00:00Medusa is probably the best known of Ancient Greece's mythical beasts, and boy is she
00:19a character in Odyssey. Finding Medusa is fairly easy once you're high enough level
00:23to head on over to Lesbos. You'll need to be at least level 46 though, so Medusa is
00:29one that you'll want to take on when you're nearing the level cap of 50, because she ain't
00:33going down without a rock hard fight. Literally.
00:40You'll find the quest that'll start your adventure towards Medusa in the town of Eressos
00:45in the Petrified Valley on Lesbos. There's a quest called Romancing the Stone Garden
00:50and involves a lady whose lover has wandered too far into the Petrified Temple within the
00:54Petrified Forest, deep within the Petrified Valley. Are you sensing a theme yet? You'll
00:59have to help the woman, Brice, with a few things, namely fighting off the people trying
01:04to kill her, going to talk with a mercenary who claims to have killed Medusa already,
01:08spoiler, he hasn't, and also finding the key to Medusa's temple over on the island
01:13of Chios, within the Huntress village in the region of the Hunted Forest of Artemis. Once
01:18you've done all of that, you'll be able to head into the Petrified Temple to take on
01:23Medusa. Now, I'll warn you, Medusa does not mess around when it comes to combat. She ain't
01:28easy, but there are a few tricks to staying out of her line of fire. First, she'll send
01:32out some mercenaries to take you out, while she protects herself with a bubble shield.
01:37Deal with them, but dodge as much as you can because she'll be trying to turn you to stone
01:41while you fight and dropping lightning bombs on you. Fun! Then, when they're down, sneak
01:46and attack in on Medusa herself, before retreating towards one of the stone pillars that sit
01:51around the arena. She'll drop three lightning attacks from above in quick succession, so
01:56dodge them and then hide behind a pillar to avoid her stone gaze. Luckily, you can peek
02:01around the pillar to shoot her with some arrows while she's doing it. Just aim for the eyes,
02:05people. Then it's just a case of rinse and repeat until she's down and you can pluck
02:09the hidden piece of Eden from her golden snake hair. And if you do get hit by her stone gaze,
02:14just dodge until you do like Taylor Swift and shake it off. Prepare yourself for a long
02:19old battle, though.
