Of the total 20 bobbleheads, there are a few that you will be unable to return for later if you miss them. The very first one is in Vault 101. Before you leave the vault, grab it off your dad's desk.

 

Another missable bobblehead is at Raven Rock on Level 2 in Colonel Autumn's office. You must find it during the American Dream quest. There's also a bobblehead in Megaton that must be collected before the town is destroyed. All other bobbleheads can be collected at any time.

 

STAT BOBBLEHEADS

Bobblehead	Location	How to Find It
Strength	Megaton, Lucas's House	Complete the Power of Atom quest and get yourself a house in the town, then you can get into Lucas' house without picking the lock. If Megaton has been blown up, then you can't get the Strength bobblehead.
Perception	Republic of Dave, Museum of Dave	The Museum of Dave is one of the few buildings you can go into without first talking to Dave. You'll find the Perception bobblehead on a shelf.
Endurance	Deathclaw Sanctuary, near the entrance	Sneak down the hill to the south where you'll find the bobblehead on a small table. If you have trouble getting past the death claws, get a stealth boy to help.
Charisma	Vault 108, Cloning labs	Go eight squares north of Rivet City. Look for it on a table on the west side of the cloning lab (the room with many beds) in Vault 108. This vault is full of Gary Clones, which you can kill for easy experience.
Intelligence	Rivet City, Science labs	During the Wasteland Survival Guide quest, there's a science lab on the ship that you can find by entering the stairwell door and following the signs. The Intelligence bobblehead is on a desk in the center of the lab.
Agility	Greener Pastures Disposal, Office	Go three squares down and four squares left from the top right of the map. Find the building containing a radiation suit and anti-radiation medicine. Put on the suit, then find the area with the large radiation cloud. Enter the office building to find the Agility bobblehead.
Luck	Arlington Cemetery North, Arlington House basement	Look for a shelf when you enter the basement. The Arlington House is southwest of the cemetery. To find the cemetery from Megaton, go east until you reach Super Duper Mart, then head southeast toward Flooded Metro.

 

SKILL BOBBLEHEADS

Bobblehead	Location	How to Find It
Barter	Evergreen Mills, Market Bazaar	Start by entering the Foundry, followed by the Bazaar, then to the back area where you'll find Smiling Jack (you can kill him to get a Terrible Shotgun). In the storage area behind Smiling Jack, the Barter Bobblehead is on the upper-right side of a large shelf. There's also a safe behind the counter.
Big Guns	Fort Constantine, CO Quarters in basement	To get to Fort Constantine, go four squares east and one square south from the northwestern square. The bobblehead is on a shelf in the cellar.
Energy Weapons	Raven Rock, Colonel Autumn's office	Your trip to Raven Rock while completing the American Dream quest is your only chance to get it. You can find the colonel's office on Level 2.
Explosives	WKML Broadcast Station, Sealed cistern, tucked in rocks	Find the station five squares south and four squares east from the northwest corner of the map. Go to the south of the building and down the cliff, then follow the southern area of the rock. Look for the white cistern with a grate, then climb down it.
Lockpick	Bethesda Ruins, Bethesda Offices East	To find the Bethesda Ruins, head three squares north and two squares east of Megaton. Find the eastern tower and look for the Lockpick bobblehead on a desk. If you wind up in the western building first, enter the first tower, then use the upstairs skywalk to reach the other building.
Medicine	Vault 101, Dad's Desk	Collect it before leaving the vault for the first time. You won't have a chance to get it later.
Melee	Dunwich Building, Virulent Chamber	Go to the far southwest corner of the map, one square east of the lower-left corner. Look in the north-central area of that square to find the Dunwich Building. At the entrance, go north and use the first door on the right, then use the southern staircase to go upstairs. Use the northeastern staircase, go left, then right, and then right once more through a door leading to the Forsaken Dunwich Ruins. You'll find Virulent Chambers if you stay on the northern wall of the path and take the door to the south.
Repair	Arefu, Evan King's house	Find Arefu three squares west and four squares north of Megaton. Evan King's house is on the bridge. You'll need lockpick skill 50 to open the front door.
Science	Vault 106, Living Quarters	Northwest of Vault 101 is Vault 106. Find the Living Quarters and go to the room on the far east side where the bobblehead can be found on a shelf.
Small Guns	National Guard Depot, Armory	The National Guard Depot is one square north and seven squares east of Megaton, but don't enter the actual city; remain on the northern border. Head toward the Depot Training Area, then the Offices, and then back into the depot area from there. Activate the switch on the left to open some doors two levels below. Locate the doors with flashing lights, and look for the bobblehead on a shelf near an entrance.
Sneak	Yao Guai Tunnels, Yao Guai Den	The tunnels are nine squares west and one square north of Megaton located between two cliffs in the east-central area of the square. When you're in the tunnels, use the east door, Yao Guai Den, to find the bobblehead in the south-central area of the room.
Speech	Paradise Falls, Eulogy's Pad	There are multiple ways to get to Eulogy's Pad, including enslaving four people with Mesmetron, during the Rescue from Paradise quest, and bribing the gate guard with 500 caps. The bobblehead is on a table next to the terminal.
Unarmed	Rockopolis, Next to Argyle's body	The Rockopolis location isn't marked on your map. Get there by going one square west of Smith Casey's Garage, or eight squares west of Megaton. South of the center of the square is a banner resting over a boulder. Open the boulder like you would a door, and you'll find the bobblehead on the ground next to Argyle.
