Bombmaster unlocks after you defeat 100 enemies with Bombs, so first get Bombs during the Age of Reconstruction quest Blow Your Troubles Away, then keep landing bomb killing blows on normal enemies until the counter hits 100.
Bombmaster is one of the weapon-mastery rewards in The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, and it is far more of a grind than its unlock quest suggests. The story hands you Bombs after a short side quest that only asks for a couple of kills, but the trophy itself wants a full hundred. This guide covers exactly what it needs, where Bombs come from, and the fastest way to close out the remaining kills.
What Bombmaster actually asks for
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Trophy name | Bombmaster |
| Requirement | Defeated one hundred enemies with bombs |
| Kills needed | 100 |
| Type | Bronze trophy / achievement |
| Difficulty or enemy restriction | None |
Bombmaster is a Bronze trophy (a standard achievement on other platforms) with the in-game text “Defeated one hundred enemies with bombs.” The count is purely cumulative across your whole playthrough — any enemy whose killing blow comes from a Bomb ticks the tracker up by one, and there is no difficulty setting, enemy type, or story-boss restriction attached to it.
How to rack up bomb kills in The Adventures of Elliot
Once Bombs are in your hands, the trophy is just a matter of making the Bomb the finishing hit over and over until the total climbs to 100.
STEP 1/5
Open with Bombs in combat
Start throwing Bombs at the enemies in front of you the moment the fight begins.
STEP 2/5
Land the killing blow with a Bomb
Only kills where the Bomb deals the final hit count, and the quest version of this asks for just 2 before the trophy grind continues.
STEP 3/5
Heal and pull back when prompted
The game will tell you to take time to heal and make a tactical retreat, so top up before pushing back in.
STEP 4/5
Keep clearing the group with Bombs
Bombs hit hard on packed enemies, so stay on them instead of switching to a sword or bow.
STEP 5/5
Report back to the shopkeeper
With the encounter cleared, return to the shopkeeper to carry on the quest thread and bank your progress.

Farming the remaining bomb kills fast
After Blow Your Troubles Away, Bombs stay in your kit for the rest of the run and you receive 10× Bombs to start with. From there you can restock cheaply — Bombs sell for around 10 Tul each in shops, and extra stacks turn up as quest and chest rewards in spots like Littlehope Village, Lyudmila’s House, and the Desert Caves.
The efficient approach is to hunt low-HP enemies in early- and mid-game areas, where a single Bomb (or a small cluster) is enough to guarantee the kill without wasting throws. Make a habit of finishing weakened enemies with a Bomb rather than a melee swing, since only the bomb-dealt killing blow counts toward the 100.
Stock up on Bombs at 10 Tul each and farm low-HP enemies, finishing every weakened enemy with a Bomb so the killing blow always counts toward the 100.
Mistakes that stall the trophy
The most common trap is confusing Bombmaster (the trophy) with Bomb Master (the accessory that lets you throw more Bombs). They share a name but do completely different things — one is a reward, the other is a tool that helps you earn it faster.
The second trap is assuming every weapon-master trophy uses the same number. Bombmaster needs 100 kills, but several other weapon trophies want 200, so don’t treat them as interchangeable targets. And don’t stop once you clear the 2-kill quest objective — that barely dents the tracker.
| Goal | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Smooth Fighting | Chain 30 bonus drops |
| Want For Nothing | Acquire 10,000 tul |
| Bowmaster | Defeat 200 enemies with the bow |
| Boomerangmaster | Defeat 200 enemies with the boomerang |
Because the bomb kills stack passively while you play, it pays to line Bombmaster up with other goals. Smooth Fighting rewards chaining bonus drops, and the Lotus Chain accessory you earn from Blow Your Troubles Away is genuinely useful here — it lets you take a hit per chain level without breaking the chain. Want For Nothing comes along naturally too, since keeping chains and kills going builds toward the 10,000 tul it asks for.
The other weapon-master trophies are worth tracking in parallel, so you’re not backtracking later for each weapon separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does finishing Blow Your Troubles Away unlock Bombmaster?
No. That quest only requires 2 bomb kills to complete, while Bombmaster needs 100. Clearing the quest is what puts Bombs in your kit — the trophy comes much later, after you’ve used them to defeat 98 more enemies.
Do bomb kills need to be on a specific enemy type or difficulty?
No. The count is cumulative across the whole game with no difficulty setting or enemy-type restriction. Any enemy that dies to a Bomb’s killing blow counts, so ordinary mobs are fine.
What is the difference between Bombmaster and Bomb Master?
Bombmaster is the trophy for 100 bomb kills. Bomb Master is an accessory that increases how many Bombs you can throw at once (from +1 up to +3). The accessory helps you earn the trophy faster, but they are not the same thing.
Can Bombmaster be worked on alongside other trophies?
Yes, and it’s the smart way to play. The kills accumulate while you fight, so you can chase Smooth Fighting, Want For Nothing, and the other weapon-master trophies at the same time instead of grinding each in isolation.
Where do you first get Bombs?
During the Age of Reconstruction, travel to Northern Hucarea, speak with the Shrewd Adventurer to start Blow Your Troubles Away, and head to Littlehope Village’s Item Shop to receive Bombs. Finishing the quest keeps them as a usable weapon and nets you the Lotus Chain accessory.
