'''Earth elementals''' are lumbering brutes that are easily outrun, but pack a punch when faced head on. They are more durable than the other elementals, immune to virtually every type of damage other than pure physical damage.

'''Earth elementals''' are lumbering brutes. They are easily outrun, but are durable, and are immune to most common elements. They appear in [[the Elven Halls]], though [[deep elf elementalist]]s can summon them with [[Awaken Earth]]. You can summon them by using [[Qazlal]]'s Elemental Force (when used on clouds of sparse dust or calcifying dust).

Useful Info

Earth elementals are lumbering brutes. They are easily outrun, but are durable, and are immune to most common elements. They appear in the Elven Halls, though deep elf elementalists can summon them with Awaken Earth. You can summon them by using Qazlal's Elemental Force (when used on clouds of sparse dust or calcifying dust).

Tips & Tricks

  • They are slow. If you find a lone earth elemental, you can easily kite it.
  • While elemental spellcasters may have a hard time with them, they'll take decent damage from any irresistible spell (Irradiate, Iskenderun's Mystic Blast, etc.).
    • Don't bother using Magic Dart, Sandblast, or throwing stones. The elemental's AC means that you won't deal much damage with these weak options.
  • Try not to let yourself get surrounded by earth elementals. Each elemental can deal up to 40 damage per hit, so 8 elementals can deal lots of damage. Plus, since they are immune to various elements, monsters can fire Lightning Bolts, Stunning Bursts, Fireballs, and other elemental spells through them.
