Bargainer Statues will allow you to trade Poes for useful items, including the Gloom resistant clothing set, in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

The problem is you’ve got to find them first and this is made more troublesome by the fact that many of the Bargainer Statues are located in The Depths - the dark underworld of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Thankfully you’ll be able to find Poes - a Bargainer Statue’s currency of choice - as you search for them.

To help you out, we’ve listed the Bargainer Statue locations we’ve found so far below, along with tips on how to find both Bargainer Statues and Poes in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

How to find Bargainer Statues in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Now we’re onto the meat of the problem. It is really tough to find Bargainer Statues in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. First, you’re stumbling around in the dark; second, you have very limited means of tracking them; and third, the sheer verticality of the depths and the fact that they can be anywhere with a surface means that you have a lot of searching to do. Oh, and they vary in size, too.

The first and easiest way to find them is by talking to the mini Bargainer Statue in Lookout Landing. It will sell you the location of a statue for what starts as a reasonable 10 Poe.

However, ask again and he will charge you a whopping 100 Poe. Naturally, this is where we encourage you to game the system.

First, head to the mini Bargainer Statue and save your game. Give him the 10 Poes and watch him mark the location on your map.

Take a screenshot of this, making a mental note of what’s around it, and then load your most recent save. Immediately put a pin in the map where the Bargainer statue was. If you need to compare the two, you can always screenshot your pin and compare the two in the Switch’s screenshot album.

Is it in the lost spirit of things? No. Will it save you a bunch of time and effort? Absolutely.

Tips for finding Bargainer Statues in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

Now that you know the basics, we have a few last tips for finding Bargainer Statues in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

First, if you want to save a lot of time, effort and Poes, use the mini statue cheat above.

Second, if you have Riju’s Avatar, her ability actually (perhaps accidentally) gives a topographical scan of the depths, illuminating the pitch-black earth in golden light. It feels a little ‘Batman Detective Vision’, but it really speeds up your exploration of the depths.

Third, when you find yourself in the vicinity of a statue, the game will give you a big ol’ hint, like you see below. These will either say X Bargainer Statue’ or 'Wellspring of Y'. If you see either of these banners, you’re on the right track.

How to find Poes in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

The Gloom mechanic may seem simple, but in adding a new currency to Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it actually adds several mechanics rolled into one giant system.

Poes are lost souls trapped in the Depths below Hyrule. You can see them as you walk around — they’re the little blue wisps you see floating in little flocks of fire.

They’re perfectly harmless, easy to spot (even from a distance), and you need a lot of them, so grab as many as you can as you explore the Depths.

The little blue dots in the distance are Poes.

It’s also worth noting that, just like Rupees, there are varying flavour of Poe, including the Large Poe and Grand Poe, which are worth 5 and 20 Poe respectively!
