Zelda Tears of the Kingdom - The Flute Player's Plan Walkthrough

The Flute Player’s Plan is a Side Adventure quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TotK). This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of The Flute Player’s Plan side adventure mission.

Location: Faron > Highland Stable > On a tree north of the Stable
Quest Giver: Pyper
Requirement: Started Side Adventure: Serenade to Kaysa (it’s a sub-adventure of this)
Reward: Big Hearty Truffle (restores 3 health)
Quest Info: Pyper tried to make the glowing tree of Haite’s dreams by lighting it on fire, but his efforts turned to ash. Now he’s fired up to try again using fireflies. He needs 10 sunset fireflies for his next attempt.

Objectives:

Catch 10 Sunset Fireflies
Bring Haite to Pyper at Night

Starting Location: The Flute Player’s Plan

To trigger this you must first accept Side Adventure: Serenade to Kaysa. Then travel to Highland Stable in Faron and climb on top of nearest tree to the north. There you find a flautist named Piper, talk to him and pick the first dialogue to begin this sub-adventure.

Catch 10 Sunset Fireflies

Pyper wants you to locate 10 Sunset Fireflies. First, you must wait until nighttime. If it’s not raining you can use the campfire in front of the stable. If it is raining, fast travel to Lookout Landing and sleep there in the bunker.

At night, head to Pagos Woods north of the quest giver. Follow the main road through Pagos Woods as seen on the map. There will be little green fireflies flying along the road. Crouch by pressing the left stick to sneak up to them and catch 10 of them.

Sunset Fireflies Location:

Alternatively, you can also buy 3 of 10 Fireflies from the wandering merchant at Highland Stable where the quest started, they cost 10 rupees each. But you’ll find more than enough in Pagos Woods for free.

Keep track in the inventory how many you got. Then return to Pyper to deliver the fireflies.

Bring Haite to Pyper at Night

Pyper will task you with bringing Haite to him. He wants to surprise her by making the tree glow with fireflies at night.

Haite is found at Highland Stable, just south of where you talked to Pyper. At night she is usually sitting inside the stable, in the middle, on the floor. Other times she may be found outside the stable in the garden where the animal feeders are. She looks like a little girl wearing red clothes and a red hat.

Say “Hi Follow me, please!”. There can be a few complications that make Pyper refuse to come with you:

If it’s rainy and she says “not in this weather”, fast travel to Lookout Landing and sleep in the beds in the bunker until Night. Then come back and repeat until it’s not raining.
If Haite is sleeping and doesn’t talk to you, or refuses for some other reason, do the same and travel to Lookout Landing to sleep until next night and check again.

After Haite agrees to follow you, simply walk back outside to the quest marker where Pyper was standing. Then a dialogue will automatically trigger and Pyper summons the fireflies to impress Haite.
