Ultima IX: Ascension Hints

How can I defeat the Lich?

  • 1 of 3: The Lich is a very formidable opponent, especially since he continues to fade in and out during the battle.  Lucky for you, he becomes visible just before he attacks.
  • 2 of 3: Take care of the first group of zombies before tackling the Lich.  If you back him up in a corner, you may be able to strike him continually, thus preventing him from calling forth more zombies or casting other spells.
  • 3 of 3: Use the very best weapon you have (the Glass Sword if you have one).  Believe it or not, I defeated the Lich with a Bladed Staff!  Remember that he can be hurt even when invisible.
