The King is Dead – Long Live the King Tips and Strategies

Earth Elemental Fight

Earth Elementa Fight
When fighting the Earth Elementall watch its attacks, dodge, then use heavy attacks. The attacks are telegraphed, making them easy to react to. If you were able to make some beforehand, applying some Elementa Oil to your Silver Sword will increase the damage you can deal significantly.

Use Quen to block any attacks that you might not dodge, as they can deal significant damage. When it is blocking, you can use Aard to break the block. You can also simply let Yennefer do all the work fighting the Earth Elemental.
