How Do You Kill A Scrying Eye?
Killing a scrying eye in BG3 is very difficult as you can do no damage to it whatever combat method you try.
Further, destroying them won’t give players exciting rewards and only yield 10 XP.
It is very annoying to the players as the scrying eye won’t kill.
However, players can throw it off instead. Throw action is used to throw a character or item from the world or your inventory.
The steps to throw the scrying eye are given as follows:
- Enter into a turn-based mode
- Locate the scrying eye
- Aim your target
- During your turn, you can pick it up and throw it away.
- Then, it shows Athletics successful.
Similarly, the other option you can try is to select the companion with the highest strength. Then, use the shove action to push it into the chasm.
As they are resistant to attacks, you can push them off a cliff every time you encounter one without attacking.
Another option is to escape battle with one companion and initiate dialogue, which will cancel the fight mode.
However, the scrying eye is weak to thunder damage and resistant to everything else. Thunder spells can only actually damage it.
Furthermore, players can also shoot it with a crossbow to kill it in one hit. This alternative worked for some players.
Similarly, a shatter spell really works well too since the scrying eye is a construct. It has disadvantages and takes more damage from the spell.

Scrying Eye takes no damage in BG3 for any attack you try. However, they are weak against thunder resistance.
