Lava Elemental — Detailed Guide

The Lava Elemental is an optional dungeon boss on Ragnarok in ASE, a giant rock creature that lives in a volcanic cavern. It gives no artifact, but its loot can include high-quality saddles, weapons and armor.

Where to find it

It waits in the Lava Elemental Arena, reached through Ragnarok's Jungle Dungeon. The cavern has a lava pool and cracks that its melee hits can knock you into. It starts at level 10 and gains 10 levels for each player present.

How to get one

It cannot be tamed, ridden or bred, and it is immune to torpor.

Uses

Kill it for Crystal, Metal, Obsidian, Oil, Stone and Sulfur plus a guaranteed gear drop.

Tips

  • Weapons: melee and bullets do little damage. Bring several Rocket Launchers and plenty of rockets, or a Tek Rifle, which does full damage.
  • Rocks: its thrown molten rocks hit hard and can set you on fire. A Tek Shield can reflect them.
  • Position: a grappling hook can get you onto the ledges opposite the entrance, where it struggles to reach you.
