The Bronze Elemental sometimes vents poison gas at anyone fighting it at close range. One of eight ore elementals; each has its own page because their stats and special defenses differ a lot. See also dull copper, shadow iron, copper, bronze, golden, agapite, verite and valorite.

Overview

• In-game name: a bronze elemental
• Corpse: an ore elemental corpse
• Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.
• Bleed immune: bleed attacks (a weapon special New Bradford enables) don't affect it.

Abilities

Dispels summons

Any summoned creature that can be dispelled is destroyed instantly when it hits the bronze elemental in melee or the bronze elemental hits it. Blade spirits, energy vortexes, summoned elementals and daemons are wasted against it.

Poison gas counter

When something standing right next to it damages it (melee or spell), there's a 5% chance it blasts the attacker with gas: 50 damage plus Deadly poison. Provoked creatures don't trigger it.

Loot

Every bronze elemental carries:

• Gold: about 60–150 in total (from its "Average" loot)
• 2 random gems (amber, amethyst, citrine, diamond, emerald, ruby, sapphire, star sapphire or tourmaline)
• 2 bronze ore (a pile; 25 if it rose from a gargoyle's pickaxe dig)

It may also carry:

• A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 3 chances, from about 5% down to 0.5% each)
• A musical instrument (about 0.4% or less)
• A level 1 treasure map (1% chance)

Carving

There's nothing to carve from its corpse.

Location

• Mining with a gargoyle's pickaxe: when you mine with a gargoyle's pickaxe and the ore you dig up is the vein's main ore, there's a 10% chance a bronze elemental rises next to you and attacks you. That elemental carries 25 bronze ore instead of the usual 2. You need about 80 Mining to dig bronze ore. Gargoyle's pickaxes drop from gargoyles, enslaved gargoyles, stone gargoyles, gargoyle enforcers and gargoyle destroyers.

Tips

• Its gas counter only hits adjacent attackers: archers and mages are safe.
• Have a cure ready if you melee it.
