OK, but I haven't even gotten to the crystal yet. I can hear it
humming so I know I'm in the right area. However, There is a glass
wall (for lack of a better term) that I haven't been able to find a
way through. I tried clicking on the box in the center of a large
room but it hasn't gotten me anywhere that does me any good, as far as
I can tell. How do I get that into that room blocked by the glass
wall?

I hate this dungeon too. My characters are around level 60 and we keep
getting our butts kicked! I normally like to figure things out for
myself, but I am just plain tired of this dungeon. Can anyone give me
suggestions on how to kill the floating eyes? or, at least, how I can be
better protected from them?

What kind of party do you have? It makes concrete suggestions more
helpful. Saying to use dragon's breath doesn't help if you don't have
any dark magic casters. :)
Having said that, dragon's breath will take out a whole group of them
in one shot. Flying Eyes (ie., proper name) usually died with one
shot of incinerate. The others I used Acid Burst or Implosion, but I
don't recall anything working consistently well on them. Acid Burst
was probably the most consistent spell but never really did a lot of
damage. However, relatively speaking, eyes don't have a lot of
hitpoints, so if you have a strong melee party, you should be able to
hack them apart fairly easily provided you can keep from falling
asleep, etc.
And there really is no way to be better protected since they will just
strip your protections from you. So, it's just best to realize you
are going to get pounded and concentrate on getting a few of them
before you have to bail out. Probably the best thing, though, is to
wait until you gain 10 or 20 levels, then try again.

Try toxic cloud. It will do wonders on the eyes. Usually, I just dragon
breath once or twice then toxic cloud the survivors.

Actually fire-based attacks work against Maddening Eyes too. The
only sub-type that's immune to fire-based magic is the Terrible
Eye type.

All flying creatures have an annoying habit of flying beyond
the melee range, i.e., right on top of you. This has got to
go in MM7. NWC has got to make a choice, either let us fly
indoor or let the melee fighters have their chance at closing
in and hacking the critters to pieces.

I waited till the last moment before doing Darkmoor. It makes
life a lot easier when your big guns all have 800+ spell points.
Later...

Ok Ive been working my way thru this dungeon as well, my party is around level
45 now (was around 35 when I started Darkmoor :) ). Ive got Hero Priest Arch
Druid and Archmage... Im now in the burial chamber working on cleaning out the
outer area, Ive got about 15 more eyes to do and I can start working on the
inner chamber. Not looking forward to all those lich's/eyes. Anyway after
reading thru this thread its become evident Im way too low for this dungeon so
my question is how long before it respawns... I dont want to put it aside
while gaining more levels only to have to slog thru the whole dungeon from
square one again because it respawned. If that were the case Id rather just
keep hacking away at it like I am.
Thanks in advance for any info.

I think all dungeons respawn after 2 years.

Can someone post an answer on how to get past the "forcefield", glass wall,
or whatever it is the prevents you from entering the big room right next to
the room that generates liches if you step on the brown pads.
Also, someone posted a message about clicking on a plaque etc to activate
hanging the hanging red/blue cubes. So far I have only found one plaque.
When I clicked on the plaque, a lever opened up right next to the plaque. I
pulled the lever. When I went back out the first hanging cube had turned
red. When I clicked on it the message read "The way has been cleared".
Worked my around and fought a bunch of monsters in a large room with another
hanging blue cube. Haven't found any plaque that turns it red. If I click
on it, it teleports me back to the room with the red hanging cube. What am
I doing wrong.
Thanks

Try going around from the outside. Use the side entrance and jump into
the room.

There's nothing wrong. The next "blue-turn-red" cube is in that room
you're trying to get into.

The room I can't get into appears to only have one entrance, the one blocked by a
forcefield. There don't appear to be any side openings. I had no problem
getting into the room with the second blue/red cube. It is in the first big
room, surrounded by a cavern you can access after you touch the first red cube.

There's another entrance, from a balcony. As I've mentioned
previously, you need to go from a side entrance. What I meant was that
you had to go around the outside of the building... instead of heading
in by the main entrance, go left of it, and follow the wall until you
reach a flight of stairs along the outside wall.

I'm sad that nobody correctly answered Tom Reece's question from June 24, 1998.... Tom, that forcefield is disabled by clicking on the second big cube hanging from the ceiling (not in that area). But first you gotta turn that cube from blue to red by flipping a switch that will tell you that "the fires of the dead shall burn forever".
There you go. I know you'd been refreshing this page every day for the past 23 years hoping somebody would help you. Now you can finally finish the game.
