If I remember rightly, you have to do the Underark to get the cloak of mirroring. Try going invisible before you go down. Sometimes works (sometimes, sadly doesn't.) Alternatively, mass haste and as soon as you arrive, run away... not brave I know, but at least allows you to get off some summon monsters and area spells. Your big problem ai the death spell beholders cast (which no amount of magic shielding will save you against at the lower levels, as far as I can see.)Your best bet is haste, (summon creatures if you get the chance), and ranged weapons + miscast/insect attack. The big problem with beholders is getting your party too close to their deathspell attacks, this is what arrowfodder are for.... Don't underestimate the power of running away and turning raound and hitting that mother with loads of ranged attack when it follows, the big thing I found was hitting it before it had a chance to cast its rather nasty armoury of spells, their not that tough really.
