Fallen stars
The Sunset Firefly is handy for mixing into Elixirs that make you move more stealthily. However, thatās probably not why you want to get your hands on some. No. Thereās a specific quest you need Sunset Fireflies for, and itās needed to get access to one of the great fairies. The quest is āThe Flute Playerās Plan,ā and it requires that you get your hands on 10 Sunset Fireflies to complete.
Theyāre not exactly easy to find. You have to be looking in the right spots and at the right time of day. You also need to know what youāre actually looking for. We can help you with all of those things.

First things first, Sunset Fireflies only show up at night. Though they have āsunsetā in their name, thatās not when theyāre at their prime. You probably want to wait until around midnight. They also donāt show up when itās raining. Being at the mercy of nature can be inconvenient, but those are the rules.
Now you just need to know where to look. You can scratch off anywhere too hot or too cold, which actually covers huge swaths of Hyrule. To be more specific, you should be checking in areas where there are both lots of trees and a bit of water. For an example, I headed out to Linebeck Island that is to the East of Hyrule Castle in a large body of shallow wetlands. However, they frequently appear in just about any wooded area with a bit of water.
Now that your knee deep in stagnant water in the middle of the night, take a peek around. Youāre looking for little green glowing dots. Those are what you want to scoop up. You can run into groups of them, mashing the button, and probably get a few. However, theyāll likely just float up higher and out of your reach. Instead, it might be more prudent to sneak up on them, like you would with most insects or lizards you aim to catch.
Thankfully, itās not too difficult to find large groups of them. You shouldnāt have to look too hard to fill your pockets with Sunset Fireflies and complete the quest.
