i fight it about 30minutes with shock, the only thing it hurts...
are there other way, im really annoyed

Hate to break it to you, but those green numbers meant you were healing it. It's an air elemental.

They can only be hurt by the dispel spell or the etheral dagger found in the graveyard.

There's also a staff that can produce a Dispell effect, using no charges. In case you didn't invest in Water magic on your caster. It's in the flooded dungeon on Sleet Island.

I need to do some testing. I distinctly remember damaging an Ice elemental with a fire spell, and being unable to damage an Earth elemental with a cold-based weapon despite it being strength based and not a spell.

Perhaps polar opposite elements can damage each other, while the same element heals, and any others deal a flat zero damage.

Green numbers heal. Shock on air elementals, poison on certain other enemies.
Red numbers seem to mean bonus damage, fire on ice elementals. Opposites are antagonistic in LoG as described by the game lore. Using ice bolt on those flying suicide-fireball-monstrosities is highly effective.

I know this thread is ancient, but for anyone without the necessary items/spells and stuck at this monster...

If you get the hub key from the area near the beach, wait for the elemental to be right near the hub, then put the key in and get out of the way. The elemental will be transported to the Hub, and if you go through the teleporter, you'll teleport into it and kill it instantly (no XP though). Hope it helps anyone still playing this!
