The Lich is a difficult Hardmode boss, that can be summoned at night after obtaining Hallowed Bars, Souls of Night and Pumpkins.
While The Lich is alive, the vanilla track Boss 3 will play.
Spawn
The Lich does not spawn on its own, and requires the player to summon it with a Grim Harvest Sigil at night.
Behavior
The Lich flies after nearby players, unleashing flaming attacks and ramming into the player for massive damage.
Attacks
- Rapidly fires flaming eye beams that set the hit player on fire that increase in frequency as health drops.
- Rains down enormous balls of flame that deal moderate damage to players.
- Releases a bolt of fire magic that stagnates mid-air or on tile impact. The resulting effect is a flaming vortex of immensely high damaging fire balls.
Expert Mode
- Upon reaching 12,800 life (40% health), the Lich's mask and hood will be torn off and it pulls out a scythe.
