They're called Beholders, or Eye-Tyrants.

Jon Irenicus · 08-07-2003, 08:22 PM

I think what u r talking about r "Beholders", those creatures with lots of eyes and r really big in size.... Hehe, those can be a pain to kill... Anywayz, here r some tactics... Fire Fireballs, Holy Smites... AOE spells OUT OF THEIR SIGHT RANGE then haste ur party, buff them and rush in~ If u have a 15+ Skald, its gonna be a real big help due to its Bard songs. Hehe, I just killed lotsa Mind layers easily because they cant hit my party due to hits bard songs~!!

Thread on beholder tactics

A wand of cloudkill fired off out of their range of vision does wonders

"a 15+ Skald"

Wha??!! That's quite a high Clvl, do you simply do that quest really late or something?

On a different note, is there a shield or some such thing that deflects magical attacks back to the sender? I'd think that would be useful against beholder kin...

There's a cloak that without TOB installed relects magical attacks back to the caster including beholder rays. With TOB installed it just absorbs the atacks. Also one of the bonus merchants sells a shield that reflects beholder rays.

Actually AFAIK Ribald from the Adventurer`s Mart is not a bonus merchant.

Zarr · 08-08-2003, 05:20 PM

The shield of Balduran is sold by Deidre the bonus merchant in the Adventurers Mart not Ribald IIRC.

Faceman · 08-08-2003, 05:45 PM

as the shield of Balduran and the Cloak of Mirroring are considered rather cheesy you could try some basic defense spells yourself. It's also a great help to jump them with backstabbing and invisibility potions.
