Quest Overview
The Bargainer Statue at Lookout Landing mentions that Large Poes are gathering in unusual clusters in five specific Depths regions. A scholar studying Poe behavior asks Link to visit each cluster, observe the pattern, and collect a small Poe sample from each site. The gathered data reveals a migration pattern tied to Gloom concentrations. Completing all five observations earns a significant Poe currency bonus and unlocks a special item at the Bargainer Statue's shop.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough
1
Accept the Poe Research Assignment
A Depths scholar near the Lookout Landing Bargainer Statue has noticed that Large Poes — the rarer, more valuable variants — tend to cluster near specific Depths formations. He marks five coordinates on the Purah Pad and offers a significant Poe currency bonus if Link visits each cluster and records observations. Large Poes yield 5 Poes each on defeat versus 1 for regular Poes.
2
Visit Five Poe Cluster Sites
Navigate to each marked Depths location. Activate nearby Lightroots first to illuminate the area before engaging Poes. Large Poe clusters appear near high-Gloom formations — wear Gloom-resistant armor or bring Sundelion food. Each site has 3-5 Large Poes to defeat. Collect all Poes from each cluster before moving to the next.
3
Report Findings and Claim Reward
Return to the scholar with data from all five sites. He synthesizes the observations: Large Poes migrate toward concentrated Gloom sources, possibly feeding on negative energy. His research paper is complete. As reward, he provides a large Poe currency bonus (50 additional Poes credited to your account) and unlocks a special item at the Bargainer Statue: a Depths lantern that permanently illuminates a small area without using Brightbloom Seeds.
