So, after seeing the Banshee damaged with barrier spikes, can anyone confirm that it does the same on the Arc Lich in Metus? thoughts and comments welcome. :)

Would be pretty awesome to do for hunting and whatever else is there.

You can't.

Simply because you can't summon barrier spikes out in the field. Don't want people blocking towns now.

They aren't that strong... not that you can cast those barrier spikes anyways.

If you didn't know, you can use elf mules to kill arc lich there.

How should the plan be like if you want to use elf mules to kill arc lich there?
I never really knew how it should be carried out. Infiltrate by using hide and then what?

Well, you are supposed to somehow get the Bombsteads to bomb the Lich.

Some variation of this:

I never know the right time to get up from play dead for the Bomb Steeds to blow up the Lich. I heard it was something about it turning red, but it took a long time for that to happen.

You don't get up, you sit there until they blow up on him, and you res at the tent.
You just have to use bolting before you play dead, and pets after you play dead, to get as many as you can to aggro you or walk over to where Lich is.

Edit: Oh, I see what you mean.
In that video..
I'm not really sure why she would get up before they blew up just to die...since that would have happened anyway.
