| Introduction to this FAQ: | IDXA0000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Welcome to my EOB3 walkthrough.
What you need to know when you wanna find things in this FAQ.
EOB3 starts in a gravayard, and has some buildings and a forest.
I'll divide my FAQ in a same manner the game is divided. And with the CTRL-F
codes it's easier to find (APPLE-F in MACOS)
Normally I give you my levels in FAQs in RPG based FAQs. This time I will not,
as you hardly need levels in this game. The advantages are too little. It is so
that magic users can do more spells when higher in level, but you can easily
live without those. When you really need a certain level to do something I'll
tell you so.
As goes in all my FAQs, I'll not tell you about treasures you'll find, unless
there's really something noteworthy, or something you need later in the game
(cut short key items).
I'll often tell you things about north, and south and so on. For this I refer
to the compass that is on your screen. Watch that compass well, because there
are certain spots in which you mysteriously change direction. I'll try to note
in in my FAQ every time that that happens.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Playing this game in modern times | IDXA0001 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
It's very unlikely you'll find this game in stores these days. I do know there
are undoubtly sites where you can download it from, but I doubt that's legal, so
I'll not link you to those sites. I got my copy back from the old days, and
always kept it. If you have any sites or adresses where this game can be
attained without violating copyrights, please mail me, and I'll name them in
this FAQ.
Playing this game may be impossible in modern OSes, so you'll need an emulator.
When writing this FAQ I ran the game in DosBox 0.63 (MacOS X version), so I
know it works there. I can confirm it works for the Windows version of DosBox
as well.
There are other emulators out there like Bochs. I never tried out if it works on
those. If you can confirm any other emulators that support this game, please
let me know.
If the game is slow in DosBOX then DosBOX is not the program to blame.
EOB3 itself is.
Research indicated that the engine EOB3 used (AESOP) was very slow to begin
with, but EOB3 was coded under time pressure, and they had no time to create
a faster engine due to budget pressure and time pressure.
This makes that the hardware requirements of EOB3 are insane. Even for the time
this game was written in.
Since this game has no quick gameplay (the EOB series never had) the game will
still be very playable. It can sometimes stutter a little and have long loading
times. Still EOB3 is enjoyable enough to make things up for it.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The Rules of AD&D Second Edition in a Nutshell | IDXB0000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Large books have been written about AD&D section edtion (AD&D = Advanced
Dungeons & Dragons). The rules are so large and complex that I cannot give
you all of them in this FAQ, or this FAQ would simply become too large.
On GameFAQs is a FAQ that goes more in the deep of AD&D rules, so if you want
any more details that I didn't give in this FAQ I recommend you that one.
The FAQ is written by DSimpson and is available on GameFAQs on the FAQ page of
all Eye of the Beholder games.
What is important to know.
Most of all the party. The only recommendations that I give is to have at least
one Cleric and a Mage in the party. A thief is needed since some doors can only
be opened if you got a thief in your party. If you combine such classes or have
it alone is up to you.
I mostly use: 1 Paladin, 1 Fighter/Thief, 1 Cleric and 1 mage.
Races and genders hardly matters, but know that not all races can have all
kinds of classes.
The classes is what really matter.
In EOB not all classes AD&D has are there.
The classes EOB has are:
= Fighter
= Ranger
= Paladin
= Mage
= Cleric
= Thief
Some of these classes are combined if you pick any race but human.
Before you decide what kind of character you want, let's take their most
important characteristics in order.
- Fighter
Fighters are basically your source of power. Basically all they can do is
hit the hell out of monsters. They have overall the most HP, but have no
magic abilities.
When it comes to equipment Fighters can wear almost everything.
Important stats for a fighter are: Strength, Constitution and Dexteritiy.
- Ranger
In EOB it most of all pointless to have a ranger. Basically they have most
abilities when it comes to nature. But EOB has very little nature.
- Paladin
Paladins are knights. They can fight like the fighter and can do (when they
are level 10 or higher) do a few Cleric spells.
Important stats for a paladin are: Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom and apparanlty
Charisma.
What is important to know is that only humans can become Paladins, and that
Paladins always need to have the Lawful Good alignment and may not be teamed
up with characters with the Evil alignment.
- Mage
There are many creatures in AD&D games that are vulnerable to magic (and some
only magic). This makes the need for a mage pretty important. Mages need a
spellbook to cast magic spells. They can copy spells by scribing scrolls
(which will disappear). Read later in this section for the use of magic.
For mages it's important to have a high intelligence.
When it comes to equipment Mages are weak, so they can only wear robes, and
use staffs or daggers. Anything else is simply too heavy for them.
- Cleric
For the help of God you need a Cleric. Clerics can heal your party and are
very important. Resting (which you need to do to recover) takes forever
without them, and when trained up well enough they can even revive the dead
(unless it's an elf). Clerics can acquire new spells by levelling up, but for
the usage of them the same basic rules apply as for mages. When it comes to
equipment they can wear anything a fighter can except for the weapons. God is
supposed to hate bloodshed, and therefore all weapons that can draw blood
(like swords and knives) are forbidden for a cleric (you can void that rule
by using a Fighter/Cleric combo). Overall Clerics use maces as weapon.
When it comes to stats the Wisdom stat is most important to a cleric
- Thief
When you are used to Japanese RPG games, then sorry, you cannot steal from
enemies in this game. Still a thief is required. Many bonusses can only be
found when you have a thief in your party (EOB3 is even impossible to beat
without a thief). Thiefs can fight but are weaker than fighters and cannot
wear metal armor (thiefs must be quick and metal armor is too heavy). The most
important reason to have a thief is since they can pick locks and therefore
open doors that would otherwise be closed to you. If you wanna find all the
game has to offer, then a thief cannot be missed.
After you picked your class you can select your alignment. Alignments are very
important when you play an AD&D session at a table with a Dungeon Master but
in Eye Of The Beholder they got no value at all. The only thing you oughta know
is that Paladins must always be Lawful Good, and that when you want a Paladin
you cannot allow characters with the Evil alignment in your party. For the rest
do what you like.
You may roll for stats (or modify them, which is officially cheating). I'll
hereby make an overview of those.
- Strength (STR)
Strength determines the rate of succes in a physical attack. It does not
influence the damage. That is determined by the weapon you use. The higher
your strength the more chance of success...
- Intelligence (INT)
Intelligence influences various things, but most of all your magic
capabilities. The higher your intelligence the more spells you're supposed
to be able to cast as a mage.
- Wisdom (WIS)
Wisdom is important for cleric/paladin spells. There are also other things
affected by it.
- Dexterity (DEX)
Your defensive capabilities. If most of all affects your basic Armor Class
(I'm told that DEX can help you in your accuracy with shooting weapons).
- Constitution (CON)
Affects your HP.
- Armor Class (AC)
Determines the chance that an enemy attack fails. The lower this value the
safer you are. Having a negative value here is even better. Normally this can
be a value between 10 and -10. If you manage to get -10 you're pratically
invicible.
(In 3rd edition this value must be higher, but this is 2nd edition remember!)
When it comes to spellcasting you may have seen that there are no MP in this
game. Reason is easy, AD&D does not deal with MP. Clerics and Paladins can
"pray for spells" and magicians can "memorize spells". You have serveral levels
of spells, and in each level you have a certain number of spells you may take.
You may take the same spell twice or more. How many spells you may pick is
dependant on your experience level. After picking spells you have to rest in
order to be able to use them, and each spell you picked can be used only once
(unless it's more times in your list) and then you got to rest to get it back.
You can change the spells you want at any time but remember you got to rest
before you can use them. Pick your spells well.
When you want to know how much spells you can use per level, use DSimpson's
FAQ for a more detailed list.
That covers the most important rules. When you think you don't know enough then
I refer to DSimpson's FAQ.

