The Dull Copper Elemental is the weakest of the ore elementals. It explodes when it dies, so step back before landing the final blow. 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

Abilities
Dispels summons
Any summoned creature that can be dispelled is destroyed instantly when it hits the dull copper elemental in melee or the dull copper elemental hits it. Blade spirits, energy vortexes, summoned elementals and daemons are wasted against it.
Death explosion
When it dies it explodes. Everyone within 3 tiles takes damage equal to one fifth of their own maximum hit points. Explosions don't chain from one corpse to another.
Loot
Every dull copper 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 dull copper 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 dull copper elemental rises next to you and attacks you. That elemental carries 25 dull copper ore instead of the usual 2. You need about 65 Mining to dig dull copper ore. Gargoyle's pickaxes drop from gargoyles, enslaved gargoyles, stone gargoyles, gargoyle enforcers and gargoyle destroyers.
Tips
- Its death explosion takes a fifth of your maximum health from everyone within 3 tiles; finish it with a spell or ranged attack.
- Its touch destroys summons.
