Isolated it's spawn to one of a few mobs that always repop as water elementals. Most of the elementals on the island can be of any type but this one will always be a water elemental.

I killed Hydro this morning. He dropped the Belt, is there a rare?, and gave this faction hit. worse faction with
Servants of Hydro Servants of Aero Servants of Inferno Servants of Terra
My standing with the water elementals dropped more than it did with the others though. Went from indifferent to dubious. I was apprehensive to the other 3 types.
Killing any of the Named will make you KoS to that type as well as large faction hits with the others, not very helpful as the port in spot is in the middle of this island.
My 2 bits on faction of the elementals: I mainly killed water and air with my 51 war for a day and a half. Didn't try too many fire (DS) and Earths just seemed to hit harder. Went quickly from indiff to dubious. Killed a few named, swift, hulking, berserk, and one gigantic fire (almost died with 2000hp because of his DS ouch..). Anyhow finally ALL types were glaring threatningly, regardless of type. At first water, then air (even though I had not killed a greater or Aero, Hydro etc.) Now they started adding, not every time for some reason but sometimes?? And even walking around, most the time nothing, then whack an aggro. Seemed like aggro was random at that point. Because I was soloing I decided to leave, 2 or 3 fires on me would = swimming to the zone, so wont be back without a healer. Also another note, was a monk there who had killed a greater fire, only big one he said but ALL types of elementals were KoS to him after that mob. Soo... I know this doesn't jive with everything else posted here. Draw your own conclusion, I only know this is how it went for me.
If your faction with the elementals is dubious or higher, only elementals of the same type that you are currently fighting will agro.
At threateningly and scowls, elementals of that type will agro without provocation. Killing any elemental lowers faction with all 4, but the faction for the particular type of elemental you killed is lowered greater.
OK, this is the skinny on Hydro. He hits for 80 and he "Water Blasts" for 110. Very disheartening when the rest of his minions only hit for 50s. Once again, he dropped the Belt of Growth. He conned dark blue to both a level 31 and a level 36, so perhaps minimum 35 is a tad off.
In regards to faction, I have been slaying the evil summoned beasts for several days and soon after I started they went from indif to dubious. Well, they stayed dubious while I killed two Berserk, three Hulking, four Gigantic, four Swift, and two Greaters. I finally, after perhaps 12 to 15 hours of elemental island, had to face off with Hydro. Guess what... now all the water elementals are scowling at me, ready to attack.
If you want some nice items for your upper twenties (in a group) or in your low thirties (soloing or pair), this is a great place to do it. Just be ready to go in for the long haul if you want one of the four boss elementals to spawn. As to how to make them spawn? Just keep slaying the evil beasts...
If you slaughter every type of elemental I found it's harder to get the named to spawn. If you kill every elemental of one or 2 types at most I found it spawns the named faster(I killed all air elementals on island and Aero popped within 10 minutes, did it again and a named air elemental popped within 10 minutes) so might try that.
Also Aero drops lesser guards of haste(ac 10, + 3 str/dex/agil, effect haste when worn, shoulder slot). Haste seems to be about 11 to 13% as have been using darkedged 2 hander and seems to drop from 40 to about 34-35 delay(estimated).
After spending days on this island, I have the following information. The best chance you have at getting any "greater" elemental (swift, beserk, gigantic, Aero, Hydro, Terra, and Inferno, etc) is to simply kill as many elementals as you can, as quickly as possible. Every time an elemental spawns, there is a chance that a "greater" elemental will spawn. Each "greater" elemental drops either a lesser or greater item, always. Once you kill a gigantic elemental or a named elemental of a particular type, you will become KOS for that particular type immediately. Otherwise, your faction goes down slowly each time you kill one, and goes up with the people in the castle on the island. Air Elementals are sometimes invisible, so having see invisible is a plus. It seems to me that killing the elementals near the Large Rocks in the middle of the island seems best, as the "greaters" always seem to spawn near these rocks, but, simply killing them all is best anyway. If you have a full group, the loot is plentiful, and for NON UBER folk, very good. I was there for 5 hours with a full group the other night, and everyone except me looted 2 items (I have all the items that dropped, and they are lore). In all the time I have spent on this island, which is well over 36 hours, I have only seen 1 named Elemental, Aero, once. I also know he spawned on patch day, after a server re-pop. If this helped, please rate it. Thanks.

All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
Do these guys help each other when you attack one? A Bard friend of mine and I crossed this island the other night and I was wondering how 2 guys were gonna pull singles to the shoreline.
Only like kinds help each other, ie., earths help earth, waters help water etc. Be aware, however that if you are kos to a certain kind, and you go near him, he will aggro you. Also make sure that you can see invis, if you want to pull the airs, as some are invised already and will aggro if you pull another close enough by. Otherwise, it is a safe job for your puller. A very underutilized zone in my opinion. Very good drops, and relatively safe too.

I spent 5 hours there this morning and saw no sign of social agro. Though I am 39 so most are green with a few lt. blues scattered in there so I can't say for sure.
I spent three evenings on the elemental island. The first evening I had a enchanter with me and we were killing everything. This didn't really seem to work that well. We saw a couple of berserker elementals and a couple of gigantic ones but none were of the water elemental variety.
The next evening I was only on the island a short time because I wasnt feeling to well. All I did was kill water elementals. In that short time I also killed a gigantic water elemental and a berserker water elemental.
The third evening again I only killed water elementals. After awhile there seemed to be 0 water elementals left on the island. Soon pop there was a Greater water elemental. I had never seen one that said greater before (and it isnt even listed here). He dropped a pretty nice set of sleeves. I then killed a few more plain water elementals until I couldn't find anymore. At which time I camped for a min to try and fix some of the lag I was experiencing. I got back in to find the lag was still there but said "oh well" and commenced to roaming the island again in search of water elementals. I saw one in the distance and commenced to heading toward it. As soon as I got it targeted I was very pleased to see the name "Hydro" on my target window. Dropped him fast and got the belt of growth.
In all this I would have to say. If you are looking for a certain named elemental do not bother killing them all, only kill the ones of the same kind of elemental and it will spawn.
That is Incorrect, you coudl clear the island if you kiklled fast enough, but the fire elementals have a sever DS, take soemoen with you who can cancel magic, one blast sems to do the trick and you can tear the island apart.
Could anyone tell me where this guys spawns and how you make him pop, I assume you kill all of the lower elementals on elemental island and wait for him to spawn. Also can anyone confirm if he is a summoned mob, like other elementals or if he is a monster.
Thanks very much

You are right,you need to clear island to get the Named & Lesser named Ellies to pop.We tried a few ways to see if you could get specific types to pop(ie. air elementals trying to spawn Aero,water for Hydro)That seemed to work as well but could have been a fluke.
