Aside from being quirky knick-knacks to place in your residence as memorabilia, Fallout 4's bobbleheads provide powerful stat boosts to your respective skills and S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats. Each bobblehead corresponds to one specific skill with no duplicates, but while incredibly useful, the 20 bobblehead locations in Fallout 4 can be difficult to find even for veteran Fallout players without a handy guide to follow.
Searching for these collectibles is a great personal mission to pursue in Fallout 4, ensuring your character continues to develop as you progress through the game. But knowing where to begin your search can be daunting, given the number of valuable or junk items players come across in the game.
Many of the bobbleheads' skills correspond to their location, which indicates where you might find certain types. For example, the bobblehead that enhances Intelligence is found in the Boston Public Library, and the Perception bobblehead is found inside a museum.

It is also important to note that the further you go from the starting area, the more difficult and numerous enemies will start to become, with the bobbleheads closer to the top and bottom right side of the map needing a bit of extra planning, or even some additional levels before you can hope to get there in one piece.
This bobblehead is located inside the Mass Fusion Building and can be found on the second floor on top of the main lobby overlooking the lower floors.

Fallout 4's Sneak Bobblehead can be found deep within the Dunwich Borers caves. The easiest way to find this item is to locate the 'Area 4' sign inside this area on Fallout 4's map. Once you've made your way through the end and have killed all the ghouls in the cave, the bobblehead is placed on a desk to the left of the sign towards the end of the final area.
