All bomb diagrams location
The earliest possible moment you can obtain all the bomb diagrams is after you visited the Royal Palace of Vizima. You will then gain access to rest of the map. The herbalist that sell all diagrams are north-east of Oxenfurt. It shall be noted that you can not enter Oxenfurt yet as you need a passport, but you can swim around the town still reach the dwarf herbalist. Refer to the video guide if you want see the easiest possible path to the herbalist.
Each bomb diagrams will set you back 250 crowns and a total of 2000 crowns to obtain them all.
Much like the potions formula achievement above, there are different ways bomb formulas can be found in the game.
- Purchased from city and village merchants
- Found as loot in chests
- Awarded via side quest completion
Since bomb formulas are not as common as potion formulas however, there's an easy method in knocking this out early. The quickest way is to buy 6 bomb formulas from an herbalist; specifically the herbalist at the Herbalist Hut fast travel point in northeast Novigrad. This herbalist has 8 bomb formulas for sale, and buying at least 6 of them will cost about 2000 crowns. If you don’t want to waste all that money at once, you can create a save file, buy the necessary formulas for the achievement, and then reload your save once the achievement unlocks. Be sure to check the video below for the location of this herbalist.
You can simply buy 6 bomb formulae from a herbalist. There's one at the "Herbalist's Hut" fast travel point in the south-east of Novigrad (near Oxenfurt). He offers 8 different bomb formulae. This will cost you around 2000 crowns. You can simply create a backup save before doing this and sell all your crafting materials / alchemy ingredients to the merchant, then buy the formulae with the money. Reload your save game to get the money back.
You will need 2000 coins, but if you don't want to spend money, just save before buying, get the trophy, and then load your save again, it's as simple as that.