| NPC Characters | IDXB0001 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Like its two predecessors EOB3 has serveral NPC characters who may join the
party.
- Isharn Hammerfell
You'll meet Isharn when you take a rest in level 2 of the Mausoleum.

- Delmair Rallyhorn of Cormyr
Delmair can't be missed, you'll always meet him in the forest maze and this
encounter cannot be avoided. He is a weretiger. When hit by the enemy he'll
transform into a tiger. This makes his attacks very fast and very deadly, but
also his defensive capabilities weak in tiger form. Delmair will not transform
when hit by magic.

- Bugenius (Bug)
You can find Bug in level 2 of the Mage Guild Tower.
Most people think he sucks. Wouldn't say that, but can't say he's very good
either. He's handy as an extra spellcaster, but don't expect anything great
from him.

| Mage spells | IDXB0002 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Here's a list of mage spells. Spells I named "Default" should be in your list
by default. I could have made a few mistakes in that since I transferred my
Darkmoon-party to EOB3. When there's a "?" behind it I'm not sure if this is
a default spell. When the spell is marked "Darkmoon" you could have it when you
transfer your Darkmoon party, like I did.
(Spells your Darkmoon party does not have but that are in EOB3 as default
will be in your start list even if you never got the scrolls for that in your
darkmoon game)

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Well, at a tavern a stranger hires you to kill a Lich who is said to have
destroyed the city of Myth Drannor. I never understood why the heroes accept
this mission, but they do.
The stranger teleports you to a graveyard outside Myth Drannor.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Graveyard | IDXCA000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Find the Mausoleum
Enemies: Restless Spirit
The graveyard is very hard to write a FAQ on.
First thing to do is to find the Mausoleum.
After a few steps you may find some knights from Myth Drannor. It doesn't matter
what you say to them.
Then search the mausoleum. It's somewhere in the middle of this area (no
secret passage needed to open).
Make sure you have one Cleric with the "Prayer" spell or else you are doomed!
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Mausoleum | IDXCA000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Seek out the spirit of captain Fflar and get the Amulet of Friendship
from him.
IDXCA001: Level 1 - FOUR BONES DOWN WILL SHOW THE WAY
Enemies: Ghost warrior, Rotten Beast
The first level of the Mausoleum has been divided in four parts and I will go
down all parts one by one.
In all parts it's required to find a holy key and to use it to open a door
which leads to a switch (shaped like a bone) with a message about Fflar above it
and put that bone switch down (hench the hint FOUR BONES DOWN WILL SHOW THE WAY)
You may find many "Drawers". Those "Drawers" are graves and the ghost warriors
come out of those "Drawers". Make sure that whenever you find those to close
them. It saves you a lot of trouble and gives you the chance to clean out a
level.
You can take on the parts in random order, but this is the order in which
I took them.
PART 1 - North-West stairs
Before you start here, make sure you have a cleric with "Prayer".
= Move north, first way east and close the drawer
(kill everything that comes in your path)
= Go west, around the corner north the east and close the drawer.
(That makes less monsters to come out)
= Go west
= When you hit hte wall south
= When you hit the wall one step east and then south
= Don't go up the stairs but open the door west of it.
= Enter the room (You'll be locked in. Cast prayer to get out. If you are under
effect of a prayer spell this won't happen).
= Open the door and in the corridor go south
= The door will open and monsters will come out kill them all. (If you are lucky
this allows you to rest. If you are unlucky not. I hate that new rest engine
in EOB1 and EOB2 it was much better)
= Go back into the corridor
= Head all the way north
= First way west
= Open the door and jump into the pit behind it
= Go east and watch out not to be hit by fireballs
= When you hit the wall go north (2 steps)
= One step west and pull the switch down
= One step east
= Take the holy key and step in the teleporter
= Head north
= First way west

