[@Jacksontruman92]

Best way to get a persevere head is being a Wayfinder, using the Magic Archer skill that put enemies to sleep. Then with a slashing weapon attack the head once she is sleep. Insta kill with a perfect head to boot.

[@VantaClawz]

100% best way.

[@Thataliah]

I was just going to say this. She is stupid easy to kill this way. One hit to her head after she is asleep and there you go; Preserved Medusa Head.

[@PulloffPrime]

after i defeated medusa, i hadn't noticed my pawn picked up the head. i didnt know it existed. she wasted it on a goddamn cyclops.

[@MoonIitStroll]

I killed Medusa and got the best version of the head but on the way to the Griffin I was attacked by a Chimera and since I heard the head had multiple charges, I tried to petrify the Chimera... he turned towards me and hit me and apparently that imediately destroys the head.

[@pancaketornado]

One of, if not the easiest way to get a preserved head is to go on Thief (or Warfarer with daggers) and bring a mage pawn with Lightning Affinity. Wait until your daggers are enchanted with the lightning buff, then have your pawns 'Wait' and stab away on only her head. It tends to rip off the head about 2 health bars in pretty consistently.

[@XxRDZ15xX]

I did it with a warrior I used the sword that had plus 100 in slash forgot the name but it sells in bakbattahl had mage lightning enchant my sword and just sliced away and it was actually quick it only took like one health bar to complete and I didn’t even tell my pawns to wait.

[@phenixopr]

Theirs thief daggers that have a lighting effect you can loot

[@lopez94000]

@@XxRDZ15xXdid you climb up to her head? Or kept doing the upward jumping slice till her head came off.

[@lamtung5300]

There is also a ring wich reduces your damage (you are doing almost zero dmg) Wich also helps not killing her before the head comes off

[@XxRDZ15xX]

@@lopez94000 climbed up to the back of her neck

[@nicholasalexander9866]

So I’m pretty sure people have already done this, but I was able to get to Battahl through the caves on the right side instead of the gate with the beast mask or the other left side of map like I see recommended. I just thought I’d let some know in case y’all wanted a different option. Yall probably know this though lol

[@Thataliah]

You could also sneak in via the fancy ox cart. If you travel to Checkpoint from Vernworth, via that ox cart, as soon as you get off at Checkpoint go back down the road and you will find the fancy cart. It is always just behind the Vernworth cart at this point. You can't sit in this one, you just stand in it. The guards with the cart will grumble at you but they don't actually do anything. Just be aware none of the guards in Battahl will be happy to see you. You will get a warning before they attack you; they will walk up to you and say something like, "what are you doing here?" and you will have a bit of time to move away from them. it's not super difficult to keep off their radar; they are very 'out of sight, out of mind'. Just don't stand still too long in the city, or near the Checkpoint Gate. Also, be sure to wait until the cart is a ways past the Gate before you get out once you are on the Battahl side.

[@werofpm]

quick tip, wear te courtly gear and you just waltz in, soldiers dont even look. just dont walk in the front door, one guard does get uppity

be sure to look them all up so you dont have a reason to play the game anymore, dont want you having fun or not using meta builds afterall

[@DANCERcow]

I really hope when they do inevitably have dlc that they bring back silence, petrification, dark and other elemental status effects and debilitations that they haven't put in yet!

[@michaelsiedlak2559]

There in book that u can use

[@WarrenBerzerkerLee]

All I want back is torpor give me my rusted daggers godamnit 😂

[@TheLDispenser]

They should have Silence and petrification still. I know they have a curative for curing petrification. I believe they do for silenced too

[@youhavetoguessit]

​​@@TheLDispenser they do. These two are still in the game. Medusa can petrify you, I've been silenced before by something (forgot what).

[@TFTWst3a1thyy]

Chimeras, lichs and wights all have silence so far. Cockatrices are in the game again, they were the ONLY thing to petrify in the first game, so they added the Medusa atleast giving us two reasons to carry’s Softs 😂

[@Rushgarroth]

You can also Petrify her with her own head so you dont have to get the shield or switch vocations. Just put the head in your storage and at best have a portstone set up infront of her lait to reduce traveltime / decay time

[@Lolatyou332]

@2:40 you probably would just use the stealth mechanic for theives to get by the guard without being noticed.

[@PaNDaSNiP3R]

Can’t wait to beat this game and play it again now that I know as much as I do. I never do that but this games been so damn fun

[@Anomyos]

c'mom, Medusa and shield that reflects its gaze'? One of the most known stories.

[@Johnggernaut]

Guarantee to take her best head, use Thief and have a mage that gives you the lightning enchant. Climb up and tear her up and her heads comes off pretty quick.

[@blackyvertigo]

just having the bow isn't enough, you have to get the killing blow with it. it's also almost 4x heavier than any other bow so i don't recommend using batthali enhancing.

[@stevenlannon1020]

The head decays sooooooo fast. I didn't even make it back to a storage location and it was already done...

