How to defeat a beholder in D&D?

To defeat a Beholder in D&D, disrupt its sight with magical darkness or heavy obscurement, use minions as decoys, force it to use its low Strength saves, stay spread out to avoid its anti-magic cone, and hit it with high-level ranged attacks, exploiting its tendency to prioritize eye rays over its bite. The key is to negate its powerful eye rays by creating situations where it can't target you effectively, forcing it into less optimal attacks like its bite or telekinesis.
