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. High magic resistance will help you avoid getting slowed.

Tips & Tricks

  • Iron elementals are thankfully very slow, and while their magic immunity and broad array of elemental immunities will make things difficult for casters, their physical defenses aren't insurmountable for a good melee fighter. Casters with non-elemental Conjurations should use those; Airstrike and Earth Magic such as Lee's Rapid Deconstruction will also work.
    • Using Lee's Rapid Deconstruction will create blasts of metal shrapnel, which can deal heavy damage to anything next to the elemental.
  • Their spells, though damaging, have fairly short range. Kiting them is a decent strategy, considering their slow movement speed. A source of Repel or Deflect Missiles will also help, as will having high defenses.
  • High magic resistance will help you avoid getting slowed.
