Twilight Princess: Poe Souls

Poe Soul #1: Jovani’s Basement Bargain

Head towards Castle Town’s East Road, but duck into the side alley closest to it. Follow the alley to find a small alcove on the left, usually filled with cats, leading to a distinct house. Activate your Senses near the house wall to spot a patch of dirt. Dig here to enter Jovani’s gold-filled home and confront your very first Poe.

Poe Soul #2: Foggy Woods Perch

Navigate Faron Woods as if you’re heading to the Forest Temple. Once you reach the clearing thick with purple fog, use Midna’s charge jump ability to leap across the platforms and reach the central tree trunk. A Poe awaits you there.

Poe Soul #3: Barnes’ Bombed Shack

Locate Barnes’ Bomb Shop in Kakariko Village. At night, investigate the wreckage of his supply shed uphill from the shop (the one that blew up earlier). You’ll find a Poe haunting the ruins.

Poe Soul #4: Kakariko Lookout Post

Continue past Barnes’ ruined shed and climb the ramped path leading uphill. Reach the spot where a Goron usually stands guard during the day. At night, a Poe takes his place.

Poe Soul #5: Graveyard Center Stage

Enter the Kakariko Graveyard at night. You’ll spot this easy-to-find Poe floating plainly in the middle area.

Poe Soul #6: Unearthed Spirit

While still in the graveyard, find the gravestone closest to the entrance gate. Grab it and pull it back to reveal a hidden Poe.

Poe Soul #7: Goron Launch Ghost

On Death Mountain, approach the Goron near the path leading upwards. Speak to him (as Human Link) and let him launch you onto the high ledge to the left. Transform into Wolf Link to find and defeat the Poe waiting there.

Poe Soul #8: Faron Field Hilltop Haunt

In the section of Hyrule Field connecting to Faron Woods, head north of the wooden bridge. Climb the nearby hill to find a Poe hovering near the top.

Poe Soul #9: Kakariko Gorge Overlook

Find the wooden bridge spanning the Kakariko Gorge. To the left (west on GC) of the bridge, scale the hill with a lone tree overlooking the area. A Poe haunts this spot near the tree.

Poe Soul #10: Gorge Cave Maze

On the southern edge of the Kakariko Gorge area (opposite the path to Kakariko Village), look for a large boulder blocking a cave entrance. Blow it up with a Bomb. Inside the cave, navigate the maze:

• Wii/HD: Go Left, Left, Right, Right. You’ll find the Poe at the end of the correct path.
• GameCube: Go Right, Right, Left, Left.

Poe Soul #11: Castle Bridge Sentry

Warp to Castle Town and immediately exit West (GC) or East (Wii/HD). Follow the path. You’ll see a large stone bridge ahead. A Poe floats above it. Deal with the nearby Lizalfos first to avoid interruptions.

Poe Souls #12 & 13: Dig Spot Duo

Warp to Castle Town and exit West (GC) or East (Wii/HD) again. Follow the same path towards the stone bridge (where Poe #11 was), but before reaching it, turn left (south). Defeat the Lizalfos guarding this area. Look around for a circular arrangement of tall grass patches. Use your Senses to find the glowing spot and dig into a hidden grotto containing two Poes.

Poe Soul #14: East Gate Apparition

Exit Castle Town through the East Gate (GC) or West Gate (Wii/HD). You’ll find a Poe hovering directly on the large stone bridge just outside the gate at night.

Poe Soul #15: Ruined Field Phantom

Head to the field southwest of Castle Town (south of the West/East gate). You’ll find an area filled with stone ruins and dormant Dominion Rod statues. Descend the steps within these ruins to find a Poe lurking at the bottom.

Poe Soul #16: South Gate Specter

Exit Castle Town via the South Gate, near the Goron selling Hot Spring Water. A Poe waits for you on the stairs next to the large, dry fountain in this area.

