The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess/Poe Souls

There are 60 poe souls scattered throughout Hyrule. Location and strategy to find these souls are listed below. Please note that all east/west directions are reversed (east becomes west, west becomes east) for the GameCube version.

Finding 20 Poes will grant you a bottle filled with Fairy Tears when you visit Jovani in town, although refills will require defeating the Cave of Ordeals. Finding all 60 Poes will grant you 200 rupies every time you visit his cat.


 * 1) Castle Town: The first Poe Soul you will discover belongs to a ghost that haunts Jovani's house on the west side of Castle Town. He'll give you instructions on how to collect it: use your canine senses to track it down, then attack.
 * 2) Lantern Cavern 2: The cave south of Lake Hylia's howling stone is a long winding passage (don't forget your lantern). You'll find the first of three souls early on.
 * 3) Lantern Cavern 2: The second poe in the cave is about halfway through your journey. A visual cue of a floating lantern on the screen will tell you when you have reached the elusive soul.
 * 4) Lantern Cavern 2: The final chamber of the cavern contains the third soul. Collect it before you head out through the exit.
 * 5) Gerudo Desert: Return at night to the place where you fought the big guy with the axe. The poe will be waiting for you there.
 * 6) Gerudo Desert: While you're walking up the steps to the Arbiter's Grounds entrance, go east at the mezzanine. If it's night, you'll see a floating lantern in the distance. Follow the light to find the poe.
 * 7) Arbiter's Grounds: Four poes enter the first floor's central chamber. Three of them leave, so take the remaining one.
 * 8) Arbiter's Grounds: The second poe is in a round room in the dungeon's northwest section. You'll find it after emerging from the basement.
 * 9) Arbiter's Grounds: After you fight some skeletons and redeads in a room filled with sinking sand, you'll dig up a chain. Pull it to reveal the third poe.
 * 10) Arbiter's Grounds: The final poe is just east of the central chamber. When you encounter it, it makes three copies of itself. The real one is brighter than the others.
 * 11) Snowpeak Area: Climb to the top of the snow and ice bluff that lies southwest of the ruins entrance in canine form. Engage the poe there and avoid falling off the bluff's edge.
 * 12) Snowpeak Ruins: There is a lantern in the foyer that is usually floating over ice. You should know the routine by now.
 * 13) Snowpeak Ruins: When you get to the southwestern room on the second floor with your ball and chain, use the tool to break the ice barrier on the west wall. You will reveal a poe in an alcove.
 * 14) Snowpeak Ruins: As soon as you walk into the ruins, you'll see three suits of armor on each of the east and west entryway walls. Destroy the middle one on the west side by hitting with the ball and chain twice. You'll find a poe for your troubles.
 * 15) Sacred Woods: There is a poe in the maze where you chased skull kid. The ghost floats over on top of a large, hollowed out stump. You will need to pass under a waterfall and climb roots to get to it.
 * 16) Temple of Time: When you get to the sixth-floor scale room, you'll use small statues as weights to make the scales tip and give you enough height to grapple to the room's center. Use the spinner to get to the western ledge directly above the scale, where a poe awaits.
 * 17) Temple of Time: A poe is behind a gold gate on the east side of the third-floor elevator room. Use the dominion rod to guide a small statue to a floor switch on the other side of the gate, allowing you access to the poe.
 * 18) Temple of Time: Use the dominion rod to move a statue imbedded into the wall of the opening chamber's southeast corner. A poe lantern will fly out and allow you to attack it.
 * 19) City in the Sky: Use the flying plants to reach the east wing of the thrid floor.
 * 20) City in the Sky: There is a poe in the room with the big key. Climb ivy as a human and walk ropes as a wolf to reach the east side of the fourth floor's central room. The poe is near a treasure chest on a platform.
 * 21) Sacred Grove: Travel east of the main temple grounds to the site of the first skull kid standoff. Use a bomb to destroy a giant rock, exposing a poe lantern.
 * 22) Sacred Grove: After you're out of the Temple of Time, return to the place where you collected the master sword. A poe is floating right out in the open.
 * 23) Kakariko Village: Enter Barnes Bomb Shop, climb the stairs, and go through the exit on the top floor. Climb up to the bombed-out storage building from there. If it's nighttime, you'll discover a poe floating over the wreakage.
 * 24) Kakariko Village: Go up the hill from the bombed-out building at night. A porch to the building up there will contain a ghostly greeting.
 * 25) Kakariko Village: There is a poe in the graveyard at night.
 * 26) Death Mountain: While you're walking the trail from Kakariko Village to the goron camp, get a boost from a goron and grab a ledge to the east. If it's night, there will be a poe lantern to the south.
 * 27) Snowpeak Area: A poe tends to hover near a tree in the southern-central part of the area.
 * 28) Snowpeak Area: Just down the slope from soul #27, a poe haunts the area around a very large rock.
 * 29) Snowpeak Cave: There is a poe on the other side of an icy wall in the cave at the top of the mountain. The ball and chain can do wonders with the wall, and your wolf form can do wonders with the poe.
 * 30) Zora's Waterfall: After you ride down the waterfall, climb up an incline on the west side. A poe lantern will illuminate the edge if it is dark outside.
 * 31) Zora's Domain: When you're in wolf form, use Midna's help to hop up a collection of cliffs, from the east side of the pool to the north side. A nocturnal poe rests in one of the gaps.
 * 32) Zora's River: The poe is found in a grassy knoll on the south side of the Zora's River area at night.
 * 33) Hyrule Field: There is a stone bridge in Hyrule Field just north of the castle. Cross the span at night to locate a poe.
 * 34) Hyrule Field: East of that same bridge from #33, there is a ring of tall grass tufts close to a pair of trees. Use your senses and dig into the center of the ring. You will drop into a cave where you will find poes #34 and #35.
 * 35) Hyrule Field: See above clue.
 * 36) Hyrule Field: Walk to the top of a cliff east of the bridge in Kakariko Gorge at night. The floating lantern is by a tree.

