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 line of fire to hit you. Prevent this as much as possible.
- Block their malmutate by shielding yourself with other monsters, hostile or friendly. Summons, like from scroll of butterflies, Haunt, or Summon Horrible Things, work well.
- Conjurations users can use Fulminant Prism to block their line of fire.
- Block their line of sight with a scroll of fog.
- You can take out a shining eye with piercing attacks, with silver javelins being especially effective. You can also using smite-targeted attacks like LRD, Airstrike, or Portal Projectile for the same effect.
