'''Ancient liches''' are extremely powerful undead casters with resistance to [[fire]], near immunity to [[cold]] and [[electricity]], and complete immunity to [[poison]] and [[negative energy]]. They can deal ridiculous amounts of damage at medium range (player death in one or two hits is not unheard of) and can summon hordes of greater demons. If you are not confident in your skills, escape is strongly advised. Ancient liches can be found in certain [[vault]]s of the [[Dungeon]] and most later [[branch]]es, and are a common sight in the orb chamber of [[the Realm of Zot]].

==Tips & Tricks==
 
−
Ancient liches are vulnerable to [[Dispel Undead]], weapons of [[holy wrath]], [[the Shining One]]'s Cleansing Flame, and [[Silence]], but be prepared to escape quickly if they start summoning or hit you with a crystal spear. Their melee attacks are [[draining]] branded a la [[wraith]]s and [[wight]]s, but don't do much damage, so Silence renders them mostly harmless as long as it lasts.
 
−
 
−
Ancient liches are immune to magic, making most [[Hexes]] useless against them. [[Scrolls of vulnerability]] will have no effect on them.
 
−
 
−
Those without 200+ HP should keep their distance (at least 6 squares to avoid [[Iron Shot]], 7 for [[Bolt of Draining]]/[[Bolt of Fire]], and 8 for [[Bolt of Cold]]) and use their longest range attacks. [[Mass Abjuration]] is very effective to get rid of the summons, provided you have it. [[Haste]] is also useful.
 
−
 
−
As with [[wizard]]s and other casters with multiple spell sets, observe what the lich is casting to have an idea of what to expect.  For example, you know that a lich that casts [[Iron Shot]] or [[Bolt of Fire]] also knows [[Summon Greater Demon]].
 
−
 
−
If you're a melee-focused character with no choice in the matter, try to get into melee as quickly as possible. A [[scroll of blinking]] can get you into killing range without getting hammered by half a dozen lethal spells, [[life protection]] can make the actual fight less painful, and [[berserk]]ing will help you cut them down in half the time.
