Deep Fireflies in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom resides in the darkest part of Hyrule, the depths. This elusive insect has multiple uses, from upgrading specific armor to creating a unique elixir.
In this guide, we will tell you how to catch Deep fireflies and how you can use them to craft recipes that will allow you to survive the darkness.
Where to find the Deep Fireflies
There are only a few spots where you can find these Deep fireflies. Most of the Deep Firefly spot also hosts some bosses and challenging enemies. So, you should be equipped with proper armor and weapons to fight them.
Catching the Deep Fireflies in Zelda: TotK is a simple job. All you have to do is move slowly and get near the Deep Firefly to catch it.
Floria Canyon Mines
The first spot to look for the Deep Fireflies is in the depths west of Floria Canyon Mines. Once you reach here, you can find multiple Deep Fireflies flying around.
Great Abandoned Central Mine
In the depths, the Deep Fireflies are around the south side of the Great Abandoned Central Mine. If you get there from the central area, you will also encounter Master Kohga here in Zelda: TotK.
Floating Coliseum
The Deep Fireflies are west of the Flaoting Coliseum. However, you should be very careful here as there are multiple silver, blue, and red-maned Lynel.
Kara Kara Abandoned Mine
The Deep Fireflies clusters in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom also spawn south of Kara Kara Abandoned Mine in the Depths. Here, you might face Moblin monsters, so be prepared.
Deep Firefly Uses
Deep Fireflies are an ingredient in the Bright Elixir when cooked with monster parts, allowing you to see in the dark environment of the Depths. However, we don’t recommend it, as farming and using Brightbloom seeds in the depths is a more practical and permanent solution to dispel the darkness.
You can even use them to upgrade the Miner Outfit and Depths Armor set at the Great Fairy Fountain. You will need 1 Deep Firefly for the Depths Armor set and 10 Deep Fireflies to successfully upgrade the Miner Outfit to 3 stars.
Deep Fireflies have a unique glowing effect, but you can’t use them to cook a meal that can restore your health. Their Hyrule Compendium Number is 85; you must take their picture to complete the compendium for Robbie.
