Exploring the expansive subterranean realm in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom introduces players to various unique resources, with Poes being among the most important. These glowing blue, green, and red spirit wisps act as an essential underground currency rather than aggressive enemies. Understanding how to collect and trade them effectively can significantly enhance your survival capabilities during long subterranean expeditions.
Where to Find and Collect Poes
Poes are scattered throughout the vast underground region known as the Depths. Standard blue Poes are worth one soul, while larger green and red variants yield five and twenty units respectively. Players looking to gather large stockpiles quickly should target abandoned mine sites and plateau areas where high densities naturally spawn.
Locating Bargainer Statues
To spend accumulated Poes, Link must offer them to ancient entities known as Bargainer Statues. The first statue can be encountered at Lookout Landing on the surface, offering general advice and basic items. By offering Poes to the surface statue, players can receive map locations pointing directly toward larger statues hidden throughout the Depths.
Unlocking Unique Armor and Supplies
Each newly discovered Bargainer Statue expands the inventory available for purchase across all statue locations. Players can exchange Poes for valuable survival gear like the Gloom Resistance armor set, as well as essential combat items including Bomb Flowers, Muddle Buds, and Puffshrooms. Furthermore, special weapons and iconic armor previously obtained from chests can be repurchased using Poes if they break or are lost.
Maximizing Your Poe Currency Economy
Beyond purchasing rare equipment, savvy players use extra Poes as a reliable source of surface income. Excess armor pieces bought with Poes can be sold to surface merchants for substantial amounts of rupees. Managing your Poe reserves effectively ensures that you remain well-stocked with vital consumables without depleting your primary rupee reserves.