= Go upstairs and part 1 is now fully completed
PART 2 - North east stairs
= Go 1x north then go east
= Go through the door and continue east
= At the very end go north
HEADS UP
= This is a speed puzzle. When you touch the plate spikes will come your way.
One the south wall is a switch. Flip it till the spikes can hurt you.
= Open the door at the end and go north
= Follow the way east
= When you hit the wall open the secret passage south
= Flip the lever (you need thieves' tools to do this. This can only be done with
a thief in your party).
= Open the door north
= At the first side way west, place a wall of force in the north way (so you
cannot get surrounded by monsters), and go north and kill all monsters.
The rotten beast drops the holy key. Make sure to pick it up.
= Go through the west door
= South are monsters you may want to remove. North is the way to take
= Around the corner west
= Open the door with the holy key
= Open the secret passage behind the door and put the switch down
= Go east
= When you hit the wall, strafe once to the right and go south
= Strafe once to the right again and go south
= Go east till you hit the wall
= Go three steps south
= Go west till you hit the wall
= South till you hit the wall
= East till you hit the wall
= One south, one east two south
= West till you hit the wall
= One north and go west till you hit the wall
= One south and go west till you hit the wall
= Go south and upstairs and this part is done
PART 3 - South-east stairs
= Monsters will come to you, so don't be to quick to venture out.
Kill the monsters first and start moving when you see no more monsters coming
= Go east (way south has a mage scroll)
THE SCEPTRE, LEARNED, PHYSIC, MUST ALL FOLLOW THIS AND COME TO DUST
This puzzle is horrible
= Pull the swithc on the south wall (and kill the monsters that come)
= Two steps north
= Pull the west switch, two steps north
= Pull the east switch
= Pull the north switch
= Pull the east switch
= Go west (ingore the switch)
= Two steps south and pull the west switch
= Pull the east switch
= Two steps north
= Pull the west switch
= Pull the north switch
= Pull the west switch
= The passage north opens
Go north and follow the corridor
= When going south, keep going south till you hit the wall
= Zigzag south
= Open the door
= Go south
= Go east and you'll immediatly encounter monsters. Kill them all
(they come from behind)
= Go east till you hit the wall

= Go two steps south
= Go east till you fall into the invisible pit
= Step in the teleporter and you are back at the entrance
PART 4 - South-west stairs
= Go west
= Go through the door
= Turn south
= First way west
= An alcove north has a drawer close it
= Now go east
= At the cross-point go south
= Follow the corridor
NOT ALL NEED WEIGHT
You need to weight certain plates. Weight the wrong ones and a fireball will
come your way. When you make it across with the wrong plates pressed you'll
be teleported back.
= Put an item on plate 2, 4 and 6
= Now cross and kill the monsters that await you
= Turn north
= Open the secret passage east to get the holy key. Leave the sword be. It's
cursed.

