Here's how to beat Medusa in Assassin's Creed Odyssey!
Transcript
00:00 Medusa is probably the best known of Ancient Greece's mythical beasts, and boy is she
00:19 a character in Odyssey. Finding Medusa is fairly easy once you're high enough level
00:23 to head on over to Lesbos. You'll need to be at least level 46 though, so Medusa is
00:29 one that you'll want to take on when you're nearing the level cap of 50, because she ain't
00:33 going down without a rock hard fight. Literally.
00:38 You'll find the quest that'll start your adventure towards Medusa in the town of Eressos
00:45 in the Petrified Valley on Lesbos. There's a quest called Romancing the Stone Garden
00:50 and involves a lady whose lover has wandered too far into the Petrified Temple within the
00:54 Petrified Forest deep within the Petrified Valley. Are you sensing a theme yet? You'll
00:59 have to help the woman, Brice, with a few things, namely fighting off the people trying
01:04 to kill her, going to talk with a mercenary who claims to have killed Medusa already (spoiler,
01:09 he hasn't) and also finding the key to Medusa's temple over on the island of Chios within
01:14 the Huntress village in the region of the Hunted Forest of Artemis. Once you've done
01:19 all of that, you'll be able to head into the Petrified Temple to take on Medusa. Now,
01:24 I'll warn you, Medusa does not mess around when it comes to combat. She ain't easy,
01:28 but there are a few tricks to staying out of her line of fire. First, she'll send
01:32 out some mercenaries to take you out, while she protects herself with a bubble shield.
01:37 Deal with them, but dodge as much as you can because she'll be trying to turn you to
01:41 stone while you fight and dropping lightning bombs on you. Fun! Then, when they're down,
01:46 sneak and attack in on Medusa herself, before retreating towards one of the stone pillars
01:50 that sit around the arena. She'll drop three lightning attacks from above in quick succession,
01:56 so dodge them and then hide behind a pillar to avoid her stone gaze. Luckily, you can
02:01 peek around the pillar to shoot her with some arrows while she's doing it. Just aim for
02:05 the eyes, people. Then it's just a case of rinse and repeat until she's down and you
02:09 can pluck the hidden piece of Eden from her golden snake hair. And if you do get hit by
02:13 her stone gaze, just dodge until you do like Taylor Swift and shake it off. Prepare yourself
02:19 for a long battle though.
