Trophy Guide and List of Achievements

Grab on Medusa's Head

We recommend grabbing and holding on to Medusa's head to try and decapitate it. Climb up from the back to slash its head, or try knocking it down to lower its head.

When equipped with slashing weapons, you can get Medusa's Head as an item to use against enemies. You will also get the trophies Getting a Head and Off with Its Head! when you defeat a Medusa this way.

Attack Medusa with Lightning

Medusa is weak to Lightning, so we recommend having Mage Pawns that can buff your weapon with Lightning Boon.

Fight Medusa from Behind

While we recommend attacking its head, attacking Medusa from behind is a safe way of fighting it. Sticking behind Medusa allows you to face less bow and petrification attacks.

How to Get Medusa's Head

Cut Off Medusa's Head

You can cut off Medusa's head by attacking its head with slashing weapons. We recommend knocking Medusa down to attack and cut off its head in a single blow.

How to Get Medusa Head

Decays Depending on Medusa's HP

If you decapitate Medusa when it has 3 or more HP bars left, you will receive Preserved Medusa Head. At 1 HP bar and below, you will obtain Medusa Head or Decayed Medusa Head instead.

Decays and Loses Power on Use

Medusa's head can decay after the passage of time, or through multiple uses. Once decayed, Medusa's head will lose its power to petrify enemies. Preserve it by depositing it at an Inn, and use it sparingly against tough enemies.
