The Lava Elemental may be found in the Grymforge, which is accessible via the Underdark. Even while you are doing other tasks, like discovering Harper Stash, you could run across it. The Lava Elemental’s approximate coordinates are (-595, 215).

  • Race: Elemental
  • Level: 6
  • Weight: 200kg
  • Health: 85
  • Size: Medium
  • AC: 12
  • Base speed: 9m
  • Attitude: 0

Lava Elemental Strengths And Weaknesses

  • Piercing: Resistant
  • Fire: Immune
  • Cold: Vulnerable
  • Poison: Resistant

Given that the Lava Elemental may recover from the harm you do, the battle may appear hopeless. This is because it is obviously a Fire Elemental Surface Type out of all the Elemental Surface Types in this game. Actually, there are various tactics you may do to hinder its healing and beat it. You need to be aware of the Lava Elemental’s strengths and weaknesses in order to employ these strategies.

  • Magmatic Regeneration: When beginning a turn in lava, you will gain 10d6 hit points.
  • Magmatic Disturbance: When this species is around, the lava nearby is disturbed, bubbling and exploding.

A few items genuinely do not affect the lava elemental. Piercing and poison are only a few of them. Naturally, it is likewise impervious to fire. In fact, it may restore health as long as it remains in the lava. It will restore 10d6 hit points if it begins a round while standing in lava. The Lava Elemental seems to take a lot of damage from the witch bolt as well.

  1. You should be on the lookout for sporadic bursts of lava flying about since this monster has some power over the lava, upsetting it, making it bubble, as well as erupting.
  2. There might be additional weaknesses, but the cold is a certain conclusion.
  3. It will thus be better to use whatever cold-elementary weapons you may have.
  4. It seems to be vulnerable to being hurled from a great distance as well.

The Lava Elemental may be a little difficult to vanquish if you are like most people. This creature is not just a tank but also very lethal and has the ability to recover health.

You will need a weapon that can deliver considerable frost or cold damage given what you have just learned about the Lava Elemental. But if you use the appropriate strategies, you can take it down in a matter of minutes. It will certainly look virtually hard to vanquish without these strategies.

  1. In any case, choose one of your strongest weapons to cause a lot of harm.
  2. In order to kill it more quickly, you will also need to attempt to keep it away from the lava.
  3. It will continue to mend as long as it remains in the fire.
  4. You should use a weapon containing frost to fight it once you are on land.

Use companions with a lot of Frost damage if you wish to battle the Lava Elemental fairly. You may also hinder the Lava Elemental’s progress by casting a spell that does Cold damage, like Ray of Frost, to slow it down as it approaches you. It is a rather easy procedure to take out Lava Elemental if you want to impress the boss.

  1. A wizard and the Thunderwave spell are all that is needed.
  2. All of your foes are forced backward by a sonic wave that the spell Thunderwave emits.
  3. You can significantly hurt an object by using Ray of Frost with 216 damage and 2d8 cold, and you can also significantly slow down its movement to 3m.
  4. Tread on top of the rocky ruins as you tempt it to emerge from the lava.

You may achieve this by firing at the door while positioned close to the very top of the stairs. It will sprint in its direction and approach your level. If you use Thunderwave while it is on your level and strike it precisely, it will fly over the edge and probably kill it.

  1. It is really that easy, though doing it alone could be a bit more challenging.
  2. In any case, stick to the tactics you discovered and make use of any available frost weapons.
  3. Even while it can only appear like a little amount of health is being lost at a time, it quickly builds up.

When the BG3 Lava Elemental is near enough to you, lure it to one of the pillars with the edge of a cliff behind it and use your Wizard’s Misty Step ability to sneak up behind it. Then, hurl the Lava Elemental off the cliff with your Thunderwave power.

Rewards

You will get 120 XP and the following loot after you vanquish the lava elemental. By approaching the body and engaging with it, you may get this treasure.

This is all about how to find and defeat Lava Elemental in BG3. Due to its tank-like characteristics, deadly assaults, and life regeneration powers, Lava Elemental is challenging to defeat.
