EARTHS are incredibly dangerous when you meet them in the Earth Cave, but fortunately most of them are avoidable Treasure guardians. Their attacks will do a number even on a FIGHTER, and they rarely miss. Spells are generally ineffective, although FIR2 and FIR3 can push some damage through.

FIRES are similar to EARTHS, though they can appear in pairs in Gurgu Volcano. ICE2 is recommended in these cases. Otherwise, hunker down for a brawl and be ready to use some HEAL Potions afterwards.

They may be smaller than their EARTH and FIRE cousins, but WATERS are not to be trifled with. They are the only enemies in the Sunken Shrine with a vulnerability to Cold, so it may be worth blasting them with ICE2 or ICE3. Like the other elementals you've encountered, you cannot run from them.

AIRS are unique among the elementals, in that they lack Absorb in favor of very high Evade. You can use magic against them, but they have no elemental weakness and their HP total is too high for this to be very effective. They don't hit too hard individually, but groups can wear down a party. Inexplicably, they are the only elemental you can run from. (How do you run from air?)

Terra Cavern
Temple of Chaos Past
These earth elementals are incredibly dangerous when you meet them in the Terra Cavern, but fortunately most of them are avoidable Treasure guardians. They have more Attack and HP than anything you've seen yet, along with a high Defense and a very high Magic Defense score. Don't waste offensive Spells on them, despite their weakness to Fire. Spells like Steel and Haste will help a lot, but defensive Spells like Shld1 and Invis1 are not as useful as you might hope. Even your Warrior will take huge damage from a Gnoma's attack, so keep everyone healed and take them out as quickly as you can. Fortunately they will only appear alone until you reach the Temple of Chaos Past's earth floor. Even then they can be dangerous foes, but you should be more than capable of taking them out quickly at that point.