ALL PARTS COMPLETED
The east wall has now disappeared. Go through the passage that is revealed to
find two stairways.
Take the stairway on the right (South)
IDXCB002: Level 2 - The realm of shadows
NPC: Isharn
Enemies: Zombie, Shadow
Let's first talk about the enemies.
The zombies can lower your experience by one level with each attac they do.
Try to prevent that as it's truely annoying. The way I wrote this FAQ will
lead you also to the rod of restoration which restores the lost levels but
preventing is better than curing.
Second in this level you can recruit Isharn. He can pop up everywhere in this
level. When you make a succesfull rest (so you need to rest to recover HP or
spells and the rest may not be rejected because of monsters) you will meet
Isharn when you wake up. He'll pledge his loyalty to you. When you accept that
pledge he'll join the party. It's up to you to accept or not.
Level 2 also contains multiple parts, but these parts are not to be played in
random order.
As I said part 1 starts when you took the west stairs down into this level
PART ONE
= Go south
= Ignore the west door just keep going south
= At the end west
FOR EACH PARTH THAT MAY BE TAKEN ANOTHER SURELY SHALL BE GIVEN (Middle part)
= You come into a great all
= Step on the pressure plate and in the middle of the west wall a passage
appears
= Go west into that passage
= Follow the corridor until you get by a door
= Open the west door and kill the monsters
= Open the secret passage to the west
= Pick up the Rod Fragment
= Leave this secret room and go through the north door
= Go back through the corridor till you reach the big all with the pressure
plate again.
FOR EACH PARTH THAT MAY BE TAKEN ANOTHER SURELY SHALL BE GIVEN (Right part)
= Stand in the alcove north and stand on the pressure plate again (don't come
close to the sign, and try it multiple times when it fails, but a passage
on the right in the west wall should appear and the middle should disappear)
= Go into that passage and go north
= At the end go west
= Open the west door
= Kill the monsters inside and pick up the Rod Fragment
= Leave this room
= Go east till you hit the wall
= Go south till you hit the wall
= Go east into the main hall again
FOR EACH PARTH THAT MAY BE TAKEN ANOTHER SURELY SHALL BE GIVEN (Left part)
= Go to the south alcove then stand on the pressure plate. If the middle
passage opens do it again. If the left passage opens, we can continue
= Go into that passage
= Around the corner south
= Turn west and open the door
= Keep going west and pick up the Rod Fragment (You should have 3 of them by
now)
= Go east
= First way north around the corner east
= Leave the hall east follow the corridor and go upstairs
You are now back in the entrance level. Take the other stairs down for the
next part
PART TWO
= Go north
= Go down the stairs north
= Around the corner west (Ignore the south door. That's a trap)
= At the very end go south
= First way west
= Around the corner north and open the secret passage in front of you to receive
the Rod Orb
= Continue your way west
= At the end go south up the stairs
= Go south
= At the very end west
= Open the last door at the south side
= Go in and kill all the monsters
= Go upstairs for the next part
PART THREE
There's mud or sludge or whatever on the floor here. It slows down your
movement, so if the computer takes awhile to allow you forward, it's not a bug
or a crash or the slowness of this engine. It's because of that shit on the
floor, so it is intentional
This is also the part in which you can meet Fflar's spirit. Make sure you got
his nameplate first, elseway he'll always attack. Not that he's hard to beat,
but it'll make you unable to complete the Mausoleum. (Now you can win the game
on an alternative way).
= Go south until you hit the wall
= Strafe 1 west (right) and go one south (forward)
= One step west and another south
= Be faced south and strafe to the right (west) until you see a door
= Open the door and go forward into the corridor behind it
= Open the east door
= Strafe one step east
= Go to the switch and press it (you'll fall into a pit)
= Pick up the key and step into the teleporter
= Open the south door with the holy key and enter
= The room looks empty, but there's a secret passage to the west. Open it
= In there you'll find a drawer with a loose nameplate. It's Fflar's plate.
Take it with you and make sure the drawer is closed when you leave this room
= Go back into the mud, sludge, whatever
= Strafe once to the right (east) and move north till you hit the wall
= Go east until you are out of the mud, sludge, whatever
= Go east and follow the corridor until you see a pit
THE SPIRIT MOVES IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS
= Face east
= Three steps forward, one backwards
= Open the door and enter the room to meet Captain Fflar
NOW MAKE SURE YOU GOT THAT DAMN NAMEPLATE OR THIS COMBINATION IS NOT VALID!
Say the next things to him
= "Talk"
= "What guards? We don't see anyone else here!"
When you got the name plate Fflar will disappear leaving the Medaillion of
Friendship. You'll also gain a little Experience Points.
If you had to fight Flar for any reason you've basically failed this mission,
and not you cannot try it again (unless you load a savegame), but don't panic
there's an alternative way to get this game finished.
Basically the Mausoleum has now been completed. But you can still get the
Rod Of Restoration. That rod is handy if you lost levels in the Mausoleum.
= Open the secret passage to the north
= North till you hit the wall
= Go east till you hit the wall
= Zigzag a little and go north
= First way west
= Keep going west until you come past a club (you don't need that thing though)
= Go north there until one spot before the wall
= Go west
= Follow the corridor until you see a device which looks like the EOB2 and EOB1
portals.
= Kill the monsters around it first then put all the Rod Fragments and the Rod
Orb into it
= Then turn around and you see a sign. Read it and turn around and you'll find
the Rod Of Restoration. Let all party members who lost levels because of
zombies use it to restore the levels to their former values.
= Go back into the corridor east. Follow the corridor
= When you see a secret passage ignore it, just go south from there
= Second way east
= When you hit the wall one step north, one east and continue north
= When you hit the wall east
= Go upstairs at the end
= Turn south and go upstairs to get back in level 1
= Go west to get out of the Mausoleum
You should now have the Medallion of Friendship.
If you could for any reason not obtain it, don't worry there's an alternative
item you can use finish the game.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Graveyard II | IDXCA100 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Find the way to the forest
Enemies: Restless Spirit
This is pain, and will require some searching. Since the graveyard is more
a wide area it's not possible to cover a route in my FAQ. But I can say you need
an axe. If you have for any reason no axe, you can try to recruit Isharn in
the Mausoleum, since he enters the game with an axe. You can also search the
graveyard. There are axes lying around at some places.
Once you have an axe try to find some trees you can cut down. Doing so will
reveal new areas. Sooner or later you are bound to find the entrance to the
forest.
The entrance is to the eastside of this graveyard
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Forest Maze | IDXCC000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Find your way through this maze and reach Myth Drannor
NPC: Delmair
Enemies: Minotaur, strange invisible monster
First of all after a few steps the copy protection will pop up.
I may not and will not give you any words that have to be entered here.
Check your manual find find those words.
At the copy-protection there are a few things to take in order.
If you got the Medallion from the Mausoleum then skip the part in the box
