How do you help the flute player?

Give Pyper ten Sunset Fireflies, then bring Haite to his tree on a clear night. The Flute Player’s Plan in Tears of the Kingdom is a separate musician quest. It supplies the missing flautist for Serenade to Kaysa.

ItemDetails

IngredientTen Sunset Fireflies, kept as live insects in your materials pouch
Second stageBring Haite from the stable to Pyper after nightfall, in clear weather

Fairy prerequisiteKaysa’s own serenade also requires Tera’s fountain to be open

Climb the tree to speak to Pyper. Standing below him may leave you hearing the flute without reaching the conversation.

Sunset Fireflies are the insects Pyper needs.

Where should you look for Sunset Fireflies?

Pyper points toward the forest north of Highland Stable. Search after dark, when the insects’ lights are visible. Walk slowly or crouch as you approach: sprinting through the group makes them flee.

Sunset Fireflies glow at night; approach slowly and take them one by one.

The request is for Sunset Fireflies, not Deep Fireflies. Do not cook them into an elixir or release them from the inventory; keep them as materials until you can hand over all ten. If you already have the correct insects, you can use those.

See the Sunset Firefly page for the item, and stealth equipment if you want help approaching insects quietly. Special armor is optional.

How do you bring Haite to the tree?

  1. Return to Pyper and hand in all ten Sunset Fireflies through dialogue.
  2. Wait until night. Pick a clear evening; Pyper postpones the display in bad weather.
  3. Find Haite at Highland Stable while she is awake and invite her to follow you.
  4. Walk back to Pyper’s tree without racing far ahead. Let Haite reach the tree so the performance can start.
  5. Finish the conversation after the display and collect Pyper’s thank-you gift.

Waiting until very late can leave Haite asleep. If that happens, try another evening. Rain is a separate reason to postpone the event even when it is already dark.

Where does Pyper go afterward?

The completed performance persuades him to return to the Stable Trotters. Go to Mastro at Outskirt Stable for Serenade to Kaysa. You still need to build the vehicle and take the troupe over the blocked road; the firefly display alone does not open Kaysa’s fountain.

For the rest of the chain, use Great Fairies and all Side Adventures.

FAQ

How many fireflies does Pyper need?
Ten Sunset Fireflies. Deep Fireflies from the Depths are a different creature and do not meet the request.
Why will Haite not follow me?
First give Pyper all ten fireflies. Bring Haite after nightfall while she is awake, and choose a night without rain.
Do I release the insects beside the tree?
No. Hand the ten Sunset Fireflies to Pyper through dialogue. His performance handles the release.
Does the quest open Kaysa immediately?
No. Pyper returns to the band, but you must still finish Serenade to Kaysa at Outskirt Stable and transport the troupe.
