The Lychfield

How the Lychfield plays

A churchyard and its chapel, for level 20 characters who are not maxed yet. The dead rise as you pass.

• Graves wake up. Open Graves raise the Restless Dead when you walk past: slow, but they hit hard and keep coming. Don't drag a train into the next field.
• Kill the Deacon first. He raises more dead and makes everything near him Armored.
• Grave Wisps silence you for a moment. Keep your ability for after they're gone.
• Mourners keep their distance and wail a slow ring that slows whoever it touches.
• Banshees vanish and reappear behind you. Turn around when you hear the scream.
• Gravediggers bring the shovel down where you stand, then where you went.
• Bloated Dead burst when they die and hit hard around them: kill them from range.
• Sealed Sarcophagi hold T7 gear, and two armored Bone Wardens come out when one breaks.

Canon Vesper, the Bell Keeper

• Vespers (100-65% HP). The bell tolls: rings of twelve, aimed triple bolts, and three tolls that land where you stand, then a big one around him. Keep moving.
• Procession (65-30%). The congregation files in: Mourners and Restless Dead, hardened by his chant. He lobs bombs at range. Thin the dead or the room fills up.
• Last Rites (under 30%). "ENOUGH." He drops the hymn, charges, snaps at close range and fires alternating rings of fourteen.

He leaves three Grave Wisps behind when he dies. Drops: T9-T10 weapons and armor, T5-T6 abilities, stat potions and one of three soulbound uniques (Bell-Tongue Wand, Pallbearer's Plate, Sexton's Ring).
