Bomb King

The section provides an overview of how to track down and defeat the Notorious Mark for the Bomb King Hunt.

Unlock Conditions

This hunt is available after you’ve initiated the Weird Science Optional Quest. This quest is available after you complete the three “Letting Off Steam” subquests during the Out of the Shadow Main Scenario Quest.

Notorious Mark Location

This Notorious Mark can be found in an area called “The Crock,” which is at the end of “The Imperial Chase.” The easiest way to get there is to warp to The Dragon’s Aery Obelisk.

There is a Red Treasure Coffer treasure coffer that you can open up as you pass by “Heavenhall” at the end of the “Imperial Chase Pathway.” The coffer contains a Black Blood.

The most important thing to note about the Bomb King is that it doesn’t have a “Will Gauge.” You cannot stagger this Notorious Mark, which means that there’s no point in saving up your powerful abilities for later on in the fight like you usually would.

The Bomb King behaves like other bomb-type enemies, but it has a few extra moves:

  • Coronation: Will launch a large fireball towards Clive, similar to the ‘Firaga’ spell that some enemies cast. It moves slowly, making it a candidate for a counterattack with Heatwave.
  • Witan: The Bomb King will slam into the ground, dealing damage in the area around where it lands.
  • King’s Justice: Bomb King will summon two or more clones of itself. While Bomb King will not self-destruct during this fight, the Bombs it summons (which have lower HP) are capable of exploding.
