*Their attack requires a clear path to hit you. Mass [[Summonings]] spells like [[Demonic Horde]] or [[Shadow Creatures]] can shield you while your minions charge in to combat. Even [[Summon Butterflies]] can provide protection.
+
*Their attack requires a clear line of fire to hit you. Prevent this as much as possible.
**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).
+
**Block their malmutate by shielding yourself with other monsters, hostile or friendly. [[Summon]]s, like from [[scroll of butterflies]], [[Haunt]], or [[Summon Horrible Things]], work well. Conjurations users can use [[Fulminant Prism]] to block their line of fire.
*An [[amulet of resist mutation]] renders them ''almost'' harmless (90% mutation resistance). Try not to have them in [[LOS]] without one.
+
**You can also block their [[line of sight]] with a [[scroll of fog]].
*[[Airstrike]] can take them out quickly from behind a meat shield using [[smite]]-targeting, as can [[Portal Projectile]].
+
*If you block their line of fire, you can then use [[piercing]], [[smite-targeted]], or AOE attacks to safely attack the eye. Examples include [[silver]] [[javelin]]s (which are especially effective against malmutators), [[LRD]], [[Airstrike]], and [[Portal Projectile]].
 +
*Shining eyes are slow. If one appears from the edge of [[LOS]], you can walk away to reposition, buff, and/or summon.

Useful Info
