Hello,

I have some questions regarding Eye of the Beholder. Some questions have
been asked before, but I have never seen an answer to any of them in this
newsgroup.

I am playing a German version of Eye of the Beholder, so some items may
be named different in the English game.

#1:	Level 1, 2 and 3 have a small room in the upper left corner of
	the map. I have not been able to enter any of those rooms. Do you
	need to teleport this room?

#2:	Level 3 has a big room at location [20,9-23,13] (ux,uy-lx,ly). The
	map that comes with this game also shows it. I have never been able
	to enter this room. Anybody knows how to enter?

#3:	Level four contains the first 'oracle'. How should you use them?

#4:	Level four has a lever in room [29,7-31,9] (southwest). What does it
	do?

#5:	Why do I solve the quest by pulling the chain on level 4?

#6:	On level 5, there should be another small room at [2,7-3,8] (north-west
	of the teleporter). Again, I do not know how to enter.

#7:	Is there a way to get to the objects (scroll & sword) in the room
	full of teleporters? Can you reach all teleporters (I cannot reach
	two of them).

#8:	Level 6: Those that are scattered belong together. But where? Eating
	them doesn't work :-). PS: I found 10, maybe I am missing one?

#9:	Level 7: Three rooms, one 'magic', one 'armor' and one 'weapon'. Is
	there a way to get all three of them? Which one is the best.

#10:	Hall of the thieves. Does it only trigger if you have a thief in
	your party?

#11:	How do you solve the combination lock? I saw the question yesterday,
	but no answer yet.

#12:	Level 10. On all maps I could find, the upper part of level 10 is
	empty. But as I on levels 1-3 the drain lets you know there is a
	empty spot on the other side of the wall, I think level 10-12 uses
	a crack in the lower part to indicate this. Therefore, I think
	there should be some part of level 10 not drawn in any of the maps.

	I searched the whole northern part of level 10, deactivating the
	mouse and pressing 'm' (manipulate) on every wall, but without 
	success :-(

#13:	Is there a way to get back from level 11, once you have jumped?

#14:	What kind of magic rings are there? I know the ring of protection
	and the ring of feather falling. I haven't been able to identify
	the other rings, neither haven't I been able to identify what kind
	of magic the medallions and shields offer.

#15:	I still do not know how to solve the quest on level 5 and 9.
	5: All adventurers can benefit from a full pantry
	9: Where it is written, items may pass where you may not.

I know this is a very long list, but if you only know one answer to one of
these question, PLEASE let me know. If I have all the answers, I will post
a summary of them, perhaps even create a big spoiler file containing correct
maps and all locations of useful items. None of the maps I have seen so far
are correct or complete. So if you are playing using maps made by others, be
aware of the fact that you may be missing some important items, or look for
hidding doors on places there are no hidden doors. I know this from my own
experience :-).

Please excuse me for all the errors I made and thanks for at least reading
this post,

Henk-Jan.
