Poison the spring and set the trap.
Rest, prepare and then return to the lookout before the boss (eat some boiled monster meat for boost).
Have a save before you this step - or you will be trapped if you can't defeat the Gazer for the Achievement.

Now you can either enter the lair or attack the Gazer (only chance for obtaining an Achievement).

Boss Gazer: strengths (Darkness, Air), weaknesses (Fire, Light), immunities (poison, enchantment, paralysis, silence, confusion). So the Cleave or Blowing Punch should work. Once the party receives damage, time for Gheesha's new AoE spell. Gazer can use regen, too so use Cleave ASAP (use an Energy Potion on Groonya) to halve the effect. He can even use a barrier spell once what will absorb all damage you will deal until it breaks (best use Nom Nom) and restore injury etc. Break the barrier ASAP and deal more damage than it can heal. Especially when he uses Fear on the party.
It is possible to defeat it with level 6, but only with much luck.
Better grind with the spiders to level 7.

Tactic:

• Best apply the first Cleave on it before the blind effect runs out (use a Potion of Energy with your hunter or thief)!
  
• The Scrolls of Fire/Light only will deal noticable damage when used before the barrier (hunter and thief).
  
• Cast Soften/Stonefall with Gheesha!
  
• Break the barrier with skills like battle dance or other multi hit skills (even Stonefall)!
  
• Avoid using Nom Nom if you have no Potion of Energy left and let Groonya collect TP so she can use Cleave again once the barrier is broken and to refresh it before it runs out!
  
• Regeneration (mass) won't heal like the single hit spell, so have Healing Potion in stock.
  
• Heal the MP of Gheesha before it runs out or is drained!
  
• Still have the Revival Potion and Resurrection Scroll - but they will only heal app. 100 HP!
  
• If possiple, use the skill Hunter's Mark to weaken its defense and refresh it before it runs out for maximal effect.
  
• Casting the group buffs or Meat Shield won't help as the boss only uses AoE skills. Better deal as much damage as possible.
  
• Survive!

You will obtain 6000 EXP.
Gazer's Hiding Place:


Items: 2 Healing Potion, 2 Mana Potion, Axe +2, Dagger +2, Sorcerer's Staff +2, Hunting Bow +2, 2 Light Breastplate +2, Heavy Breastplate +2, Robe +2, Potion of Energy.

Gear and heal up! Eat Boiled Monster Meat for Might.

Boss Fallen Heroes: Defeat the priest first, then the make, thief and last the warrior. They are weak to light. This time the group buffs and Meat Shield are recommended.
The mage can cast a barrier spell on himself so you have to break again.
The warrior can cast Meat Shield, too. So you have to attack him until it wears off.
Let Groonya collect TP for Cleave!

Once you leave, Gazer will appear again and Gheesha will use the Amulet.
