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 boss in Necropolis with any other class. The Necromancer class also spawns as a special NPC in the Prison level.