below. If you failed to that the Medallion of Friendship then take on the
part in the box.
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| = Go north and crawl through the middle way |
| = Follow the way and when you see two craw-ways take the middle one |
| = Now search around to find the Everburning torch |
| = Search your way back until you are at the entrance part again |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Now you got either the Torch or the Medallion. You can use them both to remove
trees to reveal secret passages. Axes won't work here. Of course this doesn't
work with all trees.
When I say remove trees then I mean you got to use the torch or the medallion
to do this.
Now good luck. I hope I got the shortest way, but this is a hard maze so be
easy on me.
= Go east
= Remove the trees at the end
= Follow the way.
= When you find craw-holes pick the middle one
= Follow the way until you meet Delmair. He wants to join your party. He's
a weretiger and that can be handy, but it's your choice. (In the NPC section
I've been more details about Delmair's Wegetiger ability).
= Remove the trees and you may be attacked by a small bunch of minotaurs.
= Go south and follow the path until it ends in a clearing
= The north trees (just outside the clearing) can be removed to reveal a new
path. Go in there. (And cast Detect invisibility or else you will not
see the monster that is there.)
= Remove the east trees when you hit the "wall" to get into a new road
= Remove the north then the east to get there
= Follow the road and kill the monster you encounter
= Keep following the road
= To the east are trees to remove. Do so!
= Keep going east
= Follow the road
= At the crosspoint go south
= At the end east
= At the crawholes pick the middle one
= And again the middle one (closed one counted as well)
= Head south
= At the end east
= Follow the road
= At the crosspoint straight on (east)
= Around the corner south
= Take the road east
= At the end north
= Around the corner east
= Claim of the treasures what you want
= Continue following the way
= At the T-Crossing south
= Now you get at the start of the crawl-hole maze.
Before you start. There are a lot of invisible monsters here, so casting
Detect Invisibility is a good idea. Second I hope I write this down correct
as this maze is a pretty frustrating one.
= When facing west from the path you came from strafe once left and move
forward
= Pick the middle hole
= Again the middle hole
= Turn left
= Pick the middle hole
= Keep going though the middle hole until a monster attacks you from aside
= Turn to that moster (right of your) and kill it.
There are more of those. Kill them all and go west
= Check out the cool stuff here. Especially the ring of wizardry that allows
extra level 5 spells. Also the gloves, equip them on your fighter for more
strength
= Now turn north
= From the western set off holes, pick the middle one (on the north)
= Turn west
= Pick the right hole (the only open one)
= One step forward and go east
= Pick the middle hole
= Again
= Pick the left one
= Turn south
= Middle hole
= Middle hole
= Kill the monster
= Move forward
= Middle hole
= Turn west
= Middle hole
= Right hole
= Again
= Turn north
= Middle hole
And there I misclicked and couldn't continue the route since I cannot recover
what the game did. Anyway when you see a large area empty with no treasure and
no monsters you've come to the right place. Move forward and you'll meet the
spirit of an angry man you scolds you for cutting down trees
You can just say that you only wish to reach the city. He does not wanna help
you as he thinks you are not strong enough to do so. But you may read one of
his books. Pick the right book and you'll gain a level, choose the wrong book
and you'll lose a level.
One of your characters have to do this, and which book is right depends on the
class that specific character has.
All I tried was the mage who has to read "The Book of Arcane Deeds"
If you know which books the other classes must read mail me and I'll add it
to this FAQ.
= Move south until you hit the trees
= Then move east
= Around the corner north
= First way east to enter Myth Drannor
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Myth Drannor | IDXCD000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Seek out the Mage Guild Tower
NPC: Father Jon, Rex
Enemies: Area 1: Chimera, Hag
Area 2: Troll, Wyvern
Myth Drannor is divided in two areas. You start in area 1, and can go to
area 2. For the good of this FAQ I take the two areas together.
What you must know about the enemies is that Chimeras can throw fireballs, so
you always have to be aware of that. The Wyverns are poisonous, and that
covers the enemies I suppose.
= Go north
= Check out the door west since two chimeras may come out of it.
= Don't enter the room though, just continue the way north
= At the very end go south
= First way east
= Second way north
= When you hit the wall go east
= First way north
= When you hit the wall go east
= You'll reach the guild tower.
Okay... The main quest ends here. before you enter the tower I'll get into this
optional stuff in order to recruit Rex and Father Jon. Particulary Father Jon
can be good to recruit.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| RECRUITING REX: |
| = From the mage tower step back until you can go south. Go south from |
| there |
| = You'll find some equipment. Leave it be, it's all cursed. Also kill |
| the hags and the chimeras who roam the place you get into |
| Do take the helmet of underwater breathing. Leave the rest be |
| = Keep going south |
| = When you hit the wall one strafe one step to the right (west) and |
| open the door to continue south |
| = Cross the room and open the south door to continue |
| = When there's a wall left of you (east) go west |
| = Go through the door and kill the Chimeras |
| = Among the treasure take the blessed holy symbol. It allows clerics |
| More spells |
| = Open the door and go south |
| = Stop at the passage and turn south there |
| = When there's a way west, go west |
| = Open the door to meet Rex |
| (wanna find back the guild follow the same route backwards) |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| RECRUITING FATHER JON: |
| From the guild same route till the step wall left of you. Go there |
| straight on, pass the wall to the west and head east to go to area 2 |
| From the area where you met Rex go all the way east until you reach |
| area 2 |
| = In area 2 go immediatly north |
| = Open the door kill the wyverns and claim the mage scrolls here |
| = Leave the room and head east immediatly until you meet Father Jon |
| = Now go back to area 1 |
| (missed Rex? Want him? All the way west) |
| = When you enter area 1 go all the way north |
| = When you hit the wall, 1 step west and continue north |
| = When you hit the wall, go east until you reach the Mage's Guild |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Mage's Guild | IDXCE000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Seek out a guy named Acwellan
IDXCE001: Level 1 - Entrance level
Enemies: Clay Giant, Ice Wraith
Level 1 is not a long level, but before you advance to level 2, you must make
sure to find the Ring Of Trobiant.
= Step in the middle teleporter
= Move east and go upstairs
= Go west and around the corner north
= At the next corner turn your face to the west
= Go all the way west and turn south at the very and
= Go south and take the stairs on the west up
= Go south and follow the corridor until you find a stairway (don't go
up the stairs though)
= Go north here (wall = illusion)
= Head north until there's an alcove with two switches west of you
(You may need to pass another illusion)
= Press both buttons and the east wall will open (revealing some monsters as
well. Kill those)
= Check out the room here and find the Ring Of Trobiant in on of the Niches
= Go back to the switches and go though the south illusion door
= Go forward until you reach the stairs (behind another illusion. And don't go
upstairs)

