Undead Mage (The Necromancer) Drops

• Skull Lantern (2%) (Chance increases per necromancer killed. Guaranteed drop from the last one you kill if none had dropped it before. Important note: some, like the third one who stands across from a bridge, are more likely than others to fall to their deaths spontaneously; if they dropped it and you failed to pick it up, your guarantee is gone.)

• Undead mages are weak up close, making them easy to kill.
• Many can be killed with a bow or crossbow from various positions with impunity.
• See the Skeletons page to see strategies against them.
