I'd suggest trying to defeat the Beholders and Gauths without either the Cloak of Reflection (or Cloak of Cheating as it's sometimes called) Baldurans Shield or the other reflective item that renders Beholders innefective. Why on Earth that item was put in the game is completely beyond me to be honest. If you're wearing it there's absolutely no point in having Beholders in the game, you may as well have an empty Beholder dungeon and just collect the loot. I promise you, although very difficult to defeat, Gauths and Beholders can be beaten without this/these items and the sense of real achievement far outweighs that of strolling through a dungeon full of completely innefectual enemies.
