How to Defeat The Elder
-
Before engaging The Elder in battle, make sure to prepare well with the proper gear. The Elder is weak to fire, so make sure to bring a Fire arrow, Fire arrows, or a Fire weapon, along with plenty of healing potions, which will come in handy
- The Elder is a tree-like creature that can attack you with its roots and spawn minions to assist it.
- When the battle starts, focus on destroying the roots to prevent The Elder from moving around too much. When it spawns minions, try to take them out quickly before they overwhelm you.
- The Elder has a few different attacks that you need to watch out for.
- It can shoot a barrage of roots at you, slam the ground with its roots, and create a shockwave. Dodge these attacks by moving around and jumping.
- When The Elder’s health gets low, it will start to spawn more minions, so be extra careful at this point.

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team.
