Tips & Tricks

  • Iron elementals are thankfully very slow, and while their magic immunity and broad array of elemental immunities will make things brutal for casters, their physical defenses aren't insurmountable for a good melee fighter. Casters with non-elemental Conjurations or Abjuration should spam those, but taking out the Iron Giant is the more important task. If you don't think you can face it toe-to-toe, it might be best to simply run.
  • Their spells, though damaging, have fairly short range. Kiting them is a decent strategy, considering their slow movement speed.
  • High magic resistance will help you avoid getting slowed.

History

Iron elementals were added in 0.7.
