King Bomb (Final Fantasy XII)

The King Bomb is a boss in Final Fantasy XII.

At the time when the party is to go to Archadia, they must go through Salikawood. A fork in the road leads to the dead areas of Nabradia, where a craftsmoogle warns is infested with Bombs. This is a somewhat unique boss as the player can escape anytime. The King Bomb returns in Revenant Wings as a optional boss.

Being a fiery armament of singular destructive power among the bombs created in ancient times.

It was long thought that the bombs disappeared, never taking to the wilds, yet drawn by the massive Mist cloud left in the wake of the tragedy at Nabudis, they came to live here as odd guests in the forest.

Battle
During the battle, it is possible to leave the Grand Bower, but only in the direction of the Gate Crystal. To gain access in the other direction to Nabudis, the boss must be defeated. When the party first passes through the Salikawood on the way to Archades, the King Bomb is likely too strong to be defeated.

During the battle, the boss will call to his aid up to three other bombs, which he will replace if they are destroyed. Also, after his health has been significantly depleted, he will retreat and cast renew to heal himself, meaning he must be Silenced, or the last part of his health must be removed quickly.
