Useful Info

A dire elephant is a much stronger version of an elephant. Like their smaller cousins, their melee attacks may push you back a tile, but their damage output is significantly higher.

Tips & Tricks

Dire elephants have significant damage output, and they're much more resistant to magic than regular elephants, but they aren't that much more durable otherwise. Any kind of strong Conjurations or Summonings magic will suffice, and pure melee characters can usually take them on one-on-one by the time they're encountered. Be aware that several dire elephants may appear in one of The Lair's endings, where characters will generally be less well-equipped to deal with them.

History

  • Dire elephants were added in 0.7.
