Lich leveling up good?

[FB_Destroyer_Rebecca]

Is it actually something I should endorse?
What downside do I have in taking a roll and try the rune-setup I have to kill him but eventually will fail. (makes him level up), other than he getting stronger.

For Achievement Hunters, a new challenge has been added in-game: That Which Does Not Kill Us.

Vanquish a Rank 5 Kuva Lich.


Reading the wiki, I couldn't find advantages of letting the Lich reach rank 5 on purpose instead of killing it earlier than that. I suppose some players want him at a higher level for more challenge. (He will steal more from you, though)

[FB_Destroyer_Rebecca]

WTF what are those option when you find out the rune order?
Vanquish and .....cant remember the other one.
Man DE again gives no info ingame.
So what do this two options actually do?
One is obviously killing him giving back every item they stole.
But how do I obtain his weapon or is or just rng again?

Vanquish and Convert.
Convert turns them into an npc that will sometimes spawn into your missions to help you out.
Vanquish kills them and you get their weapon and all your stolen goods back.
If you have no available weapon slots for the weapon it will be in the foundry ready to be claimed

Mine just reached Rank2, and I've never fought the thing. I've heard it increases in rank when you fail to defeat it (via wrong requiem combo, etc), but is it meant to just passively increase in rank too?

Is there a cooldown before you can get your next larva after you killed the lich?
Btw is there a max level a lich can get?

I'm not sure. I've only just killed my first one.
He was at level 3, no idea if it goes higher.

After I did 3 more survival missions I got another lich (my 2nd now).
It turns out only one can kill the larva so you have to be the one that kills it for it to activate for you.
Going to try now to get him as high as possible ;)

They cap out at 5, which will make the missions harder, but also reward you with more thralls/murmurs. You want to attempt to kill him as often as possible to figure out the sequence or get lucky and completely guess a rune, which will transfer your current murmurs to the next unlock. Attempting to keep them at 1 is a waste of time on top of the already wasted time doing missions that effectively yield nothing productive for you (other than leveling gear). The only time you don't want to attempt to mercy it is if you're at 49/50 murmurs on the last rune, because it will delay the time when he invades the next time.

So, from what it sounds like, no point in raising his level (unless you want to use murmurs faster to find out right combo to use to kill him with)??. wish there was more of a benefit tbh.....
