Well, not much tips go there. It did take me sometime to get around Dragons Eye, so prepare for some hard work, espesially the Sorcerer at the last level of Dragons Eye, I'll give you some tips for her.

She will be in a room with a lot of Wights, Skeletons, and stuff like that, and I mean a lot. She is a powerful spell caster, and she does have the Heartstone Gem on her. So get your Theif, hide in shadows, and just go in the room, walk around see what she got there, then leave shadows and quicky run out of the room, try to get as many wights and undead out of the room to follow you as you can. The Sorcerer will not move, but if you just bum-rush in the room with the whole party she has powerful spells that will kill 3 of your members instantly. Then ones you kill a decent horde of the undead that followed you, go in the room. Make sure your Mage has some nice spells, preferably spider web so you cast it on her and she gets a little stuck, then attack her and only her disregard anyone who is attacking you make sure your Mage is casting some powerful spells on here.

There rest of Dragons Eye is fairly easy, just a lot of labyrinth type road ways, lots of monsters. Just get a strong party, make sure you do everything in Vale of Shadows, Kuldahar and Easthaven, get as much experience for your party as you can before enetering the Dragons Eye.

Good Luck.

Fire is very useful in there, so have your mage memorize Agannazar's Scorcher...I took down the Lizard King with that. Also memorize Web. If you haven't done so already, pickpocket both Orrick and Arundel back in Kuldahar; they both have Rings of Free Action so that two of your characters (Paladin and Fighter, perhaps?) can walk freely through the webs and whack the hapless lizardmen.

HINT: After 1st level, you will have a MUCH better fire spell in your possession.

The other levels; the best strategy is the "Hit and Run" approach; always take down spellcasters first, then go for the fighting type. Watch out for Blast skeletons; take them down with missiles from a distance, because when they die, they explode with a "Snilloc's Snowball Swarm" and it's NOT FUN. They also don't give any XP, so they're just nuisances.

Use either your Ranger or Thief to scout, and then web an area filled with monsters before charging in.

With Yxuonomei (sp.), the final level boss, have your Cleric cast Spirit Hammer and your mage cast "Strength" on the Cleric and go to town on her. She can't be hit but with +3 weapons or better, so much of what you are going to do to her will depend on that. However, I think I remember that Conlan's hammer also works on her. She *IS* beatable, with a proper strategy.

Best of luck!

(maybe Spoiler)

I find that searching ahead to find large crowds of people is dealt easily by using many cloud ranged spells, death fog, cloudkill, acid rain, and to knock them all off...blabla's something of wilting. I forgot the name. The Yxenomai or whatever is difficult if you do not have at least two heavy hitting characters. I think summoning other creatures to help deter the other undead from pestering you while you get at Yxenomei is a good idea.
