The '''Twilight Lich''', also referred to as just the '''Lich''', resides on the top of a [[Lich Tower]]. It appears as a tall humanoid skeleton wearing a purple cape, and a large golden crown. Surrounding itself is a wall of shields to protect itself from any damage, but maybe they can be broken.

== Combat ==
This former wizard retains a wide variety of attacks and tricks, which it deploys throughout three basic phases.

=== Phase 1 ===
In its first phase, the Twilight Lich summons shadowy, invincible duplicates. The Lich itself is protected by a rotating ring of shields. Both the Twilight Lich and the duplicates fire blue-green projectiles that look like {{mcw|Ender Pearl|Ender Pearls}}. Quick-thinking adventurers report that the projectiles can be deflected with a properly-timed swing, similar to deflecting a {{mcw|Ghast|Ghast's}} fireballs. During the first phase, the Twilight Lich can be seen holding a [[Twilight Scepter]]. Every time the player reflects the Lich's projectiles back at it, it will remove one of its shields. It is highly advised to avoid deflecting projectiles if they are fireballs, as they will explode on touch, doing a serious amount of damage. 

Adventurers who have had the luck of defeating the Lich previously have also found that wielding it's [[Twilight Scepter]] is a very large advantage, as this scepter can be used against the Lich without the need to wait for the Lich to fire it's projectiles, potentially skipping the entirety of the first phase if done correctly.

=== Phase 2 ===
Its second phase begins when the Twilight Lich's shields are depleted, allowing the player to deal direct damage to the Lich. During this phase, the Lich switches to using a [[Zombie Scepter]], using it to summon an army of [[Loyal Zombie]]s to attack the player. The Lich may also assist these [[Loyal Zombie]]s by firing projectiles that were seen within the first phase of the fight. Ocassionally, the Lich will switch to a [[Scepter of Life Draining]], using it to heal itself while removing the nearby undead mobs, including it's summoned friends. 

Lucky adventurers have slain the Lich before the 3 phases of spawning [[Loyal Zombie]]s are over, though inexperienced adventurers may not be so lucky and can fail to slay the Twilight Lich during this phase.

=== Phase 3 ===
In its third phase, when the Lich runs out of zombies to summon, it will attack the player hand-to-hand with a Golden Sword and emit rage particles. The Lich will run after the player, attempting to chase them as long as possible. He is fast and agile, attempting to zig-zag out from player's attacks. Despite this, it seems that it is possible to run away from him, though it is warned that the Lich will teleport with unfortunate timing.

Adventurers are warned that the Twilight Lich may look old and just a pile of bones, but he is agile, and a single mistake could spell disaster.

== Treasure == 
The Twlight Lich drops a number of items when defeated. First, there is a strange array of Golden Armor and a Golden Sword, all strongly enchanted with seemingly random enchants. Be warned, however, that they may be cursed. Second, the Lich drops exactly one scepter, either the [[Twilight Scepter]], the [[Scepter of Life Draining]], the [[Zombie Scepter]], or the [[Scepter of Fortification]]. There is, on extremely rare occasions, a chance that the Lich may drop two of the scepters. Finally, the Lich drops around 1-4 {{mcw|Ender Pearl|Ender Pearls}}, several {{mcw|Bone|Bones}}, and the highly decorative [[Twilight Lich Trophy]]. Upon death, the [[Advancements|advancement]] '''<u>Bring Out Your Dead</u>''' will be given.

If the mod ''[[Immersive Engineering]]'' is installed, the Twilight Lich will also drop a Twilit Twilight Shader Grabbag and a Twilit Shader: Lich.

== Progression ==
When using the [[Progression]] system, the Lich Tower will be surrounded by a glowing green field. Blocks and monsters inside the tower proper will be protected from being broken or damaged. Killing the [[Naga]] and picking up one of its [[Naga Scale]]s will dispel the protection.

Defeating the Twilight Lich and picking up one of its magical scepters will remove the protection on the [[Swamp]], [[Dark Forest]], and [[Snowy Forest]], allowing access to the [[Labyrinth]], [[Goblin Knight Stronghold]] and [[Yeti Cave]] respectively.
