How to kill Scrying Eye without alerting gnomes

[Alex_x86]

I agreed to help the gnome mercs to double-cross Nere (I also need to take care of Nere for the Spaw) however looks like I cannot sneak in on the eye and if I kill it all around becomes hostile. Does anyone have a good strategy on how to take care of the eye quietly without alerting everyone around?

There are actually several opportunities if you follow it. I personally often climb the ladder and get the perch above and sit in hiding and wait for it. But you could really hide from just about anywhere and get the job done with a well placed arrow.

It followed my party around a corner from the rockfall. Nobody could see us. Lae'zel gave it one chop and, bye bye scrying eye. The duergar didn't bat an eyelid.

It's rather easy. Specially if you have Gale with Fog Cloud. Just go near harbour where you landed first time while entering the area. There is door that leads to cells (past the spiders and stairs that leads to other gnomes.

Just enter the room and eye will follow. Close the door behind it (it will leave but hang on the area) Cast the Fog over your chars and snipe it down with bow. It tries to come close to you but wont know what hit it. There wont be anyone either to notice your actions either.

Chromatic orb (lightning) one-shots it if your sorcerer is spec'd right.
You could try sneak damage, too, but that's less sure.

Guys, please check the date of the original topic: it was for the Early Access version from a year ago. And it is slightly different now: for example you can talk your way out even if everyone saw you singing big fat hammer at it.

The first attempt let me talk my way out of it, but every time after the guards immediately attack!

Talk to the dwarves who are kicking bodies into the water and persuade them to leave because you'll do it for them, then kill it when it's in that area.

this game is really stupid sometimes

Just managed to get through this. Here's what I did:
- Wait for scrying eye to be near the dock
- open the metal door at X=600, Y=392
- Get inside
- Cast command approach on the eye so it follows you into the room
- Make sure the door is closed and the door you can see through the cell gate (use mage hand if needed)
-kill the bugger

Thunder evaporates them instantly - paladin or a thunderwave. Also pushing them into an abyss works. They push easy.

Click turn based ode as soon as one is next to you. Zap them in one shot.
Yes, I know this is an old thread.
