# Talk:Neutral Quest
How about stone-to-fleshing the beholder's statue after the level is cleared? (I have only played vanilla nethack, so I might be missing something important.) Tjr 16:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Stoning the Beholder is mostly a Last Resort if you character is too weak to kill the Beholder in Combat, that is how I killed the Beholder, I turned into a Cockatrice to stone it, then with a Dwarfish mattock, I broke the statue and I got some rocks and thr Key of Neutrality. --Maha Bufu 02:18, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Strategy for the Beholder: New page
There's a separate page for the Beholder (SLASH'EM) monster now; probably the advice at the bottom should be merged onto that. (I don't really want to do that myself, because I don't want to get into the question of whether it's easier to defeat the Beholder with a blindfold or with reflection, not having tried both ways.)--Slandor 10:42, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
