** Possibly Confirmed. At the end of 'Tomb of Annihilation'', there is no phylactery to find because he keeps it on a different plane. It even says if you win that he'll likely wait elsewhere until old age kills your characters.

* At the end of ''Return'' Acererak was completly destroyed. All that remained of him was a Vestige, a figment of a dead soul that a specialiced kind of character, a binder, could summon to gain PowersViaPossesion. And the vestiges could influence the binder in lesser ways. It was hinted that Acererak used those many binders to create a way back for himself, and it took him thousands of years to do so!

It's said in the 4E adventure that Acererak wasn't seen for a thousand years after ''Return''. In the morally right but not GoldenEnding of ''Return'', freeing the souls should only limit the lich for a few centuries. The {{Canon}} ending was that the lich was destroyed but he still had an out. It took longer to regenerate, and it went to other dimensions to do so; but it was still StayingAlive.

* Unlike [[Franchise/HarryPotter Voldemort]], Acererak always keeps his phylactery's safe; and if brought down to one left; just leaves a dimension to recover instead of gambling it all for revenge.
