This last statement is not true.  A beholder doesn't cast anything, all of
his spell attacks are natural to him. His eye stalks automatically produce
the spell, as such, even if you hit him, the beholder will be able to
use all of his attacks against you.

I must agree however to the first statement. You don't need to kill the
beholder corps to win the game.  Head on to Yulash and take care of the
Cult Of Moander's sigil, by entering the Pit of Moander.
