Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Hints

Argh! The beholder was the wrong type!

  • 1 of 5: Yep, and now you have to go kill another.
  • 2 of 5: Well, you don't HAVE to -- you could decide to kill illithids, or a Kuo-Toan prince.
  • 3 of 5: Even though you only have to do one, you should probably go through all three areas, since you get some very nice artifact pieces -- namely, the equalizer parts.
  • 4 of 5: The beholder area is probably the easiest, then the Kuo-Toan city, with the illithids being the hardest, but the most rewarding as well.
  • 5 of 5: Once you have one of the items, just bring it back to the Matron mother.
