Bomb King, Bombs

About 37 000 HP (Maks x3), Bombs ~3200 HP

Resistant to Libra, Absorbs Fire

Oil, Fire, Fira, Cry for Help, Renew

With that player you will have to fight if you want to go to Nercrohol of Nabudis or Nabreus Deadlands. You'll find him near the gate's crystal in Salikawood.

He mainly uses power of the fire during the fight. To increase his effectiveness he throws Oil. Besides he has possibility to summon little Bombs (Cry for Help), and when his HP level drops below 40-50% he will use Renew (it full restores his HP). He can use it three times. Unfortunately he is resistant to Syphon, so don't even think about sucking up his mana. But his helpers are the worst. You wish they didn't blow up, and surely not all at once.

At the beginning use two damage dealers to defeat those Little bombs. Set "Foe: Lowest HP" gambit. Wizard should cast silence at Bomb king. It doesn't stop Renew, but it stops Cry for Help and rest of magick attacks. When you got rid of helpers, and you have the Bomb King silenced, cast Berserk on one of your characters, and keep an eye on his HP level.

When the Bomb King runs away from you, it means that he is going to use Renew. Attack him with quickening and create nice combo. If you don't want to play with quickenings, berserk two of your heroes instead of one and watch the effects.

You will obtain 1300 gil and Mallet (2498g) from Montblanc for defeating Bomb King.
