[How to Complete]

Defeat the Elemental-based Enemies & Environment Traps with the Appropriate Opposite Element

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Details]

Entering an area will cause a wave of Incredibly Tough Pudding (Fire, Ice, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning) to drop down from the ceiling. Parties should use the appropriate Opposite Element to quickly defeat these Elemental-based Enemies.

In addition, there can be Elemental Environmental Hazards (Fire Fount, Freezing (Ice) Pillar, Tornado Pillar, etc.) that cause heavy damage if touched. These, too, can be dispelled by using the appropriate Elemental-based Spell or Weaponskill on the Hazards.

You do not need to use the Elemental Weakness to defeat these challenges (in case no one has an appropriate countermeasure), but it sure helps.

Note: Right now many Weaponskills don't have a clear Element attached to them. But these types of Elemental-based challenges could pave the way and make use for the Design Team to attach Elements to certain Weaponskills. Or just keep these as challenges that Disciples of Magic can take on.

It's also a nice way to teach players about the Elements and the appropriate Counter Element in Eorzea (and for those that know, it's good practice). Just a way to encourage adventurers to think about certain attacks and not just spam their favorite attack in most battles.
