The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has a large number of different collectibles Link can find while exploring the many places in Hyrule. Whether you're trying to collect the best armor, weapons, or shields, it may take quite some time before you're able to obtain all of them.

Bargainer Statues: Dark & Depths Armor Rewards
In order to obtain these two armor sets, you will need to find all the Bargainer Statues. These statues are found throughout The Depths and will trade Link the armor sets in exchange for Poes. Poes are the blue flames you can find around The Depths.
Overall, there are 7 Bargainer Statues: 6 in The Depths and 1 in Lookout Landing. Finding them all will allow you to trade for each piece of these armor sets. The following are locations within The Depths where you can find the Bargainer Statues. If you want, you can pay the Bargainer Statue in Lookout Landing to give you the location of the other statues. For a more detailed breakdown of these locations, you can check out this Poe guide.

How To Reach The Bargainer Statues
Some of these Bargainer Statues can be extremely difficult to reach. It can take a long time to reach them all. The best way to reach these places is to ensure you have stamina-replenishing foods. Some of these statues (especially the one located in The Plains area). Another great way to reach these areas is to use the closest chasms to your advantage. You can save a lot of time by jumping into the closest chasm rather than trying to travel to a Lightroot far away and walking. You can also use the Zonai Devices around to your advantage. You can find small areas full of these devices around The Depths. You can create some great fusion vehicles to move around.
Dark Armor Set
Once you have found all the Bargainer Statues, you can purchase any of their inventories at any Bargainer Statue, including the one in Lookout Landing. The set requires 650 Poes in all to obtain.
- Dark Hood - 300 Poes
- Dark Tunic - 150 Poes
- Dark Trousers - 200 Poes

The set cannot be dyed at Hateno Village.
Depths Armor Set
This set can be obtained from any Bargainer Statue after finding them all. It costs a total of 650 Poes, just like the Dark Set.
- Hood of the Depths - 300 Poes
- Tunic of the Depths - 150 Poes
- Gaiters of the Depths - 200 Poes
Each piece in the set has a base defense of 3. This means that, in total, the set grants nine base defenses. This can be upgraded at the Great Fairy Fountains across Hyrule.
