What I've been reading about curse as of late many people are having the same problem that I have with getting passed the beholder corps. Also I saw someone mention something about the caverns of Dagger Falls . My questions are 1) how do you get passed the corps, I did see teh post for enlarge and hast , but are there any oteher ways. Also how do I get to the caversn when I do a search all I get is the magic shop and the tower but no caverns. If there are any hints that anyone could give me I worul would be greatful Robert

I did not meet the Beholder Corps and was able to finsih the game! Still, if you are talking about the scene with only one beholder, one medusa and lots of minotaurs, I cast speed on the party and then proceeded to fireball all the minotaurs (My party was 1 MU, 1 CL, 1 FI/TH, I PA, and 2 FI/MU/CL). I killed medusa with a Death spell(Cleric) and when there was any space i went to the beholder and started hitting him. Two tries was enough not to lose anyone. Walter Duque

I think what the original poster meant the Beholder Corps in tower/dungeon of Dagger Falls. So far, no one on the net has given me enough inspiration to go back and fight them. There were simply too many of them, and no matter how many Haste and Invisibility I caste, they always wipe me out after 3-5 turns.

As I said, I did not need to clobber those guys to finish the game. One beholder was particularily hard when I fouught it so imagine a whole bunch of them. The only suggestion I have is to run away to a protected alcove and wait for them to turn around the corner. Gang up on one of them at a time. You might try using choking clouds to cover your flanks because there is always a cchance one of them will get stunned by walking in and you can clobber them there. One final point: a spellcaster can not use magic during a round if he is hit; once the beholder is hit he can not cast during the rest of the round.

A beholder doesn't cast anything, all of his spell attacks are natural to him. His eye stalks automatically produce the spell, as such, even if you hit him, the beholder will be able to use all of his attacks against you. I must agree however to the first statement. You don't need to kill the beholder corps to win the game. Head on to Yulash and take care of the Cult Of Moander's sigil, by entering the Pit of Moander. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Anderson | "I'd much rather live in perfection, U.C.

Use this right before you go in the room and you're set. Since you're invisible, even after attacking, you can beat the crap out of everyone in the room because they won't attack back. Just beware, don't try to retreat, or the computer will allow the monster to attack you. Hope this helps.
