The EOB2 maps have a lot of levels and sublevels, where the difference is arbitrary. You'll encounter cursed items in the game, so always identify an item before equipping it, or have a Remove Curse spell available. There is no time limit in the game, so you can rest as much as you want. To identify an item, the mage must be holding it when they cast the spell. So it's a good idea to have a variety of classes and races in your party.ĮOB2 includes the Improved Identify spell, so you no longer have to rely on orbs and oracles. For example, thieves will notice hidden buttons, and mages will notice illusionary walls. In many places in the game, certain classes and races can notice things. If you create a new party, we'd recommend going with a Paladin, Ranger, Cleric and Mage/Thief (or build a pure mage and then recruit Amber later). EOB2 seems like it was tuned for an imported party, so if you don't use one then you'll have a much tougher time. The Quick Start Party and any newly created party will have a lower level and much worse equipment than an imported party. The Quick Start Party is pretty good, with nice stats and maximum hit points. EOB2 will then allow you to import any four characters from that save into the game. To import your characters from EOB, you'll need to move a saved game file from that game into the EOB2 directory. If you use DosBox for this mapping, then you'll also need to map the reverse (7=A, 5=S, and so forth), or it won't work.

We always remap the numpad keys to WASD for moving and turning, plus QE for strafing: That would leave you with an awkward set of keys to manage, but you can use DosBox to remap them (by pressing control-F1). If the key doesn't always register for you, then you can use the PgUp key instead. We used ASE when writing the walkthrough.ĮOB2 has a problem with the numpad-9 key, which is used to turn right. It makes EOB2 much friendlier to play, which might be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view. It provides auto-mapping, save backups, item identification, and more. A useful tool when playing Eye of the Beholder II (EOB2) is theĪll-Seeing Eye (ASE).
