I lost my Survivor title again, but in a stupid way.

Gates of Madness.

Now you may be thinking: OMG HE LOST IT FROM SHIRO'S IMPOSSIBLE ODDS!1!!1

Let me tell you this: You are wrong. Lost it because of the Lich

I'm a Ranger, and the responsibility was for me to pull him to the door. I thought, "No problem. He can't possibly do that much damage to me".

Wrong.

I remember in Prophecies how the Lich used to only do somewhere around 60 damage with his staff. Well, I underestimated his power, thinking that it only did the same amount.

Needless to say, my Survivor title ended because the Lich hit me with TWO 280 damage staff shots. Normally I would've just closed the game out but I was in shock that he did so much, as he never used to in Prophecies. Then I heard the death cry of my Ranger, and it was all over


One tip I have for all you aspiring survivors out there:

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF ANY MONSTER, BOSS, OR DEMON.

I'm impressed that you even went into that mission with a Survivor title. Most would have avoided it or stayed WAY at the back. Did you get to rank 2 at least?

Lich is powerful but , he only has one aoe damage attack life vortex? So he can only hit single targets so you should have had a prot monk with guardian , or I use a ele with blurred vision for the whole Mission ;

Ele : Blurred , Water Trident , Ice Spear , IcE PrISOn (Bonus) Water attunment , glyph of lesser energy , Empathy (Shiro,,,) Res

4 Monk , 1 spoilt Necro , Devona .

Anyways, i usually bring a healer hero, one of the necro heroes set as N/Me with loads of interrupts (the main one being, Power Block, wewt), and someone who can deal deep wounds.

If you're a monk yourself, leave out the healer hero, bring a ranger hero with Broad Head Arrow, and put epidemic on the N/Me.

Henchmen in Elona usually are 2 ele's, 2 monks.

Works like a charm to beat bosses, and almost anywhere in PvE, actually.
