maximum. Pressing “X” two times in the updraft will help you go up. This will only boost you up to a certain extent, after which you must climb up. From here, use your stamina and climb the tower. After a little climb, you will reach the top of Faron Tower in Zelda BOTW.
