*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.
+
*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.
*[[Transmuter]]s could use [[Sticks to Snakes]] to shield themselves from Malmutation and quickly kill shining eyes.
+
**You can also block their [[line of sight]] with a [[scroll of fog]].
*[[Airstrike]] and [[LRD]] 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

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.
