The Twilight Lich is a boss mob added by Twilight Forest that can be found in the top level of a Lich Tower. It is a tall skeleton-like creature wearing a purple cape and golden crown. The Twilight Lich holds a scepter that has the functionality of all four of the Scepters, but it only drops one type of Scepter on death. There is an achievement for gathering all four of the Scepters.
Combat[]
The fight is divided into three main stages.
The first stage is where the Twilight Lich spawns two clones with Scepters of Twilight to cast Ender Pearl projectiles. The Twilight Lich also uses the Scepter of Twilight function of its omni-scepter in this phase of the battle. In the first stage, you cannot directly damage it: you will have to take down its shields first. It has 5 shields orbiting around it. Melee, shoot it, or try to deflect its own projectiles back at it. Reflecting its own projectile also destroys one shield each time. Another way to remove its shields is to use a Rapier from the TContructs mod, this weapon allows you to execute armor-piercing attacks on the Lich, making this an easier fight. Once all shields are destroyed, stage two begins.
During stage two, the Twilight Lich spawns zombie minions. These minions will spawn with different kinds of vanilla armor. They gain more and more powerful armor as the fight progresses, usually with gold as the final tier of the stage. In stage two, the player is able to damage the Twilight Lich. Dealing enough damage will trigger stage three of the Twilight Lich fight.
During stage three, when the player gets the Twilight Lich to only have three zombie minions attacking that player, it will pull out a Gold Sword and start chasing the player. It will still teleport when the player hits the it, though. Stage three's objective is to survive the Lich's attacks and finally defeat it. This can be difficult due to its sporadic teleportation and aggressive movement.
Treasure[]
The Twilight Lich drops a number of items when defeated. First, there is a strange array of golden armor and a golden sword, all imbued with powerful enchantments. Second, it drops one scepter, either Scepter of Fortification, Scepter of Life Draining, Scepter of Twilight, or the Zombie Scepter. Finally, the Twilight Lich drops around 1-4 Ender Pearls, a couple of bones, and the decorative Twilight Lich Trophy.
Trivia[]
- The Twilight Lich can be damaged and killed by its own fireball explosions or by a Fire Staff.
- The Twilight Lich minion clones can't take damage.
- (Possible bug) Using an Ender Giant Sword, the Lich minions were easily defeated in 2-3 hits.
- It is possible to get the minions to hit the Twilight Lich by putting it in between you and the minion.
- The zombie minions have a chance to spawn with armor equipped, the odds of which increases as the battle progresses.
- Twilight Lich's shields can each be destroyed by armor-piercing damage, like that from Scepter of Twilight, Scepter of Life Draining and Rapier.
- The Twilight Lich can teleport outside the castle.
- Twilight Lich's shields are destroyed based on number of attacks, not attack damage. This means you can throw snowballs to destroy the shields.
