Admiral Bobbery

Bobbery is a retired sailor whose reluctance to return to sea is rooted in grief. Learning his history is part of gaining the help needed for the voyage.

• Story: His recruitment connects Rogueport’s residents with the expedition to Keelhaul Key. After joining, his explosive ability opens obstacles well beyond the island chapter.
• In the game: Use his field bomb on appropriate cracks and switches, allowing for the delay. In battle, compare the area affected and FP cost before spending resources on a target that needs a simpler attack.
