[Kuva Lich theft: Bad luck or malice?]

Right, okay, that's my answer then, thanks so much.

(For some reason I think that some of the nodes I cleared on Ceres have reactivated again? But maybe I need to keep up a more consistent campaign against the Lich).

To the best of my knowledge, this is pure luck (or in this case, bad luck). You're going to have to either drive your Lich out of that planet or kill/convert him in order to farm that last part in peace.

Of course, whichever one you choose depends on how far along you are in defeating your Lich; if it's not far, then I suggest clearing the nodes so that he moves onto another planet. If you have a bunch of known requiem mods, though, then it's probably best to simply defeat him before you do anything else.

Oh, hang on, this is something which I thought was maybe possibly doable but didn't seem to be working. Can I clear this Lich off Ceres completely and let him ruin some other planet so that I can kill V&K in peace?

I have a Kuva Lich based on Ceres, and unfortunately have had pretty terrible luck with Requiem Mods so he's been a bugger to kill. The problem is that, in addition to trying to kill this Lich, I'm also trying to build the Miter. I have killed Vor & Kril dozens of times, and collected four out of the five parts -- all I'm missing is the Barrel.

The problem is that, without fail, every single dang time I roll the Barrel, the Lich steals it. He has a Scrooge McDuck money vault full of Miter Barrels.

I'm wondering, have I just been terribly unlucky, or will the Lich continue to steal the Barrel every single time I get it from the loot drops? Should I keep banging my head against V&K or work on killing the Lich and breaking into his barrel vault instead?
