However, while most enemies can be damaged even if you don’t target their weak points, others are straight-up invincible if you don’t know how to beat them. Slimes seem like an impossible enemy to face the first time you encounter them, as nothing you do seems to damage them. But they’re easier to beat than it might first appear. Here’s how to counter them.
How To Kill Slimes
Slimes are vulnerable to elemental attacks (Fire, Lightning, Frost) and are extremely weak to fire.Attacking them with mundane weapons (sword, greatsword, bow) without elemental infusion will deal no damage to the Slime.
Having aMagein yourpartywho can buff you withFire Boonto add fire elemental damage to your weapons will see the Slimes melt in one or two hits from adecently powerful weapon.
Slimes attack other enemies as well. you may lead use them as means of slowing down difficult enemies like Ogres and Chimeras if nearby.
How To Deal Elemental Damage
The easiest way to infuse your weapons with elemental damage is byequipping aPawnMage with Fire/Lightning/Frost Boon skills.
These skills are available to all Mages by default. If you have bought this skill but haven’t got it equipped, you can alwaysswitch currently active skillsby setting up acampsite.
As you progress through the game, you’ll unlock skills forother vocationsthat allow them to add elemental damage to their weapons without a Mage’s help. Things likeArcher’s Explosive Shotsdeal fire damage but consume Explosive Arrows butThief’s Ignited Bladesdon’t have the same weakness.
If you’re a Mage yourself, you’re able to always depend onHigh Flagrationto deal massive fire damage or rely onHigh Levinif you have that equipped.
Depending on their nature, Slimes can inflict Debilitations on characters who get caught by them. Use a Detoxifying Potion to get rid of these afflictions.
