Talic (along with [[Madawc]] and [[Korlic]]) and is one of the three Barbarian statues that come to life and must be defeated in the [[Quests_Act_Five#Quest_Five:_Rite_of_Passage|Rite of Passage quest]]. He boasts a flaming sword and fiery red armor, and can use the Whirlwind skill to land multiple hits with one flaming pass.
[[Image:Mon-talic.jpg|frame|left]]Prior to v1.09, Talic and the other Ancients were much fiercer, since their benefits from the random [[Monster Modifiers]] they gained were uncapped, and enabled them to stack multiple immunities on Hell. Players were frequently forced to use a town portal to reset the level and try again until they "rerolled" properties on the Ancients that could be dealt with. Since v1.09, the maximum gains from random properties are capped, making the Ancients more predictable, less dangerous, and somewhat less fun.
* All values are listed by difficulty level: '''Normal / Nightmare / Hell.'''

==Offense==
Talic and the other 2 Barbarian Guardians do not have any permanent [[Monster Modifiers|modifiers]], but they all gain, at random, 1 on Nightmare and 2 on Hell.
==Defenses==
Like all SuperUniques, Talic does not regenerate hit points.
==Resistances==
* Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
* <font color="#FF0000">Immunities</font> can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the [[Resistances#Immunities|Resistances]] page for more details.
==Locations==
All SuperUniques (except for [[Uber Diablo]]) are found in roughly the same location every game, on all three difficulty levels. (Except for the [[Uber Monsters]] who are only found on Hell Difficulty.)
==Lore==
Talic is from the Western Shores of the Barbarian Kingdom. At a young age, Talic had already mastered several of the barbarian skills. He was only 19 when he was called to serve the Ancients. Before his calling, he had only heard legends of Mt. Arreat. The Kae Huron mountain range, where lies Arreat, isn't even visible from warm waters he grew up around.
Talic rose from his chair, standing a head taller than the Seer, and told her fiercely "I won't go." He had refused. He told the Seer to choose another. Kala looked at him and said the choice was not hers to make. The Ancients had spoken to her of a young warrior in the West named Talic. That was who they wanted, that was who they chose. Talic stared long at the Seer. Then finally, he nodded slowly in agreement, turned to his wife and child, kissed them goodbye, and journeyed to Mt. Arreat.
