Useful Info

Shining eyes are dangerous floating monsters that deal no damage, but aggressively blast you with mutation-inflicting gaze attacks. Although these give you good mutations roughly 5% of the time, bad mutations are much, much more common. They are found in the Slime Pits, and can be summoned by a few enemies through the Summon Eyeballs spell.

Tips & Tricks

  • Their attack requires a clear path to hit you. Mass Summonings spells like Shadow Creatures can shield you while your minions charge in to combat. Even Summon Butterflies can provide protection.
    • If you lack access to summons, keeping other monsters between you and the shining eye also works, though less effectively (as they'll be attempting to kill you).
  • Airstrike can take them out quickly from behind a meat shield using smite-targeting, as can Portal Projectile.
