Blind The Absolute
Scrying Eyes are used by the Absolute, and in Act 1, players are able to help the Duergar against the Absolute by taking out the Scrying Eye. As long as players can destroy the eye without being seen by it, this won’t impact the player’s relationship with other members of the Absolute, and you can still have your side with Nere after freeing him from the cave-in.
Should You Destroy Other Scrying Eyes?
Scrying Eyes like the one found in the Goblin Camp can make a battle around them much more difficult. While they don’t have any combat capabilities themselves, Scrying Eyes will spend each turn summoning other enemies from nearby to join the battle. In the Goblin Camp, this can be very dangerous as many nearby goblins can be alerted and will join the battle mid-combat. Scrying Eyes can also be difficult to destroy unless you know how leading to them spending many rounds summoning additional enemies if you’re not quick enough.