Poe Soul #17: Bomb Arrow Ledge

Warp to Castle Town and head south towards Lake Hylia. Cross the Great Bridge of Hylia and continue south across the smaller wooden bridge. Look up to spot a ledge blocked by boulders. Shoot them with Bomb Arrows. Use your Clawshot on the target revealed to reach the ledge and the Poe.

Poe Soul #18: Lakeside Lantern

Stand outside the entrance to the Lanayru Spirit Spring (where the Light Spirit resides). Swim directly across the water to the patch of land opposite the spring entrance. You’ll find a Poe there at night.

Poe Soul #19: Watchtower Ghost

Warp to the Lake Hylia spirit spring warp point. Turn left (west on GC) and follow the path up the slope. Climb the tall ladder leading to the watchtower overlooking the lake. A Poe floats near the top.

Poe Soul #20: Platform Poltergeist

Warp to Lake Hylia again. Carefully jump across the series of raised wooden platforms extending into the lake. Reach the largest platform at the end to find another Poe.

Poe Soul #21: Falbi’s Flight Target

Go to Falbi’s Flight-by-Fowl game shack near the Great Bridge of Hylia. Pay Falbi to launch you with a Cucco. Glide down towards the multi-tiered “Isle of Riches.” Aim for the second-lowest tier (the one with grass and rupees) to find this Poe.

Poe Soul #22: Falbi’s Second Stop

Play Falbi’s Flight-by-Fowl game again. This time, immediately after launching, turn Link around in mid-air to face back towards the mainland cliffs. It’s best to do this at night so you can spot the Poe’s lantern. Glide towards the isolated rocky platform high up on the cliff face to find the Poe.

Poe Souls #23, 24 & 25: Cavern Trio

Head to the southern shore of Lake Hylia, near the Howling Stone location. Look for a large boulder blocking a cave entrance along the cliff wall. Bomb the boulder and enter the cave. Explore this dark cavern thoroughly (use your map!) to find and defeat three separate Poes lurking within.

Poe Soul #26: Riverside Reed Lurker

Warp to Upper Zora’s River. Stand near the Howling Stone. Jump off the edge into the river below and quickly swim to the grassy bank on the opposite side. A Poe hides in the tall grass here.

Poe Soul #27: Zora’s Western Ledge

Warp to Zora’s Domain. Dive off the waterfall cliff into the pool below. Swim west (GC) or east (Wii/HD) along the wall until you find a small ledge you can climb onto (often near where a Golden Bug floats). Pull yourself up to find the Poe.

Poe Soul #28: Behind the Icefall

From the main pool in Zora’s Domain, run towards the icy cavern that leads to Snowpeak. Inside, use Midna’s charge jump ability twice to reach the ledge hidden behind the frozen waterfall. A Poe waits here.

Poe Soul #29: Desert Skull Circle

When you first arrive in the Gerudo Desert (likely via Fyer’s cannon), look around the landing area. You should spot three large beast skulls arranged in a rough circle on the sand. A Poe haunts the center of this formation.

Poe Soul #30: Gerudo Mesa Guardian

Find the Gerudo Mesa warp point (it’s on a high plateau). Look directly below this warp point, near the entrance to the Cave of Ordeals. A Poe floats on a slightly lower rocky platform here.

Poe Soul #31: Clawshot Tree Perch

Head towards the large open area of the desert where Bulblins patrol on Bullbos near watchtowers. Look east (GC) or west (Wii/HD) towards the rocky boundary. Spot a dead-looking tree perched high on a ledge. Use your Clawshot to grapple onto the tree, then drop down onto the platform. You’ll find another Poe near three skulls marking the spot. Its lantern is often visible from afar.

Poe Souls #32 & 33: Buried Below the Skulls

Go back to the location of Poe #31 (the Clawshot tree perch with three skulls). Use your Senses near the skulls to find a dig spot. Dig down into a hidden cavern littered with boulders. Blow up the boulders while fending off the two Poes that attack you inside.

