Twilight Princess tips and tricks

Poe Souls

Index of Tips and Tricks  •  Complete Walkthrough


When you are a wolf and must visit Princess Zelda for the second time, you will meet Jovani, a man living in the castle town, who sold his soul. To help him, he asks you to find 20 Imp Poes scattered throughout Hyrule and to capture their soul so he can recover his.

So as soon as you spot a moving light, turn into a wolf, use your enhanced senses and fight the poe to get its soul. Outside, poes only appear at night!

After finding 20 souls, go back to Jovani and talk to him so he will offer you Great Fairy's Tears. At this moment he will ask you to find the 40 remaining souls to fully free him.
