Siege of Dragonspear Legacy of Bhaal Difficulty Guide Part 2 - How to Kill the Lich
15Continuing on to Chapter 8, we get the opportunity to recruit more party members. Corwin earns a spot as a great archer and source of single target DPS, while Glint providing Healing and Divine spells. Our core party is now complete with Darksbane as the Tank, Corwin as the DPS, Glint as the support and Safana as the controller. We also have all thievery skills covered with Safana providing Stealth and Pickpocket and Glint having Open Locks and Find Traps.
Making our way through dungeons in Dragonspear involves large groups of enemies at a time, to navigate this I highly recommend using the spell Animate Dead. Glint gets this as a Level 3 Divine Spell and Safana gets it as a level 5 Arcane spell. Once your caster is level 7 these summon a skeletal warrior which has good damage, solid magic resistance and physical resistance. These summons make great tanks, and allow for dispensable troops when needed.
With extra summons you get tremendous value out of AoE buff spells like Haste and Bless. With Glint, you also get access to great Cleric spells like Protection from Evil (radius) and Chant to get further value out of your summons. With careful positioning you can use these summons as a front line to defeat the large groups of enemies as you advance further into the Liches lair.
Clear a path towards to pillar puzzle and ensure you got "The Secret Revealed" from the dwarves before spawning the Lich. Make sure you've cleared any traps on Safana's path to the elemental room and position your party at the entrance of the dungeon. Then have Safana and some Skeletons head towards to the LIches chamber. Use the Skeletons as a distraction to allow Safana to make her way to the Liches chamber. Use pickpocket to steal the key and open the hidden door to the North, then activate the 2nd pillar to the left to secure the phylactery.
At this point the Lich will be hostile and cast Time Stop and start heading towards the rest of your party. Fortunately the time stop will expire before he arrives. Use "The Secret Revealed" to remove the Lich's immunities and inflict Miscast Magic before having your party attack. Meanwhile have Safana make her way to the elemental chamber to destroy the phylactery. This will cause a cutscene to trigger while your party is fighting the Lich. Once the Lich is defeated and the phylactery destroyed, the quest is completed.