stairs
= Go north

= At the end east
= Go downstairs
= Move forward and step in the teleporter to be back at the entrance
= Go through the south teleporter
= Leave the room you get into through the east door
= In the corridor go south
= To the east is an illusion wall. Pass through it.
Now you need to take this on in a specific order. Read the signs at the
teleporter, step into it if it's the right one, then step in the room you get
into in the teleporter with the right picture.
(VERY IMPORTANT! IN THIS PLACE YOU CAN FIND THE MAGE SCROLL FOR WATER BREATHING.
WITHOUT THAT SPELL YOU CANNOT SURVIVE ONE OF THE LEVELS IN THE MAGE TOWER!)
1 = Sign: TO QUICKEN THE REALM, THE RAINS OF SPRING
= Tapestry: A seawave
2 = Sign: TO CLEANSE THE REALM, THE HEATH OF SUMMER
= Tapestry: Red tapestry with a sun on it
3 = Sign: TO INSPIRE THE REALM, THE BREATH OF AUTUMN
= Tapestry: A whirlwind
4 = Sign: TO PERSERVE THE REALM, THE ICE OF WINTER
= Tapestry: Icy mountains
When you step in the last teleporter you'll get to level 2.
VERY IMPORTANT!
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MAGE HAS LEARNED "WATER BREATHING" WITH THE SCROLL IN THE
LAST TELEPORTER PUZZLE SINCE YOU WON'T SURVIVE A LEVEL LATER IN THIS TOWER
WITHOUT IT, AND MAKE SURE YOU GOT THE RING OF TROBIANT
IDXCE002: Level 2 - The Maze
NPC: Bug
Enemies: Ghost Armor, Scorpion
The scorpions are interesting. They won't move and can attack at a distance.
However when you carry the Ring Of Trobiant they will move but won't attack.
Seek out all scorpions and kill them before going to the north niche when you
have to sacrifice that ring into the niche in ordoer to proceed north
In the process you will meet Bug (It's impossible to miss him). He can be handy
as an extra spellcaster, but he ain't great, So decide yourself if you wanna
recruit him.
= Once you sacrificed the Ring of Trobriand go north

a raster.
= At the start pick up the grappling hook. You'll need it very soon.
THE HAND OF THE LEARNED HOLDS THE KEY
= In the niches here are gems. Put them both in the hands of a mage and you
can get out of here. If you don't have a mage, I'm afraid the journey ends
here. With the gems in the hands of your mage you can pass, elseway you'll
teleported back all the time, and then you are forever trapped.
(Keep the gems in case you get here by accident).

IDXCE004: Level 4 - The underwater maze
Enemies: Water Elemental, ???
Every move you makes hurts you unless you are either wearing a helmet of
underwater breathing or under the effect of the Water Breathing spells.
You also cannot rest unless you are under the effect of the Water Breathing
spell. (Make sure you have two water breathings at your disposal as there
are spots that terminates your spell).
Perhaps I do not need to note it, but fire spells do not work in this area.
Pretty obvious because of all the water.
If you missed the helm of underwaterbreathing it is recommended to get it. South
of the entrance of the guild tower in the city.
= West, first way south
= First way east and use the switch and go back here (if you don't have the
power gloves you need the thieves tools to do so)

VERY IMPORTANT
Okay, if you continue all spells will be dispelled (including water breathing)
And you cannot cast any spells until you're though this zone. So be 100% sure
that all party members are fully rested until you enter.
Now I recommend the next things. I hope that you don't have elves in your party
because unless your cleric is high enough in level to cast "Resurrection" it's
likely you lose them.
Have your cleric to learn "Raise Dead" and "Resurrection" as much as possible
and have him/her to wear a helmet of underwater breathing.
Take the shortest possible way (which I'll display here), don't take any detours
because every move you make will hurt you.
Don't run away from monsters. You can fight them without losing HP. It's only
the walking that does the damage. Not the attacking.
Don't cast water breathing. The spell won't be valid until you're out of this
place. This is why I recommended TWO water breathing spells.
If you see monsters, don't chase after them. Let them come to you.
Selecting party members and using ALL ATTACK can be helpful to kill them
quickly
If any of the things told above cannot be done, then cheating is your only
alternative.
* You serious, Trick?
- Yes, I am!
* Never though to hear *you* say that, Trick.
- Neither did I!
Anyway, if the upper requirements are met, that you can get through without
cheating, but it *can* and *will* cost you.
Let's go.... (Good luck)
+-----
| NULL-MAGIC ZONE
+-----
| = If you see monsters, let them come to you and kill them. Don't move as
| long as you see them

| = Magic spells again
+-----
Now you're clear. Revive/Resurrect all party members.
THE MAGE WITH WATER BREATHING SHOULD BE THE FIRST TO BE REVIVED SO THAT YOU CAN
CAST WATER BREATHING!!!
When all party members are revived, take a rest to recover, and be glad you
don't have to be in the NULL-MAGIC ZONE again (If you get there you simply
took the wrong road
= Go south until you hit the wall
= East until you hit the wall
= South until you hit the wall
= East and hit the switch at the south wall
= East till you hit the wall
= North till you hit the wall

you didn't use the switch a little while back. Don't worry, you DON'T have to
go trough the NULL-MAGIC ZONE
= Go one step west
= Two steps south

