"The cadaveric disciple to the defiler of life, always on the hunt for more souls to add to its collection."

The Lich is a difficult Hardmode boss that is fought near the Natural Graveyard.

While the Lich is alive, its exclusive music Harvest Night will play.

Spawn

The Lich does not spawn on its own, and requires the player to summon it with 30 Pumpkins at an Ancient Phylactery in the Natural Graveyard. It can only be summoned after the player has defeated all three mechanical bosses and it is night time.

Behavior

The Lich flies after nearby players, unleashing dark magical attacks, and ramming into the player for massive damage.

Attacks

  • Rapidly fires flaming eye beams that set the player on fire.
    • Beam increases frequency as the bosses' health drops
  • Periodically chooses between three different attacks.
    • Rains down enormous balls of flame that deal damage to players and set them on fire.
    • Summons a spinning ring of flaming pumpkins that fire at the nearest player.
    • Teleports around the player, firing a spread of shadowy pumpkins at them.

Expert Mode

  • Upon reaching 25% health, the Lich's mask and hood will be torn off and it will pull out a scythe.
