The Lich, also called the Corrupted Champion, is a multi-phase boss added by The Graveyard. It has 400 health in its first phase and fights with spells as well as melee attacks. It is the boss that drops the five bone staffs, which summon Ghoulings when used. The Lich is never generated naturally. A player must use an altar with the right materials to start the fight, and the boss stays near that altar for the first phase.

The Lich is a Monster-category entity. Its attributes are fixed in code: 400 maximum health, 30 attack damage, 18 armour, 14 armour toughness, 25 follow range and 1 knockback resistance. The pack adds it to the #c:bosses tag, so the Tide's Pocket Watch cannot freeze or skip the fight.

Spawning

The Lich does not spawn in any biome or structure. It appears only when a player summons it at an altar. The summon needs three things:

• Time: the altar must be used after nightfall.
• Blood: a Vial of Blood that holds at least 0.8 blood. The vial is filled by killing villagers with the Bone Dagger while a glass bottle is held in the offhand.
• Staff fragments: the three Ominous Bone Staff Fragments (upper, middle and lower). The config option summoningNeedsStaffFragments is on by default. The default config also accepts a debug stick as an alternate altar trigger.

Using the altar sets its bloody state to false.

Does not spawn naturally in any biome (see Obtaining/Spawning text).

Behavior

The fight is divided into phases. Each phase has its own health pool and set of attacks.

Casting phase

At the start of the fight the Lich has 400 health. It attacks in melee for 30 base damage and casts spells on cooldowns. The spells are:

• Summon fallen corpses: summons Falling Corpses (see Variants). The spell lasts 400 ticks, and its cooldown is 400 ticks.
• Conjure fangs: summons evoker fangs.
• Shoot skulls: fires skull projectiles. Up to 5 skulls are fired per cast.
• Teleport and heal: the Lich teleports back to its home position and heals. The heal lasts 700 ticks, with a cooldown of 600 ticks.
• Levitation: levitates the target for 150 ticks, with a cooldown of 400 ticks.

The Lich is invulnerable while it casts spells.

Hunt phase

When the casting phase ends, the Lich's health is set to 200 and it begins the hunt. The hunt lasts 800 ticks (40 seconds). A loud cracking sound signals that the hunt is starting.

• Players in range are teleported to random nearby positions, and they receive blindness (level III, 80 ticks) every 50 ticks of the hunt. Creative-mode players are not affected.
• While it is attacking, the Lich gets +40 attack damage (70 in total) and +0.15 movement speed. Both values are hard-coded.
• The Lich is invulnerable during its spells in this phase as well.

Summoned ghouls

During the fight, ghouls are summoned on a timer. A ghoul is summoned every 400 ticks until the fight has run for 6000 ticks. After that, a ghoul is summoned every 600 ticks until 12000 ticks. At most 30 summoned mobs are alive at once.

Final form

After the hunt, the Lich enters its final form, which keeps attacking.

Drops

The Lich drops one of the five bone staffs. Each staff is a different colour and summons a different Ghouling variant. The drop is guaranteed, with a count of one.

Falling Corpse

No item drops.

Tips

• Have the three Ominous Bone Staff Fragments and a Vial of Blood with at least 0.8 blood before going to the altar. The altar will not start the fight without them.
• Creative-mode players are not blinded or teleported by the hunt. Survival players should plan for the blindness, which lasts 80 ticks and is reapplied every 50 ticks during the hunt.
• Ghoul summons slow down after 6000 ticks of fight time and stop after 12000 ticks. A long fight produces more summons than a short one.
• The Lich's hunt is the most dangerous part of the fight. Its attack damage rises to 70 while it is attacking, so avoid melee range during the hunt.
