killed this for the first time last night and after looking through the listed attacks just now, it seems theres an unlisted attack which i saw last night.

at first i thought it somehow spat out it's eye or something (no idea why it would do that) but no, after i carefully snuck around the main body to see what it was doing with it's back to me i saw quite the interesting sight.

(note: i only had my main pawn in this fight and he had already died while fending off tentacles for me. we were down on the main floor too.) it had turned it's back to me and projected what looked like a floating eye...i guess it was an illusion of some sort but this floating "illusion eye" was actually projecting several thin focused beams of light in multiple directions. now, i obviously didn't go and let that stuff hit me but once i got back to my hiding spot (i had been sniping it from behind the pillar next to the door leading to Corridor of Emptiness) something exploded off where that illusion had been resulting in a large cloud of smoke.

that mystery aside, i can safely say that playing as a magic archer and sniping from that position is rathertricky at best. for one, you have to fend off/dodge 3-4 types of tentacles (small ones like you'd see in the quest "lure of the abyss", then larger ones, then those real huge ones that serve only to launch you into the air for impact + minor fall damage. or it would have done fall damage had it launched me outside of those stairs.) and sniping the gazer itself from down there gives only a small window between the walls and the pillar to hit it where it damages it. a somewhat cheap strategy but hey, whatever works, right?
