Power Bomb locations

Locate explosive Power Bombs to greatly enhance your arsenal. Each one is capable of tearing apart any foe crazy enough to wander nearby. You'll also find them handy in demolishing any object composed of Denzium. Defeat the Power Bomb Guardian to obtain your first Power Bomb (giving you two to start with), then find all the rest below to reach the maximum of 10.

(Dynamo Chamber)
You'll need two Power Bombs to recover this one. Inside the Dynamo Chamber lies two main tunnels running through the area, with one above the other.

The lower tunnel is blocked by two Mk VII security gates, destroy one with a Power Bomb to access the lower tunnel, then look for a weakened wall section inside and destroy it with another Power Bomb, revealing this item inside.

(Putrid Alcove - Dark Torvus Bog)
Two Power Bombs will score you this item. See a yellow door in the Dark Forgotten Bridge and Poisoned Bog areas? Blow through one with a Power Bomb to locate a small pond connecting the two regions.

Dwelling in the putrid pond is a Phlogus, shoot it when its maw opens to flip it around and step aboard. Switch on the Scan Visor and sweep around, looking for a scannable section in the surrounding rock walls. The cracked wall is composed of Denzium, so light up another Power Bomb beside it to reveal this item inside a tiny alcove.

(Great Bridge)
Another Power Bomb will enable you to secure this one. Running behind the upper northern and eastern walls of this area lies a narrow hidden tunnel where this Power Bomb awaits. Blow open one of the Denzium blocks covering either end of the tunnel and roll through to snag it.

(Transit Station)
Look for a weakened glass shield protecting an inactive Dark Portal in this chamber. Use a Power Bomb to breach the shield and gain access to the portal.

Travel to Dark Aether, defeat the Dark Ingsmasher there, then follow a sequence of portals jumping back and forth between dimensions until you reach a hidden alcove where this item awaits.

(Sanctuary Entrance)
The Spider Ball and a Power Bomb are required for this item. At the Sanctuary Entrance, there's an elevator to the left of the main entrance leading inside the fortress. But it's blocked by a cracked window, and only a Power Bomb can break through. Take out the window and ride the lift up.

Scan the control terminal to activate a nearby Kinetic Orb Cannon. Use it to reach an overlooking platform and climb up to the Vigilance Class Turret atop it. Jump in and aim at the top of the southern cliff wall. Send a few shots into it to uncover the Power Bomb.

Spin around to face the fortress entrance, then send a few shots into the cracked section of the wall to uncover a ledge. Finally, aim down at the right-hand corner of the fortress and send a shot or two into the jagged formation of rocks there.

With all three obstacles clear, return to the ground and head over to where the jagged rock formation once stood. Look for a small alcove where a number of Spider Ball tracks line the walls, use them and follow the tracks to reach the ledge above which you uncovered.

Finally, jump in the Kinetic Orb Cannon up there to launch yourself over to the alcove in the cliff opposite where this item awaits.

(Main Gyro Chamber)
With the Echo Visor and Annihilator Beam in hand, travel to the very bottom of this chamber to locate a sealed door at the rear of the gyro chamber. Switch on the Echo Visor and take out the Annihilator Beam. Shoot the door to hear the required sequence of tones needed to unlock it.

Memorise the sequence then reproduce it via the three tone emitters nearby. Unlocking the door will reveal a Kinetic Orb Cannon beyond, jump in to be launched up into the giant purple sphere above, destroying it and revealing this Power Bomb inside.
