| Description | |
| Update - Please visit the new site and support the new EOB 2 mod. Modual Update 4 - OK, this fix is for Dorhum, fixes the problem with him not leveling up. Update 3 - Version 5 Enhanced Edition - This will be the final update done to the mod; this version of the mod is highly edited. Most levels have been highly detailed with new grass, rock and many other placeable items. Some areas have been redone and the areas changed. A lot of new bug fixes, script changes and fixes, most of the Armor in the game has been changed with a new makeover look. Difficulty levels of many creatures have been increased. The overall Cosmetic look of the entire mod will look and feel different. Plus many other changes and fixes and some new weapons added. Be warned now, this new mod can cause older slower PCs or older graphic cards could have issues with performance. You absolutely must use v 5 of the Mod and Hak pack and the two new hak files for the armor changes or the armor will look cosmetically odd. We hope you enjoy it, Update 2 -- Version 4 of the mod and HAK file are now avalible, it contains many bug fixes, texture updates and enhancements. Some new weapons have been added the vendors, Flails and a few other weapons for some of the other classes that needed them. Ver 4 of the HAK file is Now avalible. Update -- I have uploaded the prior ver 2.7 of the mod for those in Germany, Spain and Italy. patch 1.69 was not translated for those in Europe. This version of the mod is also compatible with the newer 3.0 hak file. New Enhanced Ver 3.0 This version is now compatable with patch 1.69. Eye of the Beholder v3.0 Enhanced is finally here. You now start at level 2 and get more money to buy a few better items to help you get going a little quicker. Note: You must use the newest v3.0 HAK File of you will have issues playing the mod. We have included many new encounters to give you a more realistic feel. The biggest change is the way some of the scripts have been rewritten and the newer textures for the Undead. The new textures are just really well done. This is a community add-on that we have added to the mod. Wait until you see them!! The New Textures apply o the following creatures. Werewolves, 5 remodeled Zombies and Warriors, Mummies, Ghouls, Ghast, Wight’s, New Kobolds, Ravangers, Litches, Vampires, Undead Skeletons and Warriors, Ogres, Doom Knights, Imps. And the Newer and meaner Beholder. We have also added a few new boss encounters too; these can be found in the secret dungeon. Also with those there are some new armor and weapons added to help fill out a few of the other classes. The overall difficulty has been increased in certain areas. There are also 2 new cut scenes added. I can’t say that there will be any more updates to the mod. So we really hope you enjoy the new enhanced version. ATI CARD owners there is an issue with some of the later ATI drivers. YOU MAY/MUST TURN OFF SHINNY WATER or the game will crash when loading the first cut scene. The EOB Team is proud to release Eye of the Beholder. This mod can be played solo or with 4 player multiplayer. Each of the 12 levels has been recreated from the original maps used in the 1991 version created by Westwood Studios, 2 SECRET LEVELS and 8 in-game cut scenes. The original Clue Book for EOB can be used to help you complete the game, if you don’t have the clue book we have included a PDF Walk thru to help you. There are over 25 side quests in Eye of the Beholder that can be completed. Don't rush through the maps or you will miss out on over 200 new magical items that have been added to the game. There are 7 new Henchman that have been created just for Eye of the Beholder. Find them and use them, as they will be one of your greatest assets in the game when you are fighting for your life. We hope you will enjoy playing Eye of the Beholder as much as we did creating it. - EOB Team |

This is the best "Saturday night LAN party" module ever. It's flawless for multiplayer and everything looks great and works great. Highly recommended!
Just vote, feedback sent via email :)
Played from old vault
I'm curious about this module and its sequel, Eye of the Beholder 2. Is EOB 2 a direct continuation from part 1? Or is it merely a related story? Basically, what I'm asking is if the story from EOB 2 assumes that you have played and completed EOB 1. Thanks!
There is only really minor conection (some graves) and EoB 2 is played with different character than EoB1.
Thanks!
Heard about this legendary module for years before I played it. Glad I did because it's pretty good, and, most importantly, very bug free (except for one of the Ruby Golems, which doesn't have an animation while moving until it attacks you...it just slides across the floor). Excellent mix of puzzles and combat. Any failings the module has lies at the hands of the original Westwood developers, mainly that the dungeons are too many and too massive, resulting in some tedious areas. New creatures were professionally done. I have to admit that I fell through a few pits and didn't go back to these missed levels so probably missed tons of content, surprises and special items. Looking forward to the sequel. 9/10.
Well, my patience ran out after i discovered that the 'potion of recall' lead you to a useless room, so after have found billions of magic items you can't even go to sell them to someone, since if you're stuck in the sewers. And i had to fix the camera height, thing that, i don't really understand why someone should change that value. Oh, and zombies that pop out from barrels. I hope that's a joke?
hi!!!

FP!
I played this mod a year ago, with a halfing bard, and I couldn't get pass the undead floor. So I gave it another two weeks ago, with a monk and finished yesterday. I think that this is as good as it gets, from the cutscenes that don't extend beyond what is needed, to the companions, the decoration and layout, the secret walls, the loot, the enemies, boss encounters, puzzles, the secret quests. Although I haven't played the original this was a blast from begining to end, I didn't encounter a single bug on the playthrough.
The EoB Team did a great job and I'd give it a 10 if not for two things that I felt were a bit lackluster or perhaps were affected because of my override files. I dont think that anyone from the team will read this but, whatever.
-During the final battle, there was no music.
-I wish the team had put music on the dwarven halls, which felt like a safe haven, and he tileset looked great so maybe this track would be fitting

Once again thanks for the all the hard work you put into this, I wish there were more comments on the module because is one of the greatest on the vault.
Hi Joaquim98,
Thank you for your feedback. Glad you liked the mod.
Not sure about the comments on the music. We didn’t have anything to do with that at all. We just kept the original music in place. Did you not have you music on while playing?
Anyway, appreciated your feedback.
Music was on, Im 100% sure, maybe it was due to a couple of override files I had( during the playthrough I used the "Override Compilation of Ages", which made Xanathar invincible, I had to delete a file so that the ray's saving throws would succeed with numbers below 50).
Its nice to know that the team still cares about the module.
We defiantly care, I’m always checking the forums to make sure I’m not missing any comments or suggestions.
This brought back memories of Dragon mag. arriving, reading the review then getting it and playing
real old school feel, well done
