What is the solution to By Firefly’s Light?

Release five Sunset Fireflies inside Lasli’s house at night. In this The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild side quest, she wants to see fireflies without leaving home. They must be flying in the room; simply carrying five and speaking to her does not finish it.

Before starting, finish Find the Fairy Fountain and Flown the Coop in Kakariko Village. The reward for Lasli’s request is a Purple Rupee.

Where is Lasli, and when should you talk to her?

During the day, Lasli calls to customers outside the village clothing shop. At night she goes home. Follow her home if you do not know the building, then let her settle inside before speaking to her about the fireflies.

If she says she is busy or has only just arrived, wait and talk again. Her daytime conversation at the shop is not the indoor scene you need.

Where can you catch five Sunset Fireflies?

Look around the village’s water and vegetation after dark, including the area near the bridge by Lasli’s house. Approach the glowing insects slowly and pick them up. Running through the group scatters them.

A Stealth set or a Sneaky dish helps you approach quietly. Neither is mandatory: crouching and moving carefully is enough to make an attempt.

Stealth equipment helps while catching insects, but the quest only requires the fireflies.

If the nearby group has escaped, use the Sunset Firefly map for other gathering spots. Keep five uncooked fireflies in your materials pouch before going indoors.

How do you release the fireflies correctly?

  1. Enter Lasli’s house while she is at home at night and speak to her to start the request.
  2. Open your materials inventory and choose Hold on Sunset Firefly.
  3. Select five together, return to the room and release them near Lasli.
  4. Let her reaction finish, then complete the conversation and receive the Purple Rupee.

Do not release them outdoors and hope they follow you in. A small number can disappear before you add the rest, so releasing the full group together is the simplest approach. If Lasli says there are too few, check the number released and try again before morning.

What comes after the firefly request?

With the fountain photograph, Cucco rescue and firefly request complete, return to Impa’s house. Paya’s report leads into The Stolen Heirloom, which opens the nearby hidden shrine.

The rest of the village errands are separate; see the side quest list if you are clearing Kakariko before traveling onward.

FAQ

How many fireflies do I need?
Five Sunset Fireflies. Hold all five from the materials menu and release them inside Lasli’s house at night.
Why does Lasli not offer the quest?
Finish Find the Fairy Fountain and Flown the Coop, then talk to Lasli after she has returned home and settled in for the night.
Why do the fireflies in my inventory not count?
Lasli wants to watch them in her room. Enter her house, hold the five insects and release them; talking while they remain in your bag is not the final step.
Does this unlock The Stolen Heirloom?
It is one of its village prerequisites. Once the fountain, Cucco and firefly requests are complete, visit Impa’s house and speak to Paya.
