Elder

# Elder Strategies

Sometimes you will simply have to level up to a higher level because the Elder can heal faster than you can damage it. Aside from that, there are certain things you should keep in mind to defeat them earlier on.

* Elders will damage anything near them. This means that using robots isn't effective.
* Using the Ice Freeze spell will prevent the Elder from healing for a while and will slightly boost your damage output. So use the Ice Freeze spell when your damage spells are ready to be cast.
	+ Note: Using the Fire Blast spell WILL unfreeze the Elder. The inverse is also true; freezing will remove the burning damage. So don't use those two spells at the same time or in quick succession. They have a long cooldown anyway.
* Don't forget to use the Nano Cloud spell. It doesn't work on normal blocks, but is very effective on Corrupted Blocks and Elders.
* Using green fumes from nano clouds is probably the best way to help you defeat the elder.

****Depending on the version, you docurrent 5.0.9 or do not need the Tesla coil to defeat the elder. Building the Tesla Coil is a long questline that starts from finding the HDD item in your cave discoveries, and building a computer to decrypt it. Later, you will find the blueprint for the Tesla Coil, allowing you to craft one, that will prevent the Amber Elder from healing and allow you to win.********************************* As of version 5.0.9, Amber Elder takes no damage without a working Tesla Coil.********************************Additional tactics include:********************************Zone 4: Aluminium Elder
