Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer Hints
I hear the shield Eclipse is supposed to be here somewhere. How do I get it?
1 of 7: By finding it and picking it up.
2 of 7: It's in a treasure chest.
3 of 7: The chest is in one of the four locked side rooms.
4 of 7: It's the western chest in the northwestern locked room.
5 of 7: Be sure to save before you open the chest, though. Too many times have I opened that very chest to find random stuff only, and no Eclipse.
6 of 7: If this happens to you, restore your save and try again until you get it.
7 of 7: NOTE: It's possible for the randomly generated items inside that chest to be so big that Eclipse can never appear. There isn't anything you can do about that except restore a save from before you entered the Necromancer's Guild for the first time (since entering the first time is when the random contents of chests are chosen).
