TotK Serenade to Cotera: Find Beetz and Ferry the Band

What do you need for Cotera’s serenade?

Recover the drummer, then ferry the whole wagon across the river. Serenade to Cotera in Tears of the Kingdom starts with Mastro at Dueling Peaks Stable after Tera has opened. Cotera is waiting for drum music, so the transport stage cannot replace Beetz’s earlier quest.

How do you get the drummer back?

Mastro points you toward the drumming heard along the road south of Kakariko Village. Find Beetz near the bend by Bonooru’s Stand and give him three Courser Bee Honey. He wants the raw ingredient for his own crepes, not a finished dish.

After Beetz returns, speak with Mastro at Dueling Peaks Stable. The troupe moves down to the river to investigate the crossing; follow them there.

How do you build the raft?

1. Use nearby building materials to make a broad, level floating base.
2. Attach Fans so they push the raft toward the opposite bank, with a Steering Stick in a reachable position.
3. Lift the troupe’s wagon onto the middle of the raft and attach it securely. Keep its wheels and weight balanced around the center.
4. Position the raft at the bank where the musicians can board, then talk to Mastro.
5. Once everyone is seated, take the Steering Stick and cross slowly. Adjust your approach so the raft reaches the landing near the fountain without ramming it sideways.

You are transporting the wagon and its passengers together. A fast vehicle that leaves the musicians behind cannot complete the quest. If the cart rolls off the base, correct its attachment before trying again. More construction help is in vehicle builds.

How do you finish at the fountain?

Bring the raft and troupe to the landing by Cotera. Keep the wagon upright and move close enough for the arrival sequence. The musicians perform, and Cotera emerges from her flower bud.

What is the reward?

Cotera becomes available for armor enhancement, and Mastro gives a rupee thank-you. Each fountain opened adds an upgrade tier shared by all open Great Fairies; it does not give free upgrades. You still need each piece’s materials and payment.
