Twilight Princess Poe Locations

Twilight Princess Poe LocationsHow to identify a poe – Your first poe is in Jovani’s house. (This is on the way to the castle after beating the Lakebed Temple), after that one is killed you will start seeing little purple lanterns pop up all over Hyrule (As long as you’re still Link, if you use your “wolf sense” then you will be able to see the whole poe.) Most poes appear to look alike: small, blue, floating and child-like, and they’re always holding a huge scythe. (Note: The four poes you encounter in Arbiter Grounds are different!) On another note, poes usually only come out at night so it’s probably best to hunt for them at night!

Obviously you have to kill these poes, definitely easier to do as a wolf using your sense to see them! Once you kill a poe you gain their soul. 20 of these souls will give you a Bottle of Fairy Tears. There are 60 poes in all, kill each one and you get a nice silver rupee (this equals 200 rupees by the way!), and an infinite supply of rupees from Gengle, Jovani’s cat, he manages to cough some up every time you talk to him, and last but not least you get the satisfaction of completing yet another of the random side quests that Zelda Twilight Princess has to offer.

So where are these poes you may ask? Well this guide is meant to show you where these little poes are and how to steal their souls, I’ve separated this guide into regions but not in any particular order.
So let’s get hunting! (Note: I already said the first poe is in Jovani’s house so we’ll start with the next one, and the numbers will only go up to 59)

Twilight Princess Poe Locations

Faron Province
Sacred Grove:

  • 1. Go into the hollowed out stump and find a small area which is Skull Kid’s hideout, the poe is located in the area with a small pool of water and a waterfall is running over the entrance.
  • 2. This one is where you meet Skull Kid in the main temple area (Where he is beaten before you’re given access to the master sword). All you need to do is first make sure you’re Link and then blow up the rock in the middle of the area to reveal a poe. Kill the sucker and receive your 3rd poe soul.
  • 3. This poe can be found after completing the Temple Of Time, go back to the place where you acquired the master sword and there should be a poe floating around.

Faron Woods:

  • 4. Go to the Poisonous Swamp area and use Midna to jump around until you come to a hollowed out stump. There should be a poe floating around in there.

Hyrule Field:

  • 5. Right upon exiting the Faron Woods, you come on a stretch of land, the area near two big bodies of water holds a poe.

Eldin Province:
Kakariko Village:

  • 6. Remember Barnes Bomb Shop‘s Supply House? The thing you blew up here once as a wolf? Well climb to the wreckage at night as a wolf to see a poe.
  • 7. If you’re standing at the wreckage of what used to be a supply house, the next poe is just up the hill from there. Continue up the hill until you get to Talo’s lookout. There is a poe waiting on the porch just before you enter the building.
  • 8. This 3rd poe is pretty simple to get and seems pretty typical for a spirit. That’s right! You’ll find this poe smack-dab in the middle of the graveyard at night.
  • 9. This poe is also located in the graveyard. At night, push the grave in the southeast corner and a poe will pop out. Kill it and collect your prize.

Death Mountain:

  • 10. Make sure you have the Gorons on your side before completing this task. Climb the trail at night and use the second Goron to send you flying to the cliff to the right of him. Up there you’ll find a poe, but be warned, you’re on a cliff and might fall off if you’re not careful!

Kakariko Gorge:

  • 11. Stand on the bridge and look east, you’ll see a cliff that seems it can reached by going south then climbing. Upon arrival to the top you’ll see a tree and a poe out in the open.

Kakariko Gorge/Lantern Cavern:

  • 12. South of the gorge you’ll come to a boulder in a wall. Well, obviously you bomb it to reveal a cavern, enter the cavern. (Note: You might really want a full lantern for this!) Follow a semi-northwest path and eventually you’ll come to a room-like area and you’ll find a poe.

Hidden Village:

  • 13. Go in there at night and look to the left. On the balcony there is a poe being all poeish, on the left of it there is a net. Grapple onto it and climb up.

Lake Hylia:

  • 15. Head to the Howling Stone and look south, like in the Gourge, there is a boulder blocking yet another cavern. This cavern is a little longer so stock up your oil! Looking at your map the poe is early on and in the southwest corner of it.
  • 16. This poe is also in the cavern, it’s located halfway through the winding path. Looking at the map it’s in the far north corner of the cavern.
  • 17. This last poe in the cavern is in the very back near a glowing exit. Looking at your map it’s northeast from the first poe.
  • 18. This poe is located on the first prize floor in Falbi’s Flight-by-Foul game. You can reach your destination by Hyrule Field or Fyer’s Cannon. Play the game for 20 Rupees at night and find the poe however watch for the platforms or you’ll fall off and have to start over.

  • 27. In that same area as before head to the most eastern part of your map and in between two trees, you’ll find a clump of dirt. Turn into a wolf and dig that area. Then you’ll find a cavern with Babas and actually two poe souls.
