- The Cursed Book can be found in ancient cities, or is a rare drop from witches.
Place the candles in a circle around the amethyst block, then throw the Cursed Book ontop of the Amethyst. After you then light the candles, the Necromancer will spawn!
Here is how to place the blocks:
Attacks
The Necromancer has 2 modes, attack mode, and vulnerable mode. When he is purple, he is in attack mode. You can not harm him in this phase; you must evade his attacks until he turns red.
When he is red, he is vulnerable, meaning this is the time to damage him. Be warned, when he hits half health he gets much faster!
Attacks:
Necromancer has 3 attacks.
One of them is the Amethyst Spiral, where he will unleash a bunch of Amethyst Bolt spells in a spiral. This attack is indicated by purple particles around him before he casts it.
Another is the Electra Attack. In this attack, he will summon Electra spell fields att your feet. It is crucial to stay on the move while he casts this. It is signaled by blue particles around him before he casts it.
Finally, he can cast the Ascendio spell in a spoiral around him, similare to the Amethyst Spiral. This attack is signaled by yellow particles before he casts it.