Poe Soul #34: Leever Lair Phantom

Find the sandy alcove tucked away in the northwest (GC) or northeast (Wii/HD) corner of the main desert area, typically swarming with Leevers (sand worm enemies). If you haven’t met him here yet, the Golden Wolf might also appear. Ignore the Leevers as best you can and defeat the Poe in this area.

Poe Soul #35: Bulblin Camp Ghost

Return to the ruined enemy encampment structure where you previously battled King Bulblin on horseback. A Poe now haunts the deserted campsite.

Poe Soul #36: Dungeon Doorstep Specter

Locate the main entrance to the Arbiter’s Grounds dungeon. A Poe floats right outside the doorway.

Poe Soul #37: Cave of Ordeals: Floor 17

Reach the 17th floor of the cave. Defeat all the Stalhounds first. Once the room is clear, switch to Wolf Link, activate your Senses, and take down the Poe.

Poe Soul #38: Cave of Ordeals: Floor 33

Descend to the 33rd floor. You’ll face four Gibdos (mummies). Eliminate them using your preferred tactics. Afterwards, transform into Wolf Link, use your Senses to spot the Poe, and claim its soul.

Poe Soul #39: Cave of Ordeals: Floor 44

Make your way down to the 44th floor. Here, you’ll battle four powerful Dynalfos (armored lizards). Defeat them, then switch to Wolf Link, use your Senses, and defeat the final Cave of Ordeals Poe.

Poe Soul #40: Arbiter’s Grand Hall

Upon entering the large, main chamber of the Arbiter’s Grounds, four Poes will steal the blue flames from the torches, sealing the main door. The first Poe remains floating in this entrance chamber. Defeat it to retrieve one flame.

#41: Arbiter’s Sandy Secret

From the main chamber (after defeating Poe #40), descend the central stairs. Use your Senses to find two purple scent trails left by the Poes. Follow the trail leading into a sand pit near the east (GC) / west (Wii/HD) wall. Dig in the sand where the trail ends to uncover a hidden chain. Pull it to reveal a staircase leading down. The second Poe waits in the room below.

Poe Soul #42: Arbiter’s Chandelier Chase

Continue from Poe #41’s location. Navigate the room filled with quicksand and rotating spike barriers. Find and pull a square block to use as a stepping stone across the sand. Locate and pull another chain to raise a large chandelier, opening the path forward. Proceed into the next main area. The third Poe floats high up in this room, often requiring you to navigate platforms or use the Spinner on wall tracks to reach it. (Its exact location depends on which path you took, but it’s in the large room before the western corridor).

Poe Soul #43: Arbiter’s Fourfold Finale

Navigate the western (GC) or eastern (Wii/HD) wing of the dungeon, solving torch puzzles and defeating Stalfos. Eventually, you’ll open a door leading to the room containing the fourth and final Poe of this dungeon. This Poe will split into four identical copies. Use Wolf Link’s Senses – the real Poe glows purple while the fakes are dimmer. Attack the purple one. Repeat this process until it’s defeated.

Poe Soul #44: Sacred Grove Waterfall Ledge

Return to the area in the Sacred Grove where you chased Skull Kid through the watery section with tunnels and ledges. Find the waterfall. Swim behind or beside it to find a hidden ledge you can climb onto. A Poe waits here.

Poe Soul #45: Under the Grove Boulder

Go to the circular arena area within the Sacred Grove where Skull Kid summoned puppets to attack you. In the center of this area, you’ll find a large boulder that wasn’t there before. Blow it up with a Bomb to reveal a Poe hiding underneath.

Poe Soul #46: Master Sword Sentinel

Make your way to the very back of the Sacred Grove, to the clearing where the Pedestal of Time holding the Master Sword rests. A Poe floats near the pedestal.

Poe Soul #47: Snowpeak Pass Phantom

As you ascend Snowpeak Mountain’s main path, you’ll pass through a narrow gap between two large rocks. Just after emerging from this gap, look to your right (GC) or left (Wii/HD). A Poe appears here at night.

