We were rocking through the mission last night.

We killed the Lich and he......*gasps*.....respawned. He then wiped us out.

I thought he was on the altar, where we were told to kill him.

Wait....maybe it was the Lich himself who told us to kill him on the altar, as he was posing as the Vizier.....hmmmm.

Anyway, anyone have any input to kill the Lich without him respawning.

It was a LONG, hard mission and I'd rather not try it 10 times to figure this out.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure he's on the bloodstone when he dies. When he gets low he likes to teleport out into the lava. And keep your guard up when you kill him incase he res's, which he sometimes does even on the bloodstone.

Thanks Dargon. Btw, is there a limit to the number of times he can rez?

I'm well aware of the lava porting.

The several times i've done it he respawns twice i think (meaning you have to kill him 3x)... even if you kill him on the bloodstone, but i could be wrong.

Bring a hydromancer with ward against harm, and you can sleep through the mission.

The lich fight seems bugged. Officially, you have to kill him 3 times on the bloodstone to end it. But sometimes when you kill him, it counts as more than one kill. Every time he revives, he brings 2 of the wussy titans with him.

For example, during one of our hell runs, we killed the lich on the bloodstone once. He spawned 4 titans which we got rid of, then killed him again to end the game.
Few days later on the next run, we kill the lich once and he only spawns 2 titans. We dispatch them and kill him again. Once again, 2 titans and he healed back up. Killed him again and he stayed down.
Two weeks after that, we were up for hell again. Killed him once, spawned 2 guys. Got rid of them and killed him again. The mission ended.

So I think it's a random glitch how many times he actually "dies" when you kill him on the bloodstone. Or maybe it was meant that way so kills on the bloodstone counted as more than one death occasionally.

As you kill him the seals or w/e the standing stones are light up and part of the dome around the doorway place in the lava is repaired, Killing him once repairs 2 of the stones at once I believe (been awhile) Have to kill him as many times as it takes to repair them all.

I only had to kill him once. Judges Insight on my arrows, complimented with Tigers Fury mean't I was doing more dmg than both warriors that were trying to dice him up . I know this because each time my arrows hit, I could see a noticable drop in his health bar, where as the warriors were only making it vibrate a little

Ya, it's weird how the number of times to kill him seems random. Sometimes, my group only needs to kill him once and the cut-scene starts. Other times, had to kill him three times. Both times, we killed him on the round dais.

I was playing my elem when he spawned three times...it was a great fight. Throughout the mission I cast Ward against Elements/Fire Storm while the ranger cast Winter so Fire Storm did tons of cold damage. And the W/E cast ward against melee.

You have to make sure he's exactly in the center of the bloodstone. Sometimes he will tele away right before he dies, so he will respawn even if it appeared that you killed him correctly.

When my party beat the mission we only had to kill him once to get the cutscene.

I could be dreaming but I think the number of times to kill him also depends on how many party members there are. When I had a complete 8-man team, I had to to kill him 3 times. When 1 or 2 dropped, only had to kill him once.

Couldn't be that, I was in a group of 8 and when we took him down it went straight to cutscene, none of that respawning hooey. Served him right, too- he teleported *me* into the lave once, the punk.
