I've noticed some monster seem to do more than one type of damage, for example larva mage. One of their attacks does 2d8+8 cold and necrotic damage? Does this mean if you have resistance to one you have resistance to the attack or do you have to have resistance to both?

Do if you have resist cold but not necrotic you take full damage.
I can't quite remember where I read it, but I know I did.