IDXCE005: Level 5 - Acwellan's Lair

Now go around this room and find all the 8 rings of protection. Don't equipment
but take them to the weighting plates. Place there all +2 and -2 values in the
left scale and the others in the right. You'll be teleported into Acwellan's
room.
No matter what you say to Acwellan, you'll always have to fight him.
_______
| Boss
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Acwellan |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Difficulty: Very very easy |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Acwellan has many fake images of himself. Those are all killed easily |
| The real Acwellan is all that matters, once he's down this fight has been |
| won. You never can tell which one is real but the damage he and all his |
| images do is pathetic. He can sometimes do a Magic Missile though. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
After this fight you'll find out what is truely going on here.
(You could already tell from the beginning that you were being used).
Now you have to correct your error in the Temple of Lathander.
Acwellan will use the last of his powers to teleport you there.
You are back in Myth Drannor close to the Temple Of Lathander.
No sense writing a seperate section on that.
Move forward into the path and turn the first way east and you'll get at the
temple.
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The Temple Of Lathander | IDXCF000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Objective: Restore the temple to find the Dark God and kill him
IDXCF001: Level 1 - Blob's Base
NPC: Tabitha
Monsters: Shadow, Blob
WARNING!
The blobs eat your weapons at every attack you do. So I recommend to only use
magic. The weapons which are lost can NOT be recovered.
I did try Mordenkainen's Sword to cover this up, but no effect.
If you are extremely high in level then Bigby's Clenched first is your solution.
Otherwise, try you best spells and hope for the best.
ANOTHER WARNING!
Before taking stairs down save your game. There's a curse that could make you
trapped forever if you take the wrong stairs down. You'll be in a large empty
room forever hounted by spooky laughter. If that happens, consider the game as
over and reload a savegame.
= Go north until you arrive in a room with a (vandalized) fountain.
= Go west there
= Go to the room south
= Put a sword in the west niche

| Boss
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The Dark God |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Difficulty: Rather easy |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| First the Dark God sends some mosters after you. Slay them all. The Dark |
| god himself will not move unless he's hit by something or when you come |
| closer. If you beat the monsters you can even rest if the Dark God hasn't |
| yet moved. |
| |
| The Dark God has a lot of spells he'll cast onto you. Try to avoid them |
| all. Once he's out of spells you can kill him easily without getting hurt |
| too much. |
| |
| Cheesy method: |
| If you have a few scrolls "Time Stop" left or when your mage is level 19+ |
| cast "Time Stop" and the Dark God won't move any more for awhile. This |
| makes this fight even more easy. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
When you killed the Dark God the game is over.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE COMPLETED EYE OF THE BEHOLDER III

| Questions and answers | IDXD0000 |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
These are a few questions not asked to me yet, but which could be asked, so
I answer them at forehand:
Q: Delmair was struck by the enemy, but he didn't transform into a tiger. Why?
A: He must be struck by magic. Delmair only transforms at PHYSICAL attacks
Q: HELP! I am struck against an invisible wall.
A: Oficially there's no such thing as an invisible wall. But there's a bug in
EOB3 that can cause this. When you cast wall of force an invisible wall will
be formed on the moment the spell expires. You can dissolve it by casting a
new wall of force by on the same spot. This doesn't always work, but it's
the best bet you have.
Therefore only cast wall of force when you know what you're doing!
Q: I can't pick locks any more?
A: No you can't. You can only open locks with keys now. The lockpicks are
replaced by "Thief's tools" and can be used to fix levers which are struck.
Q: Can I beat the game without a cleric?
A: No! Not because you need them for healing, but there are certain areas you
cannot get past without using a cleric spell
Q: Why can't I cast the level 9 spells for a mage
A: Because you need to be at least level 19 for that, and without cheating it
takes forever to reach that level. One of the great flaws in this game.
Q: Do I need "Stone to Flesh"
A: No. In EOB2 there are monsters who can petrify you. In EOB3 there aren't any.
Paralysed makes the picture grey which works confusing, but paralysis is
no petrification and can thus be cured with "Remove Paralysis"
Q: Can I beat the game without a mage?
A: Only if you cheat. You need the water breathing spell from the mage to get
past the mage's guild tower. Otherwise you'll be dead.
Q: I've heard the mausoleum is optional. Is that true?
A: Yes and no.... Officially no... But practically yes.
The Amulet of friendship can be replaced by an everburning torch if you
missed the mausoleum. If you wanna follow the official flow of the story (on
which this FAQ is written) you should do the Mausoleum.
Q: I quit playing EOB2 because the boss was to insanely hard. Is the boss here
so freakin' hard as well?
A: The boss here is a sissy compared to Dran. So don't worry about that.
Q: Why was this game written in the time-eating AESOP?
A: I tried to find the answer to that one as well. AESOP was written as a game
engine for quick game development. SSI must have chosen it, since it
contains features plain DOS could never offer and since they wanted to
improve the engine a bit more was needed. As far as I know that turned out
to be a mistake since the creator of AESOP already acknoledged the lack of
speed of AESOP, but time and money pressure did not allow the release of
EOB3 to be delayed, so creating a new faster engine would not be possible
within this time limit and they had to take the game as it was.
That is the story as I understand it, I could be wrong though.
Q: Is it possible to have a party with only EOB1 NPC characters?
A: Yes.... Start up a game in EOB1 make sure you got at least 4 NPC transfer
those to EOB2 and then you can transfer them to EOB3.
Don't think it's useful though, but it is possible.
Q: Would Insal still leave if I transferred him from EOB2 to EOB3?
A: I think not, but actually I've never tried this.
It's interesting though... :)
Q: Is Tabitha still recruitable when you have evil characters in your party
since Paladins are not allowed to be in the same team as evil ones?
A: Yes, you could still make her join. I've tried it and confirmed it.
I know it's against AD&D rules, but she still can join.
I suppose the game makers forgot about that alignment thingy when they
created her.
Q: Darkmoon gives a final file to transfer to EOB3. Does EOB3 do that as well?
A: No. EOB4 was never created, and I think SSI never intended to create EOB4
from the very start. So no final file if EOB3 is completed. Since EOB3
appeared in times that more advanced 3D engines were coming and the
improved engine for Lands Of Lore, I think EOB4 wouldn't sell anyway.
But what do I know?
Q: Why can't I find the temple of Lathander?
A: Two possible reasons
A. You didn't finish the Mage Guild Tower or
B. You didn't search well enough.
Q: Can you give me the words for the copy-protection?
A: NO WAY!!!! Sorry, I'm not allowed too give those words.
It's not like, I dislike breaking rules, but FAQs on the internet may not
support copyright violation, for very obvious reasons. I have to take an
official position, and can therefore not share those words. Don't mail me
to ask, because your mail will be ignored.
Q: There are underwater parts in which magic is blocked. How can I get out of
there alive?
A: Making sure you make it to the exit before any party members are dead.
It's all you can do. I'd like to hang the guy who came up with that idea
as much as you do (not litterally of course, but you get the picture).
Q: I can't rest because the game says there are monsters. But I see none!
A: A flaw of EOB3 when compared to EOB1 and EOB2. In EOB1 and EOB2 the monsters
moved while you were resting and interupted when they were in a spot
conntected to yours. In EOB3 the monsters do NOT move while resting, but
you cannot rest when the monsters are within a certain radius. If they can
possibly come to you is not taken into account. Only that radius.
Q: Can you design maps for this game?
A: HEAVENS NO!!!! Ask somebody else to do that, but I ain't patient enough for
that! Sorry!

