| The '''Lich''' is a [[Pureblood Heartless]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. Unlike other [[Heartless]], it does not consume [[hearts]] to create more Heartless. Rather, it captures hearts and ferries them to the abyss of [[darkness]]. But, if caught in time, it can be forced to relinquish the hearts it has captured, allowing them to return to their [[bodies]]. | | The '''Lich''' is a [[Pureblood Heartless]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''.

After [[Sora]] chases the Lich down and frees Riku's heart, the Lich flees into a portal leading to other worlds to claim the hearts of the other fallen warriors—[[Aqua]] at the [[Northern Waters]] in [[The Caribbean]], [[Goofy]] at the [[Middle Tier]] in [[Arendelle]], [[Donald Duck]] at the [[Lobby & Offices]] in [[Monstropolis]], [[Ventus]] at [[Main Floor: 1F]] in [[Toy Box]], [[Mickey Mouse]] at the [[Marsh]] in [[Kingdom of Corona]], and [[Lea]] at the [[Central District]] in [[San Fransokyo]]—forcing Sora to use the [[power of waking]] to give pursuit. Upon finally vanquishing the Lich, Sora is told by [[Young Xehanort]] that he has misused the [[power of waking]] too many times, and is condemned to meet the same fate as those whose hearts are taken by the Lich. | | The Lich first appears at the {{c|Courtyard|ol}} to collect [[Riku]]'s heart after the guardians of light have been consumed by a [[Demon Tide]] and scattered across the worlds.

| ===''Kingdom Hearts III''=== | | ===Attacks=== |
| The Lich has a broad arsenal of magic, which grows stronger with every fight, and it must be defeated seven times before the battle is truly over. Each fight will take place in a different world.
| | ====''Kingdom Hearts III''==== |
| | | *{{nihongo|'''Afterimage Slide'''|残像スライド|Zanzō Suraido}}<!--Olympus, Toy Box, Kingdom of Corona, Monstropolis, Arendelle, The Caribbean, San Fransokyo--> |
| The first fight will take place in [[Olympus]]. Sora must chase it through the corridors, which are filled with [[Shadow]]s and [[Neoshadow]]s. Despite [[Jiminy Cricket]]'s many warnings, they can be slain for extra experience. At the end of the corridors, the Lich will open a [[Corridor of Darkness]] to the Apex, where the true fight begins. The Lich has three attacks, '''Afterimage Slide''', '''6-fold Fire''', and '''Aerora'''. The fire and aero attacks can be blocked. However, avoiding the afterimages can be tricky because, if Sora is locked on to it when it slides, he will remain locked on to the afterimage. [[Air Slide]] is good for avoiding the explosion. Due to only having three health bars, the fight will end quickly.
| | *{{nihongo|'''6-fold Fire'''|６連ファイア|6-ren Faia}}<!--Olympus, Toy Box, Kingdom of Corona, Monstropolis, Arendelle, The Caribbean, San Fransokyo--> |
| | | *{{nihongo|'''Aerora'''|エアロラ|Earora}}<!--Olympus, Toy Box, Kingdom of Corona, Monstropolis, Arendelle, The Caribbean, San Fransokyo--> |
| Following the Lich's first defeat, it retreats through another Corridor of Darkness, leading Sora into a Dive to the Heart where he must dive into five more areas to fight the Lich. The order of the next five fights depends on the order Sora dives into the arena, and each arena gives the Lich a new attack.
| | *{{nihongo|'''Thunder Disc'''|サンダーディスク|Sandā Disuku}}<!--Toy Box, San Fransokyo--> |
| | | *{{nihongo|'''Cloud Magic'''|クラウドマジック|Kuraudo Majikku}}<!--Kingdom of Corona, San Fransokyo--> |
| *'''Toy Box''': This fight takes place in the Main Floor: 1F area. It can now use the '''Thunder Disc''' attack, which summons electrical discs that charge at Sora and will electrify him. They can be blocked. It is assisted at the start of the battle by [[Marionette]]s, which can possess any toy they get close to. Kill them if necessary, but focus on the boss.
| | *{{nihongo|'''Fire Turn'''|ファイアターン|Faia Tān}}<!--Monstropolis, San Fransokyo--> |
| *'''Kingdom of Corona''': This fight takes place in the Marsh. It can now use the '''Cloud Magic''' attack, which summons clouds that inflict the {{c|cloud|status}} status, and thus must be dodged. It is flanked by several [[Fluttering]]s that spawn at the beginning of the fight. This part of the fight can be particularly tough due to the large area of trees that the boss can run away into, as well as the lack of lighting.
| | *{{nihongo|'''Blizzaga'''|ブリザガ|Burizaga}}<!--Arendelle, San Fransokyo--> |
| *'''Monstropolis''': This fight takes place in the Lobby & Offices area. It can now use the '''Fire Turn''' attack, which summons 6 fireballs that move in different directions before charging at Sora. The charge can be cancelled by attacking it as he summons the fireballs. After having its HP reduced to 50%, it will disappear from the screen and summon [[Large Body]]s to attack Sora. After they are all defeated, the Lich will reappear. This can avoided by killing it quickly, before it summons the enemies.
| | *{{nihongo|'''Afterimage Water'''|残像ウォータ|Zanzō Wōta}}<!--The Caribbean, San Fransokyo--> |
| *'''Arendelle''': This fight takes place in the Labyrinth of Ice. It can now use '''Blizzaga''', which will freeze Sora unless he has [[Freeze Protection]] equipped. This attack is telegraphed by the Lich's eyes glowing blue. It is now flanked by [[Winterhorn]]s upon its HP being reduced to 50%.
| | <!-- |
| *'''The Caribbean''': This fight takes place on a ship. It can now use '''Afterimage Water''', which causes its afterimages to use Water magic. It is now assisted by [[Vaporfly]]s upon its HP being reduced to 80%. Simply dodge the water, block all its attacks, and mash it with combos until it dies.
| | Toy Box: Marionette |
| | | Kingdom of Corona: Fluttering |
| After the Lich's sixth defeat, Sora must dive into the Central District of '''San Fransokyo''' for a final showdown. It uses all of its attacks from the previous fights, and the Neoshadows return to assist the Lich when its HP is reduced to 90% and 70% HP.
| | Monstropolis: Large Body |
| | | Arendelle: Winterhorn |
| Upon its final defeat, Sora will gain a max MP increase, and learn Aeroga.
| | The Caribbean: Vaporfly |
