How to Fight an Earth Elemental

How to Fight

The best way to deal with an Earth Elemental is to throw Dimeritium Bombs to greatly reduce their defense and attack them during their large openings. You should be careful of their attacks since a single attack deals a lot of damage. You can cast the Yrden Sign to slow them down a bit and allow you to dodge towards their back and attack them.

What Preparations to Make?

You should use your Silver Sword and coat it with Elementa oil to deal bonus damage to them. Prepare a decent amount of Dimeritium Bombs in order to greatly reduce their defense in combat. Also, prepare a lot of healing items and potions since their attacks deal a lot of damage to you.

Special Sign Effects

  • Aard - This can stagger them shortly and can get you a good amount of time to get an attack in.
  • Yrden - This will slow their attacks and allow you to dodge or roll out of the way easier.
  • Axii - This will stun them shortly and give you time to go to their back and attack them.
