   Well, here it is... I've been playing around with this game for the past
couple of days (it's kind of addicting) and I finally solved the thing.  To
see the end of the game just unzip this file into your eotb directory or if
you already unzipped this somewhere else just copy the file EOBDATA.SAV into
your eotb directory.  The EOBDATA.SAV file contains all the information on a
saved game.  As you will notice I went through the data and edited the
characters to suit my needs (ie. all their stats are 100) I also gave them a
few items like the +4 magic swords and the drow shields, magic rings, etc...
To solve the game just load the game in progress and you will be facing a door
to your east.  Just press the button to open the door and step through.
  Xanathar (the beholder) will suddenly appear and give you a little speech
then you can attack him.  The easiest way to do this is to step back once so
that Xanathar is in the doorway.  Attack him until you start getting beat real
bad (you will) then use the wand of slivias (its in Gandalf's hand) to knock
him backwards and close the door.  Now you can rest the party and heal all
the characters (if anyone died Gandalf can bring them back to life) then you
can re-cast the spells that were on the party (Bless, Protection from Evil,
Aid, and Haste) and open the door to try again.  It will probably take two or
three tries but eventually he'll die and that will be the end of the game.
  You get the little speech about being hero's and the game ends... lame eh?

  Well that's how it ends but there is alot more to the game than the end.
While I was playing around editing the game I discovered lots of crazy items
and I also managed to map the thing out (thirteen levels worth).  If I get
enough response to this I will draw up the maps in distributable form and
write up a character/item editor...  let me know.  I can be reached at
The RUSH (313) 348-6057 just leave me email or post on any celerity-net bbs.

                                   HAVE FUN!

6/3/91 - There is an easier way to kill Xanathar than the way mentioned
above.  Directly behind the party at the start of the game is a door
which automatically shuts when passed through.  Another interesting thing
about this door is that Xanathar can't go through it or come near it.
You can use this door to your advantage.

First open the door and let Xanathar out.  When you start to fight him, 
move all the way back through the automatic closing door that is 
directly behind the party.  From now on, use the "hit and run" tactic, 
where you give Xanathar a hit and run backwards into the automatic 
closing door.  Keep doing this until Xanathar croaks.  You don't even
need to use the Wand of Silvias with this method.
