Where to find all 7 elemental minerals to upgrade your elemental abilities
Introduction
In Elementallis, there are 8 elements. Seven of those have a corresponding “elemental mineral” which you can use to increase the abilities of that element.
Each mineral is located somewhere in the world. After you complete the Ice Temple, you can take them to Radulf’s gem workshop in the ice village so that he can enchant it and turn it into a gem, allowing you to use it.
You can only have one gemstone active at a time. In your Player menu, you can move the cursor to the gemstone and press “A” to cause arrows to appear, allowing you to switch which gem is active.
The gemstones’ effects are as follows:
Fire: Increases fire damage and range
Nature: Drains more energy for longer
Ice: Ice damages enemies while also freezing them
Earth: Increases the damage caused by your earthquake and pushes enemies with greater force
Wind: The wind damages the enemies you pass through
Water: Your water buble can withstand one more attack (ie, 2)
Electricity: Casts two additional bolts in a straight line.
I hope people find this guide helpful! I love exploration in games and encourage everyone to try to find these things on their own. But I know how miserable it can be to spend hours trying to find the last few things in games, so hopefully this guide will save you from that. Feedback and questions are welcomed!
Elemental Mineral Locations
For more information on a number (or element), jump down to the header for it.
1: Ruby (Fire)
This mineral is located in the fire area, but to reach it, you must start in the nature area. North of your house is a river. Go around until you’re on the north side of it, and go to where you can see the pit north of your house across the river.
Just north of that, there are soil patches. Plant a vine and climb it.
Head north and open the chest to obtain the ruby.
2: Malachite (Nature)
Go to this cave east of your house:
Enter and proceed past the torches. You’ll end up in a room with soil spots. Plant vines and climb them, and proceed through the gauntlet of enemies. When you reach a room with stairs blocked by square barriers, find the switch in the bottom-right corner and press it. Climb up and open the chest.
3: Topaz (Ice)
There’s a tiny pond with two penguins north of the ice village. And a soil spot. Plant soil, climb vine. You’ll see a mana shard to the left.
Enter the cave, go left. Use fire and ice as needed. The south entrance leads to that mana shard. Instead, go north. Proceed past the snowmen and vine spots and take the stairs. Fight the guard and open the chest to obtain topaz.
4: Sapphire (Water)
This one’s actually in the Water Temple itself. After you obtain the Water element, go to this room on floor 2F:
…And light all four torches. Dispatch the enemies first – their attacks will extinguish torches you already lit.
5: Iron (Earth)
The iron mineral is in the desert. But to reach it, you must enter this cave in the north-west part of the water area.
Use water and earth to get through the first cave room. Then use earth and your shield to get through the moles and rubble in the second.
You’ll emerge in this little pit with a chest containing the Iron.
6: Agate (Wind)
This mineral is in the bottom-right corner of the wind area, overlooking the path to the south. The easiest way to get here is from the frozen lake in the ice region. Go left into the wind area, then south. Here’s the route from the ice lake:
At the end is a chest with the mineral:
7: Flourite (Electricity)
After you complete the Electricity Temple, you will receive a VIP pass. Take this to the large store in the top-center of the rich district in the electric town.
Go to the staircase at the top to the second floor. Here you can purchase the mineral for 249 coins.
