For the unique found earlier in the game, see Josephine.

Useful Info

Josephina the Ice-Lich is a unique lich, who comes with powerful simulacra that she can then blow up. She always spawns with a randart ring of ice.

Josephina is an alternate version of Josephine. If Josephine has spawned, then Josephina won't, and vice-versa.

Tips & Tricks

  • Cold resistance is obviously very helpful -- get as much as you can. Simulacra hit hard, and that's before they start violently exploding in your face.
    • Negative energy resistance is also helpful for mitigating the impact of her Ghostly Fireballs, though that's somewhat of a lower priority.
  • Line-of-sight limiting tactics such as scrolls of fog can separate Josephina from her simulacra assistants, or force her to approach you where her effectiveness will be significantly diminished.
  • Like any other lich, all of Josephina's spells are completely shut down by Silence.
  • She is unable to use player-allied simulacra to fuel her devastating Seracfalls. If you possess the spell Simulacrum, do not hesitate to send your own batch of icy undead for her to work through.
