My last necromancer was a pure summoner, so I wanted to play a blaster. It was fun. I still ended up getting minions, because I like meatshields.

Died to a headless horror on the last level of Daikara. An eldritch eye confused me, while I was auto-exploring. And the headless horror manaclashed me to death. Revived with the blood of life. Became a lich soon afterwards. The game got easier once I unlocked the 2nd beam spell. The east was easier than in my previous playthrough. The talent scaling for some talents is less insane.

I encountered a weird bug in the last fight. When I entered Aeryn wasn't there and the bosses were targeting her... I got spammed with lua errors every turn and the game froze. I think it was due to having too many pets. I had 9, so I ended up removing my minions and entering the final fight with only my orc summoner husk. The final battle was very long. I summoned several minions and a forgery, then I turned invisible. I kept Elandar focused on my minions, while Aeryn distracted the reaver. The first half of the battle was spent closing the portals.

Eventually, Elandar killed Aeryn. And he chilled out in a corner for the remainder of the fight. A pack of drakes spawned and distracted the reaver. Killing the reaver was easy. I spammed minions and blasted him while he fought them. Elandar was annoying. He kept regenerating and healing, so I threw everything at him. Cauterize activated once while fighting him, due to being a bit too reckless towards the end.

Afterwards, I went to mage city to celebrate. I killed all the mages, then I attacked Linaniil. The new Linaniil is harder than Atamathon. Atamathon doesn't auto-revive multiple times with more HP and damage bonuses. Cauterize activated often, due to her meteoric crash prodigy. It has 0 cooldown, and it's capable of instant-killing me due to her damage bonuses.

I killed Linaniil a few times, but after the 3rd time she one-shot me so hard that cauterize nearly killed me. That's after being reduced by shields and fire wards. I only survived by abusing swift hands.

How many times does she revive?

Edit: Killed her again. At this point she keeps teleporting away and healing. :/ Interestingly, the staff of absorption's special ability works now. Is it a recent change? The effect is neat.

Five, IIRC.
Each time she's stronger, too.

Draconian body makes it hard to keep track. Yeah, I checked her character sheet and her damage seems to increase by 20% each time she dies.

Edit: Defeated Atamathon. It was much easier than fighting Linaniil.
