TotK Poe Farming: Best Spots, Grand Poes, Bargainer Statue Costs

Poes are the currency of the Depths in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, spent at Bargainer Statues on armor, materials and lost weapons. Their description reads: “A glowing spirit orb found all over the Depths. Offer these to a Bargainer Statue for a variety of rewards.” Using the game’s placement data, this page counts how many Poes the Depths hold, where they are densest, and where the Grand Poes hide. Statue locations and prices: Bargainer Statues.

How many kinds of Poe are there, and how many in all?

Counts are from the game’s placement data. All the Bargainer Statue armor together costs 1,700 Poes (see below), so there is no need to collect everything; work the dense areas.

Where are the most Poes?

Poes are spread across the whole Depths, often in clusters. These are the spots with the most Poes within a 500 m radius, from the placement data (Large and Grand Poes counted at their value):

The first and last are the best value: both the Central Mine and the Wellspring of Courage have a Bargainer Statue, so you can spend on the spot. The Central Mine statue only trades after the quest “A Call from the Depths”; see Bargainer Statues.

Where are the Grand Poes?

There are only 52 Grand Poes in the Depths, each worth 20 Poes. Like Large Poes, they are usually placed up high or somewhere awkward to reach. By the placement data, 20 Grand Poes lie within 300 m of the ten mines that have a Forge Construct:

Another 6 are within 500 m of the Construct Factory. In a mine, climb high and look down: the biggest flame with a pink tinge is a Grand Poe.

How do you collect Poes faster?

• Look in the dark first. Poes glow, so in unlit areas you can see them from far away; spot a group, then go.
• Mark Large and Grand Poes. The Depths are easy to get lost in; drop a stamp on the map before heading over.
• Combine trips. Every mine has a Forge Construct, so trade your zonaite while you are there; see zonaite farming.
• Move on, then come back. Poes you collect come back after a while, so the same route works again later.

How many Poes do you need, and what should you buy first?

If you spend a lot of time in the Depths, buy the Tunic of the Depths first: every Depths set piece has gloom resistance. See the Depths set. Armor unlocks one piece at a time as you find more statues; the order is on the Bargainer Statues page.
