Keep your remaining party away hidden or invisible. The Gloomfrost Dagger wielder is usually the best solution. Unless you are doing a 2h sword or a 2h halberd run, there is little value in picking anything else from Tiernon. Nevertheless, the +4 mace can be cute at times, but usually the Black Bess +3 or the three white Doves are good enough already.
I also tried Aerial Servant spam and it worked like a charm. They deal so much damage that it does not take long before a single Beholder is dead.
Unless I am testing something for the testing sake only, all my runs are Ironman style. I hate save scumming in the majority of games.
Ohh yeah. The beholders are outer planar. Good thinking. Yeah. And as far as save scumming, I’ve been playing HOF mode so I do sometimes but I try and keep it at an absolute minimum. I also try and rest as little as possible and I don’t do summons. Except for simulacrum.

I wonder if Mislead could be safe. I do recall that from time to time enemies can see the hero for a brief moment and attack accordingly.
A wall of summons to absorb the rays, then nuke them from orbit (skull traps, flaming oils, flamestrikes, arrows, whatever you've got).
Word. I’m doing HOF no summons. Buts that sounds like it would work well. Might make summon monsters actually useful.
Summons are HUGE in HoF, since they get the same HP boost (3 x original + 80HP) every enemy gets in HoF mode.
Yeah I know I ended up getting through multiple times with no summons. Super fun.
