Final Fantasy 16 Bomb King Location
To unlock the Bomb King on the hunting board, you must first start the “Weird Science” main quest. This will become available after completing the “Leaving Steam III” part of the “Out of the Shadows” main quest.
Once you’ve checked the hunting board after starting ‘Weird Science’, Bomb King is found at The Crock in Sanbreque, which is east of The Dragon’s Aery and north of The Imperial Chase. Fast travel to the Dragon Aery obelisk and head south to find the fastest route to the Bomb King.

Tips on How to Beat Bomb King in Final Fantasy 16
The Bomb King is a notorious Tier 33 B-Rank brand that mainly attacks with projectiles. Also, it’s one of the few Hunt targets that doesn’t have a scroll bar.
To get the upper hand in battle, here are some tips on how to beat the Bomb King in Final Fantasy 16:
- Staggering abilities are useless: Since Bomb King has no stagger bar, there is no point in equipping staggering abilities, such as Air Blast or Garuda Gouge. Instead, he puts all of his skill points into his high damage skills, like those belonging to Titan, Phoenix, or Ifrit.
- Activate Clive’s Limit Break, then unleash abilities. This means you’re dealing even more damage with Clive’s more powerful abilities. Start with the best ones, as the Limit Break gauge continues to drop even when you’re in the animation of the ability, so you don’t have much time.
- Equip the Berserker Ring for additional damage: The Berserker Ring gives Clive a small window of increased damage after performing a Precision Dodge, which is useful during the fight with Bomb King, since you’ll be dodging his projectiles a lot.
- Use Will-o’-the-Wykes if you need more protection – This fire ability creates a shield for Clive while he damages enemies and is useful for some protection against the Bomb King’s projectiles.
- Remember that you can equip abilities on other Eikon. If you like more than two of an Eikon’s abilities, you can equip them on another Eikon as long as you master the ability, so remember…
- Respect Is Free – You can refund any of your skill points for free and use those points to master another skill if you think it will help you the most in the fight against The Bomb King. We recommend removing Garuda’s abilities and replacing them with abilities that deal more damage.
