The Necromancer has two advanced paths which are unlocked differently than other classes:

• Lich: A necromancer who reached the pinnacle of his abilities, existing between life and death; excels in necromancy but has greatly reduced combat skills. Unlocked by using Black Skull of Mastery obtained from defeating the Lich boss as a Necromancer.
• Witchdoctor: Alternative subclass path for Necromancer (specific unlock mechanism).

The Necromancer class can be unlocked by slaying the Lich with any other class. The Necromancer class also spawns as a special NPC in the Prison level.
