How can I defeat the lich?
  • 1 of 3: This guy is REALLY tough -- he has an annoying tendency to cast Time Stop.
  • 2 of 3: He also likes to cast Gate, but that can easily be countered by a Protection from Evil 10 Foot Radius, AND the lich will sometimes actually attack the Pit Fiend, giving you some easy shots at him.
  • 3 of 3: Once you beat him, loot his body for some cool stuff.  Also open the chest to find Daystar, a sunblade, which is +4 against undead and can cast Sunray once per day.