 * 39) Hyrule Field: During the night, this poe floats over a small cliff just north of a shallow body of water in the section between Castle Town and Faron Woods.
 * 40) Hyrule Field: Go southeast from the Castle Town warp portal. After a short hill, you will arrive at the ampitheater. The night's entertainment consists of you ripping the soul out of a poe.
 * 41) Lake Hylia: This poe is on the first-prize platform for Falbi's Flight-by-Fowl challenge at night. Stay away from the edge when fighting this poe.
 * 42) Lake Hylia: The floating lantern is over the patch of land on the west side of the lake at night.
 * 43) Lake Hylia: Explore the grassy ledges of the south shore at night. You'll see the lantern once you get near the center, just go to it and grab the wee ghosty.
 * 44) Lake Hylia: There is a poe on a ledge midway up the lake's north wall, directly below the flight-by-fowl station. Rocket up to Falbi's place, accept the challenge, then do a U-turn as you drop. If it's night, you'll see your friendly neighborhood lantern on the ledge.
 * 45) Lake Hylia: Climb up to the base of the lookout tower in the lake's southeast section. The poe is there.
 * 46) Gerudo Desert: Use the clawshot to grapple to a tree on a bluff due west of the enemy encampment. A poe floats over three skulls at night.

 * 48) Gerudo Desert: This poe will attack after you defeat #47 in the same cave.
 * 49) Gerudo Desert: There are narrow, sandy paths between the main desert and the enemy encampment in the northeast. Follow the path to the east at night, where you will be ambushed by some enemies and a poe.

 * 51) Gerudo Desert: South of the place where you land after rocketing to the desert (on the west end), you'll find a large rock. Go there at night to find a poe.
 * 52) Cave of Ordeals: The first poe in the cave is on the 17th floor. Fight it after you defeat the other enemies.

 * 57) Snowpeak Area: Explore the Reekfish scent trail between #27 and the Snowpeak Cave. The ghost haunts a tree.
 * 58) Hyrule Field: Travel northeast from Faron into Lanayru Province, and onto a winding path. Before you cross a bridge, examine the eastern cliff for a chest. Use bomb arrows to destroy rocks on the cliffs and expose grappling spots. Climb up to the chest and a poe.
