Liches are aggressive undead creatures which attack using powerful spells. Liches are generally not found in the wild, but can occasionally be seen emerging from Dark Anchors and Dark Fissures, present among necromantic organizations or in places teeming with the dead.

Skills and Abilities[edit]
As they are considered elite enemies, Liches are immune to all forms of crowd control effects.
- Necrotic Spear
- A basic ranged attack that does minor magical damage, and can be blocked or dodged to reduce damage.
- Defiled Ground
- A rune that is cast on the ground, indicated by a red circle. Standing in it will snare the player and do moderate magical damage over time to him or her. Stay out of the red circle to avoid this.
- Soul Cage
- The lich will summon three to five lich crystals from the ground around it, as indicated by white cracks on the ground. Standing near the crystals as indicated by the red circles will do moderate magical damage over time to the player. This attack is always followed by Soul Rupture. Stay at range when this spell is cast to avoid the lich crystals. Standing in the circles could cause you to become Chilled.
- Soul Rupture
- After a short time, the crystals explode, dealing moderate magical damage to all players within the red circle. Getting hit by the exploding crystals will cause the player to be lifted above ground briefly; the player can break free from this.
