Eye of the Beholder 2
       Locations and What Can be Found There - Part 3

@~Continued from last issue

Catacombs Level 3. (Essential you keep looking for Spider and
Darkmoon Keys)

After entering this level, you cannot avoid setting off a trip
stone which prevents you from going back this way. What is more,
you cannot rest on this level, so make sure your party is fully
rested with plenty of available spells.

In the Northwest area, after disposing of a Gelatinous Cube, you
will find a Healing Potion, a Spider Key and a Skull. Just below
this section is a Staff +1 and a Skull, whilst just beyond these
is a Long Sword (cursed, so don't get it), a Shield +1 and Bracers
of Protection +5, but you will have to fight 5 Margoyles.

Travelling down the centre, branch westwards to get a Robe +1, a
"Haste" Scroll and an Amulet. There is also a Portal which can be
activated by a Stone Gem or a Stone Dagger. If used, the Gem will
take you back to the Temple, Level 2. A good way to recuperate. In
this area you can also find a Spider Key and 3 Iron Rations.

To get through the Pressure Plate Maze in the South, place an item
on the first outside plates to your left and right, leaving the
middle plate alone. Move forward over the centre row and place an
item on the left hand plate of the final row. Now step onto the
middle plate of the centre row - this will open a door but to keep
it open, drop an item on this plate before moving off it.

After going through the above maze, head West. Fight Margoyles
then go West through an illusionary wall. More Margoyles then go
North to find another illusionary wall to get a veritable treasure
horde (or should that be "hoard"?).  Anyway, you should find a
Fire Sphere, 2 Healing Potions, 2 Arrows +1, another Fire Sphere,
a Stone Gem Portal Key, a Darkmoon Key and a Spider Key. Look for
a button on the West Wall which will open up another room
containing a Cloak of Protection +3, a Long Bow and 8 Arrows +2.

The North/South corridor on the far Eastern side is most
important, but be sure that you are loaded with keys.  Watch for
keys dropped by Margoyles when they are killed in this area. The
corridor eventually leads to Level 2, sub-level 2 and on the way
you should find a Darkmoon key and the "South Wind" Horn. There is
also a Grey Lock to the stairs of the afore-mentioned Level 2.
Unlock this with a Grey Key to get "Raise Dead", "Detect Magic",
"Fireball" and "Shocking Grasp" Scrolls.

In the extreme Northwest Corridor is a door to Level 4, requiring
a Spider Key.
