Just below the main are the directional arrows for movement, a compass, a message screen and a Camp button on the right-bottom corner.īy clicking the Camp button, you have access to an in-game menu, where your party can rest and recover health, where any clerics and mages can memorise spells (which should be the 1st thing you do when starting a new game) scribe any scrolls for your mage to access new spells and other game options (like save and load, although the game only has one savestate). The characters are on the right (where you can use any items or click their individual portraits to access their inventory, equipment and stats). The main screen during gameplay is composed of the main view on the left featuring a 1st-person perspective. You have to remember that your party is formed by 2 columns and who’s ever in the front of the party are the ones that’ll fight the enemies in close quarters combat and the ones behind can only attack using projectiles or magic (but be careful when attacked from the back or the sides). You’ll find them throughout your adventure (or what’s left of some of them). ![]() I also recommend rolling a cleric, because you’ll definitely need one.Īnd while you start the game up to 4 characters, you have the option to add 2 more NPCs to your party. If you’re not familiarized with this process, then I recommend reading the manual beforehand or even the clue book to get an idea of how to form a good party. Although there isn’t a lot of variety of portraits to choose from, the ones that there are, aren’t bad. We do this by choosing their race, class (or classes, if you’re multiclassing), alignment, then we reroll or modify their stats to our liking and finally, we choose our characters’ appearance through a series of portraits. Then we go to the character creation screen where we have to create up to 4 characters. Then we see our group of adventurers arriving at Waterdeep and entering the sewers, which then collapses, blocking the exit. ![]() The intro features a secret council of robed individuals that decide to hire a group of adventurers to go to the sewers below the city of Waterdeep and investigate whatever is going down there, but they’re being spied on by an unseen being through a crystal ball. Compared to the first game, many more illustrated NPC encounters and cutscenes were added.The game starts with some good music score for the time and then it shows a quite impressive cinematic intro. Characters can reach higher levels and learn new spells, must face new and tough monsters, and solve multiple puzzles. Six classes (Fighter, Ranger, Paladin, Cleric, Mage, and Thief) are available. Combat flows in real time, and characters can move as a single unit to lure enemies or avoid blows.Ī starting party consists of four characters, which can be transferred from the earlier game or created from scratch. The game is set entirely in pseudo-3D maze-like areas no automapping is available. It uses the same point-and-click gameplay mechanics and controls as the first game, with only minor changes. Khelben teleports the party to the forests near Darkmoon so they may find out what kind of evil is working in the towers of the temple.Įye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon is, like its predecessor, a first-person dungeon-crawling role-playing game based on the second edition of AD&D rules. People have been disappearing and shallow graves containing human remains have been found. Strange things are happening in the forests near Waterdeep, centered around the Temple Darkmoon. The Archmage Khelben summons the Heroes of Waterdeep, slayers of the Beholder Xanathar, for another mission. ![]()
