Daystar easily kills the elemental lich which you have to bypass to get the sword.
Spoiler:
I usually go to the tavern in the City Gates, haste a character (thief). Go into the tomb. When the lich turns red -- run. When the lich follows me into the tavern, I run back into the tomb and steal Daystar. At that point, the lich usually follows me back into the tomb. I run back into the tavern, Datystar in hand. Run out of the tavern and close the door. I switch Daystar to my best fighter -- again hasted, and head in to do some serious damage. If I can get close to the lich, hit a few times and run into the tomb or the tavern when he starts casting a spell, I take him out in no time at all. I don't even need to use Sunray. Thus the cat catches the mouse. I don't know about other liches, but this one is toast -- all thanks to Daystar.
