In this part of the video, the host, 4yam, explains the different types of elemental damage in Elden Ring, particularly magic, fire, lightning, and holy damage. He specifies that while physical damage is dealt with melee weapons, elemental damage comes from spells and certain weapon enhancements. Magic damage, primarily used by intelligence builds, is highly effective against heavily armored foes but less so against magic-oriented enemies.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on discussing various damage types and their effectiveness against different types of enemies in the game. The narrator emphasizes that enemies with armor and fire-oriented creatures, like dragons, are resistant to fire. Instead, lightning damage is highly effective against both heavily armored enemies and dragons. The narrator recommends using lightning arrows or grease for these foes as it lacks any significant weaknesses and can be used universally.
The segment transitions to discussing holy damage, which is optimal against undead enemies, allowing players to easily send them back to their graves. Holy damage is versatile and does not present any particular weaknesses, making it useful in many situations.
The narrator clarifies that damage from sorceries or incantations, such as poison or rot, falls under magical damage. An example is given involving the use of a meteorite staff to cast spells in Elden Ring, effectively taking down armored enemies.
Another example includes attacking the mad pumpkin head on Saints Bridge in Stormhill with fire damage due to its exposed flesh and vulnerability to fire. The narrator uses a fire-breathing incantation to demonstrate this. Fire damage is generally effective against most animals as they lack armor, with an example featuring the fire breather skill on a steel wire torch.

In this segment of the video, the creator demonstrates the effectiveness of elemental damage, particularly lightning arrows, in combating various enemies in Elden Ring. Highlights include using lightning arrows to quickly defeat heavily armored banished knights and war machines at Redmane Castle, showing their effectiveness due to the combination of metal and electricity. The creator also compares lightning arrows with normal arrows against stone imps, noting minimal difference in damage and suggesting that blunt weapons are more efficient. Additionally, holy arrows are shown to be effective against high-level undead enemies and possibly rotten birds in Altus Plateau, even with a lower-level bow.
