How to catch a Big Poe
Equip the Fairy Bow and ride at a running start toward the purple-marked obstacle. Jump over it with Epona, chase the appearing spirit, and hit it twice with regular arrows. After defeating it, dismount, approach the remaining spirit, and confirm the capture with an empty bottle. If the Big Poe or its soul escapes, jump over the obstacle again. After a successful capture, the purple marker disappears.

Western Hyrule Field

Ride north along the west side of the farm until you reach the farm buildings. Look for the purple marker at the transition to the ascending path to Gerudo Valley.
Show location and solution
Stay near the paddock west of the farm. The jump point is between the outer wall and the rocky paths leading west towards Gerudo Valley.
Eastern and Southern Hyrule Field
Show location and solution
Search in the open field east of Lon Lon Ranch, roughly at the level of the paddock. Jump over the glowing obstacle and follow the ghost away from the farm so that the wall is out of your way when aiming.
Show location and solution
Ride south around the farm. There’s a small wooded area between the farm wall and the path to Lake Hylia. Look for the glowing purple obstacle there.
Show location and solution
Return from the forest entrance to Hyrule Field and keep to the left along the southeastern edge. Search the grass southwest of the entrance for the marker before you reach the swamp.
Show location and solution
Search for violet light at the lower edge of the swampy area between Kokiri Forest and Lake Hylia. Take a running start from the dry side, jump over the obstacle with Epona, and aim towards the open plains.
Plan for bottles and return trip
Collect as many ghosts as you have empty bottles, then ride back to town. Four empty bottles are enough for three hunting rounds with four, four, and two catches. You receive the new bottle on the fifth sale, not on the first catch. Only check off a point after a successful catch. You can see your total collected Poe count at the Collector.
Rewards at the Poe Collector
As an adult, go right from the town entrance to the purple-lit door of the former guardhouse. Turn in the catches there to free the bottles for the next round. You will receive 30 Rupees and 100 points per Big Poe . At 500 points after submitting five catches you receive an additional empty bottle 1,000 points after all ten catches a Gold Rupee worth 200 rupees is awarded. Ordinary Poes do not replace the Big Poe for this score. Make room in your wallet before selling so the rupees fit.
