Fairly new to the game and thought I had a winning build until I teleport trapped as soon as I entered the slime pits into some floating eye balls that confused my character.
I was quaffing potions of curing but it didn’t seem to help. I guess the way these eyeballs work is they get a chance to confuse you each turn? So even though I was curing the confusion I just got reconfused the next turn? I am puzzled as to what happened exactly.
Really was disappointing as I had ++ willpower but I just got nuked as soon as they confusions landed.
Any advise understanding this aspect of the game mechanics would be appreciated!
The thing with the golden eyes is that they come in groups, and the only thing they can do it attempt to confuse you.
So yes if you pull a group of golden eyes and “only” have Will++ you can easily get chain confused, in a manner you can’t break out of with potions.
One of the tricks is to abuse they do no damage, combined with the fact that nothing in Slime can shout. Try to kill the golden eyes without any other slimes being present, and it doesn’t matter that you’re stumbling about blindly.
Another trick is to get Will+++
When you get chain confused by golden eyes, quaffing potion of enlightenment before curing is a good idea. It’ll raise your Will and stop the chain hopefully, you don’t need Will+++ in Slime, but it can be helpful occasionally.
If you don’t have enlightenment pots and your Will is a bit low, then quickly nuking the eyes becomes a priority. They don’t have any resists and their HP is pathetic, but they constantly blink around, which will make melee range solutions annoying. Scroll of poison or any “explosion” wand (roots, iceblast, warping) work wonders though.

great, helpful tips I think I was just thrust into a really bad spot with that teleport trap, out in the wide open getting zapped with confuse while slimes pounded me and not really sure of the best way to handle it.
