Imp Poe

Template:Enemy Imp Poes are a specific kind of Poe in Twilight Princess. Unlike Poes in other games, Imp Poes can only be fought when Link is in his Wolf form using his senses. To defeat an Imp Poe, strike it twice with a regular attack or once with the charged B-attack. Once the Imp Poe is down, finish it off with the fatal blow and steal its soul.

Twilight Princess

The first Imp Poe that Link encounters in Twilight Princess is located in Jovani's House in Castle Town after Zant has turned Link into a Wolf when Midna is ill. Once the first Imp Poe has been defeated they will start appearing in the overworld (at night only) and in dungeons (day and night). In the Arbiter's Grounds, Link meets four different Poes, called Big Poes. These are stronger than normal ones and all have to be defeated in order to progress. When Link has collected 20 Poe Souls, he can give them to Jovani in exchange for a Bottle filled with Great Fairy's Tears. If Link manages to collect all 60 Poe Souls and deliver them to Jovani, he can get 200 Rupees from Jovani's cat Gengle each time he speaks to it. Jovani will also be cured from the curse.

Trivia

• Imp Poes serve a similar purpose to the Gold Skulltulas in Ocarina of Time.
• The four Imp Poes in Arbiter's Grounds act very similarly to the Poe Sisters in the Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time.
