The Twilight 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, which it deploys in 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 Ender Pearls. Quick-thinking adventurers report that the projectiles can be deflected with a properly-timed swing, similar to deflecting a Ghast's fireballs. During the first phase, the Twilight Lich can be seen holding a Twilight Scepter. Every time the player reflects the Twilight Lich's projectiles back at it, it will remove one of its shields. Adventurers are warned not to deflect projectiles if they are fireballs, as they explode on touch.

Phase 2

Its second phase begins when the Twilight Lich's shields are depleted, allowing the player to deal damage to the Twilight Lich. In the second phase, the Twilight Lich switches to holding a Zombie Summoning Scepter, and uses it to to summon an army of Loyal Zombies to attack the player. Lucky adventurers have slain a Twilight Lich in this phase, though inexperienced adventurers may not slay a Twilight Lich during this phase.

Phase 3

In its third phase, when the Twilight Lich runs out of zombies to summon, it attacks the player hand-to-hand with a Golden Sword. In this phase, the Twilight Lich will emit rage particles. 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 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 effects. 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 Twlight Lich may drop two of the scepters. Finally, the Twilight Lich drops around 1-4 Ender Pearls, several Bones, and the highly decorative Twilight Lich Trophy.

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. Killing the Naga and picking up one of his Naga Scales will dispel the protection.

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