Description

Something evil is lurking below the city of Waterdeep. The Lords of Waterdeep summon a group of heroes to investigate, but someone or something has been watching the proceedings. After the heroes enter the sewers, the ceiling collapses behind them. The only way out is the way down, into a dungeon filled with monsters, traps and puzzles.

Eye of the Beholder is a dungeon crawler RPG with a first-person perspective based on the 2nd Edition AD&D rules. The starting party consists of four characters and up to two NPCs can join later. Combat and magic happen in real time, similarly to Dungeon Master. There is a variety of monsters to fight and spells to cast. The game features a point-and-click interface for fighting, spellcasting and handling objects.

Subject: Transfer to Eye of the Beholder II

So I beat it and I love it. It was really great to roll through a game of my childhood. Now, how do I transfer my characters from my save game to Eye of the Beholder II in this format??? Please help!

Subject: Amazing game but...

I'm in a predicament. I have my save data on my school computer and want to transfer it to my personal computer. Is there any way to do that?

Subject: found a list of the manual words

Loved this game in the 90s but I could never figure out how to get past level 3 even with the map!

Anyway, replacementdocs does not seem to have the manual anymore but GOG has a list of the words from user Undeadhalforc https://www.gog.com/forum/forgotten_realms_collection/eob1_and_eob_2_copy_protection_codes_here_they_are

Subject: Manual Needed

I loved this game when I played it in the 90's, and this seems to be everything that game had, however at the end of the first level you are required for a password verification that you get from the game's manual. So unless you have a copy of your own you're stuck to level 1.