If you want to inquire about me as a person, or when you have anything to
say about the FAQ itself, like asking permission to host, got suggestions
for this FAQ, something like that please mail it to
tric1975@hotmail.com
AND PUT [Tric-FAQ] IN THE SUBJECT OR ELSE MY SPAMFILTER MAY
REJECT YOU!
If you see that I missed things in this FAQ, then in stead of calling me
names, you may tip me about that part, or if you want even come up with
a complete workout of that part, that I will copy into this FAQ (I may alter
your lay-out to make it fit with the rest) and even credit you for your
trouble. This also goes for alternate boss techniques.
AND NEVER FORGET TO TELL ME WHICH FAQ OF MINE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!
I get a lot of mails in which I must guess which FAQ it is we're talking
about, and since I'm very busy as a contributor for GameFAQs, and ocasionally
other sites, I have quite a lot of FAQs here. So it will help me a lot when
I know which FAQ/Game it is you're talking about. :)
And one last thing. Below are remarks I got a lot about my FAQs. Some are
funny, and some are just plainly too stupid for words. I don't want to be
an arrogant bastard or anything, but some of them tire me a lot.
So here are those mails with my standard replies:
M: Fix your English
A: Some people say they hardly hear the diffrence between me and an
English speaking fellow. Others say it sucks. Well, I honestly don't
care in which category you are. English is NOT my first language. If
I spoke my own language you probably couldn't read my FAQs at all.
M: You suck in levelling up
A: I know. I'm a real RPG player. I don't waste my time hours of levelling
up. In my vision that's a sort of cheating. If I wanted to do that,
I'd buy a gameshark. That works a lot faster.
No offense to those who do believe in that.
M: HEY IDIOT! FIX YOUR FAQ!
A: Anyone who sends mail like this won't receive a reply. In fact they
will be banned from ever mailing me again. I can understand you do not
agree with my technique. There are as many as there are people. I can
also agree you detected that I made a mistake. Well, I'm human you know.
Making mistakes is part of my nature, as much as it's yours. If you
detect errors in my FAQ you can tell me about it in a civil way, and
I'll fix it if I agree with you.
M: I took on the bosses you brant HARD on much lower levels with no problem
at all.
A: Good for you.
M: Are you a man? A woman? How old are you? Where do you live?
A: I really got that kind of mails a lot. I don't mind that you know.
I was quite amused by such mails actually.
Well, my name is Jeroen Broks. I'm not going to give my private adres
in this FAQ or anywhere else on the internet, but you may know that
I live in the Netherlands, I am a man, and I was born in 1975. So on
the moment I started on this version of this FAQ I was 31 years old.
M: Fsdasdadasf afsdfasd afdfsaf
A: Whatever you say I don't understand it. If you mail me, please only do
so in either English or Dutch or if you really need in German.
(Be perpared that if you speak German to me, you might get an answer in
English, tough).
I don't speak any other language.
M: May I translate your FAQ into another language?
A: If you ask my permission, mostly no problem
M: Why is Neoseeker banned from hosting your FAQs?
A: I have my reasons which I'm not going to tell.
That's because I want to handle this type of thing as a profesional should
I only noted it to make sure this document would not end up there
unoticed.
M: You know NOTHING about this game or RPG in general?
A: That I know nothing about RPG in general is something you can't say.
I spend 80% of my free time in RPG (which is quite a lot, trust me),
and I even develop them myself for a hobby. And about this game,
trust me when I say that all games I wrote a FAQ about have been played
multiple times from start to finish, and after I completed the FAQ
the game is played over and over again and again, so I can upgrade
the FAQ if I find something new, to make sure my FAQs offer the best
you can get. All games I wrote FAQs about are games I'm very devoted
to. No exceptions. If I am not sure I know the game, I won't write a
FAQ on it.
M: Your FAQs are the greatest!
A: Thanks I'm honored that you speak of my work this way.
M: Thank you for writing this great FAQ!
A: You're welcome ;)
M: Do you have any GameShark/GameGenie codes for game X?
A: No. If you want cheats, you're asking the wrong person!
And so far this FAQ. I hope you have good use for it!
