Final Fantasy 16: Bomb King Location

Teleport to the Dragon’s Aery Obelisk, which will spawn Clive in the east-center region of the map. From there, head southeast past the Dragon’s Aery and into The Imperial Chase. Up the narrow passage is a round area where the Bomb King will spawn during the Weird Science Side quest.

Final Fantasy 16: How to Defeat The Bomb King

The Bomb King doesn’t have a Will Gauge. The good side is you can damage its health bar immediately. On the less bright side, none of its deadly attacks can be interrupted, so you’ll rely solely on dodging and staying away from danger.

Move	Description	Counter
Coronation	Bomb King gathers flames around it and later spits a huge fireball toward Clive.	Stay away from the Bomb King and dodge the fireball to the side.
Firespit	Bomb King spits a small but quick-fire projectile at Clive.	Dodge to the side.
Firebreath	Bomb King throws a cloud of fire through his mouth for 3 to 5 seconds.	Dodge to safety and deal blows to the Bomb King’s back.
Witan	Bomb King vacuums energy and pounds the ground, dealing physical and AoE damage.	When Bomb King lifts higher into the ground, make some distance between the two of you.
King’s Justice	Bomb Kings spawn two more minor bomb subjects to battle.	Switch to multi-target attacks to deal damage to the smaller bombs as well as the Bomb King.
