Ask fellow adventurers how to stay alive in the deep, dark, dangerous dungeon below, or share your own accumulated wisdom.

They have excellent magic resistance, but lack any elemental resistances, so it's not too hard to pile up the damage on them. Try to blast them at range before they can reach you.
If you aren't ready for it, their most dangerous attack flavour by far is cold. While rF+, rElec, rN+, and rPois are also highly recommended, facing them without at least rC+ is a gamble you should try to avoid.
Their constant blinking works against them if you have decent ranged attacks and a clear, open area to fight in. Use the time they spend running back into melee range with you to whittle away at their health from afar.

For what it's worth, as long as "respect (Ancient) Liches and Orbs of Fire" are also in your lessons, you've learned enough to nab that orb.
