Talk:Beholder/@comment-2003:EC:BD7:5429:E1AC:62A3:DEE0:704B-20190619124603

I just now discovered a tactic that works in BG 2 classic:

1) Make the entire party invisible (ideally with pots of invisibility because these last for a long time)

2) Let a spellcaster of your choice cast Cloud Kill on a group of Beholders FROM OUT OF THE BEHOLDERS' VISIBLE RANGE

3) The spellcaster swallows an invisible potion as fast as possible

Now the Beholders want to attack the spellcaster who casted Cloud Kill on them but they cannot see him. Therefore they have no target to move to, therefore they will simply stand in the Cloud Kill and die.
