BOSS: Lich

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Resists: Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Slow, Stop.
  • After Gravity: Resists Gravity.
  • Weakness: Holy (effective against visible and invisible states).

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Disabling the Sphere
    • Lich activates two switches, creating a protective sphere.
    • Defeat the Skeleton.
    • Cast Fire, Blizzard, or Thunder on the two switches to lower the sphere.
  2. Phase 2: Attacking the Lich
    • Cast Gravity once on the Lich for significant damage (about a third of its health).
    • Use Holy repeatedly for massive damage, regardless of Lich's visibility.
    • Lich is sometimes transparent and sometimes solid.
  3. Phase 3: Lich's Attacks
    • Electrical Storm: Lich creates a glowing blue halo. Run far away. This attack has a huge radius and causes paralysis.
    • Rock Attack: If you get close, a spot of white light appears, followed by a fast-moving rock. This is a weaker attack.
    • Charged Spell (Rare): Lich charges a purple and black sphere. Move away to avoid massive damage.
  4. Cycles Two and Three: Shockwaves
    • Lich sends out two yellow shockwaves that knock you down but do not damage you. Avoid these to prevent follow-up attacks.

Strategy:

  • Cast Gravity once at the start of the battle for a large chunk of damage.
  • Use Holy exclusively for damage after Gravity.
  • Be prepared to run from the electrical storm attack.
  • Try to avoid the rock attack when you get close to Lich.
  • Move away from Lich when it charges its rare spell.
  • Avoid the yellow shockwaves in later cycles.
  • Physical attacks are not recommended.
  • Final drop of Myrrh for year four.
  • Begin year five.
  • Talk to family for a good item.
  • Travel to Lynari Isle via Port Tipa.
Tips
  • Ensure you are at full health before entering the pyramid.
  • Be capable of casting Gravity and Holy.
