Lich

From Diablo 2 Wiki
Hf-mon-liches.jpg

Liches and Arch Liches are Undead.

These ghostly, floating zombie mages possess a powerful, fast-firing projectile attack that deals magical damage, like the Bloodstars of the Succubi The Lich's projectiles look a bit like colorful jellyfish, and are fired very rapidly.

Arch Liches are triple immune on hell difficulty, making them one of the tougher enemies for Sorcerers and other mage characters to deal with in the Crypt.

Liches fire projectiles when they are at a safe distance; at least 3 spaces from a character. They will flee when melee characters draw closer than that, and they move slowly, but without pause, so can be tough to track down or corner.

  • There are no SuperUnique or boss Liches or Arch Liches in Hellfire.