Poe Soul #48: Reekfish Trail Ramp

Follow the Reekfish scent trail up the mountain. At one point, the trail will lead directly up a steep icy cliff face. Instead of climbing straight up, look to your left (GC) or right (Wii/HD). You’ll see a snowy ramp leading upwards alongside the main path. Ascend this ramp. Near a solitary tree at the top of the ramp, a Poe appears at night.

Poe Soul #49: Snowpeak Fork Spirit

Continue following the Reekfish scent trail until you reach a fork in the path. Take the right fork (GC) or left fork (Wii/HD). A Poe waits near the first large tree you encounter along this path at night.

Poe Soul #50: Icy Cave Dweller

Warp to the Snowpeak Top warp point (near where you snowboarded). Head back down into the icy cave connecting the summit to the lower slopes. Proceed through the cave until you find large chunks of breakable ice blocking a small alcove. Smash the ice with your Ball and Chain to uncover a Poe.

Poe Soul #51: Snowpeak Summit Spiral

Right outside the main entrance to the Snowpeak Ruins mansion, look for a spiraling snowy hill you can climb. Ascend to the very top of this hill to find a Poe appearing at night.

Poe Soul #52: Ruins Entrance Hall

Enter the Snowpeak Ruins. This Poe is floating right in the middle of the main entrance hall, near the fireplace.

Poe Soul #53: Armored Ambush

After obtaining the Ball and Chain within the dungeon, return to the room lined with suits of armor (often near the kitchen or main hall). Use the Ball and Chain to smash the suits of armor. The Poe is hidden inside the middle suit of armor on one of the walls.

Poe Soul #54: Slippery Second Floor

Navigate to the second floor of the mansion. Find the room where the floor is completely covered in slippery ice. A Poe haunts this room. Be careful fighting it, as the icy physics make movement treacherous.

Poe Soul #55: Temple Statue Secret

In the very first large room of the Temple of Time (the one with the large staircase and two movable statues flanking the entrance door), use the Dominion Rod to move one of the large statues away from the wall. A Poe is hidden in an alcove behind one of them (the specific side might vary between versions, check both).

Poe Soul #56: Golden Gate Guardian

Ascend to the third floor of the Temple. Find the room with a large golden gate blocking an alcove. If you’re here during your first run, use the large statue you escort to smash the gate. If you’re returning later, use the Dominion Rod to carry one of the small statues onto the floor switch in front of the gate to open it. The Poe is inside the alcove.

Poe Soul #57: Temple Scale Spinner

Reach the seventh floor of the Temple, specifically the room containing the large balance scale puzzle. Place enough weight (small statues moved with the Dominion Rod) onto one side of the scale to raise the other side significantly. Climb onto the raised side. Look up towards the center of the ceiling and use your Clawshot to reach a higher ledge. From there, use the Spinner on the wall tracks to reach a small, hidden platform where the Poe floats.

Poe Soul #58: Hidden Village Rooftop

Enter the Hidden Village at night. Look immediately to your right (GC) or left (Wii/HD). Spot the Poe hanging out on the canvas awning above the porch of the closest building. To reach it, stand back and use your Clawshot to grapple onto the netting on the side of the building’s upper level, then pull yourself up.

Poe Soul #59: City in the Sky: Peahat Perch

Navigate the dungeon until you reach the large outdoor area where you must use the Double Clawshots to grapple between flying Peahats. Target the first Peahat, then grapple to a second Peahat hovering above a small, enclosed circular platform with a large tree in the center. Drop down onto this platform. Even though it appears bright, a Poe waits for you here.

Poe Soul #60: City in the Sky: Tightrope Terror

After acquiring the Big Key (or returning later), proceed through the large room with the giant central fan. Exit this room to another large outdoor area. You’ll see sections connected by tightropes. Carefully walk across the tightropes (as Human Link) to reach an outer platform where the final Poe is hovering over the ledge.
