One such type of item that you may come across during your time within TheDepths of Hyruleis the manyPoesyou can collect.

Updated by Erin Rice on July 26, 2025:After exploring The Depths in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you may begin to notice that areas in The Depths are easier to find Poes in than others. This added those locations to a section. It also added some relevant links.
What Are Poes?
While exploring The Depths,you can find blue flames floating around. These are known as Poes.Their description says, “A glowing spirit orb found all over the Depths. Offer these to a Bargainer Statue for a variety of rewards.”
TheBargainer Statuteswill describe the Poes as beingwandering spirits. These spirits are found all over the place and can be exchanged for different items. You can find regularPoes, which offer 1 Poe. You can also findLarge Poesthat offer 5 Poes. The last type of Poe is theGrand Poe, which offers 20 Poes.
Where To Find Poes
Poes are found within The Depths. It seems that they are in certain locations around the map. you may find them scattered around the area. They are more prevalent around the many different abandoned mines and at the bottom of chasms. You are also bound to find somesitting around the Monster campsin The Depths. Their bright blue color makes them stand out against the darkness in The Depths.
Do Poes Respawn?
One important quest about farming Poes is if they respawn or not.Thankfully, they do have fixed locations, meaning that if you were to leave and come back to The Depths, you could find them in the same places.This makes it easier to farm a lot of Poes at once. They will respawn every 2 days in-game. However, it seems that resting at a fire or sleeping at an inn does not speed this process up. If you leave The Depths and go exploring for a while, you can come back to find more Poes.
Tips On Finding Poes
Poes can be found throughout The Depths. The Large Poes and Grand Poes can sometimes be difficult to find, making it seem like a long time before you amass a good amount of Poes. If you want to make this quicker, there are a few things you may try.If you travel to any of the larger abandoned mines, you can find a ton of Poes on top of these areas.You’ll need to use your Ascend Ability to reach these areas. There are 10 of these mines in total.
Additionally, if you are traveling around The Depths, you’re able to use different methods to shield surf over the Gloom, so you don’t lose Hearts.
Best Farming Places For Poes
If you want to farm for Poes but don’t know where to start, you may travel to The Depths below Central Hyrule. While Poes seem to be scattered around randomly, there is an abundance in this region that doesn’t seem to be in any other region, making it the best place to farm for Poes that isn’t an Abandoned Mine.
What Are Bargainer Statues?
The Bargainer Statues are where you can trade Poes for items. You will find your first one inLookout Landing. It is over by Robbie and Josha. When you approach it, all it will say is “Poes…”
Once you have found Poes in The Depths, you’re able to bargain with it. When speaking to it, it will tell you of its brethren. These are other Bargainer Statues that are hidden within The Depths.You can find 6 of these there, making seven total (including the one in Lookout Landing).
