Useful Info
Iron elementals are lumbering brutes with powerful spells and significant melee capabilities. They only naturally occur in rare vaults, and can be summoned by the Iron Giant to support him.

Tips & Tricks
- Iron elementals are thankfully very slow, and while their magic immunity and broad array of elemental immunities will make things brutal for casters, their physical defenses aren't insurmountable for a good melee fighter. Casters with non-elemental Conjurations or Abjuration should spam those, but taking out the Iron Giant is the more important task. If you don't think you can face it toe-to-toe, it might be best to simply run.
- Their spells, though damaging, have fairly short range. Kiting them is a decent strategy, considering their slow movement speed.
- High magic resistance will help you avoid getting slowed.