[@ErenYeager13994]

It was said that once you got medusa's preserved head you can give it to you're main pawn and throw him/her into the water this will not decay it if I remember correctly you can revive you're main pawn once you go to the rock then take it to the storage close to you in town I am going to try this as of now I am trying to get to medusa fun fact btw my arisen is created to look like Perseus from wrath of the titans I played the 2010 clash of the titans game years ago I got the game to continue perseus's journey in the game dark Arisen I was 2014 Hercules Created Arisen hope this helps

[@georgegotjokes]

I totally did the sculpture quest without using Medusa…

[@FutureDeep]

I used Medusa and one of my hired pawns was all "My master never even thought to do it this way!" Feels good when that happens.

[@poizunheizu]

Was literally just looking up stuff about medusa in this game, perfect timing

[@Kurai_Hikari]

6:43 - 6:53 is such a mood 😂 Also what really sucked for me was that when I commanded my pawns to wait, they would stay there until I get into a fight with the Medusa, to which they all come charging into the lair and just completely ruin the fight for me. Even when I spammed the wait command when I noticed they started moving. After the fight, they just go back to waiting outside 😒

[@kimob4]

What about the savagery extract? What do you do with that?

[@requiemjigo7753]

Easiest way to get the preserved head is : be warfarer, have sporific (sleep arrow) on magic archer and just any blade weapon. So sleep medusa, and swap to bladed weapon and slash at her head. Boom, easy

[@anthonymarshall.martial1908]

Easiest way to get a perfect Medusa head so far for me is by using the warfarer vocation, with the magic archer use the soporific arrow skill to put her to sleep then use the use the Indomitable lash skill from the warrior vocation on her head and that cuts her head clean ! Takes no more than 30 seconds to beat her like this usually :)

[@ZTriggerGaming]

Just get her down, stand by her head and use a Triangle/Y Button execution with a slashing weapon. Came off for me first try while she was still on her first health bar.

[@IKAMO76]

I never used the key to enter the vault under the castle. I used high salamander as a sorcerer to kill the guard (hit the door with it too) and walked into the vault which was unlocked. I’m thinking that high salamander either broke the door or bugged it so I could just walk in.

[@madmarduk1936]

Go in as thief (don’t use frosted blades) with JUST your main pawn as mage. Don’t give her any attack skills. Just lightning affinity, halidom, and maybe celestial paen (celerity if you don’t have it). Put the ring on her that stops all petrification buildup. Halidom should be fine for getting you time to climb Medusa. You should have lightning affinity and speed increase by then. Quaff your savagery extract and then just go to town on her head with carve.

[@madmarduk1936]

There is also a ring that totally stops petrification buildup. I haven’t tested it on Medusa yet but I am pretty sure she is exactly what the ring is in the game for.

[@Manny-Prime]

14 - 15 days on a bench, 5 or 6 if you own a residence. That applies to a majority of the big monsters i believe

[@AstroPinoy]

Took me almost an hour to beat it with an archer vocation, two of my pawns died right away, only me and a level 54 support kindhearted pawn left, I am level 35, the arrow I use is darkening storm with the maxxed out swirling shots, I just hide and wait until the red eye srtop scanning then keep hitting the tail..I cant get the head but I am only after the medusan spell bow, it was very intense but rewarding..

[@N0sdrinker]

I turned a drake to stone and missed out on the upgrade mats😢

[@solidmoon8266]

Easy way to get into the vault at any time is to throw a box at the guard, then grab them while they're staggered, and run all the way up to the kitchen before throwing them, giving you enough time to run inside. Once you're in, you're safe from everything, and can walk out without consequences.

[@xXOryuXx]

you can kill medusa instantly if you put her asleep with sedative arrow(magic archer) and chop off her head directly with slashing damage, earning a preserved head each time

[@Eliilizz108]

Use the thief vocation and use the bolts from the blue daggers. Easy peasy.

[@godslayor150]

Aww man I guess I’ll do this in my new game plus run. I just beat it and didnt even know there was a Medusa in this game wtf

[@celphalonred1999]

The bow is awesome for leveling quickly using it on Warfarer.

[@barbe00brune]

This is really nice thank you, I didnt know about this quest. I already killed Medusa so ill have to wait for it to respawn, but ill be sure to follow your guide!

[@scjarrell]

Using a Magick Archer just put her to sleep with the sleep shot, it only takes a few shots. Then your pawns will run to the head and chop it right off - works every time for me.

[@jonnjericho5780]

Question...is the bow drop one and done or can drop multiple times?

[@drewfoster6138]

I'm doing this tonight. Will let you know

[@HiddenBloodMist]

Any update? I've been trying to get a second myself while working on the badge for it.

[@Crim_Zen]

The guard won't spawn if you are wearing the guard outfit you find in the castle. Also, there is an augment that reduces spoil time that might be useful here.

[@joekupec7893]

Just saying if you have the knight set the people in this area are wearing you can walk everywhere without any problems to get the shield

[@michaelcreech8957]

i just wore the helmet and nothing else and no one gave me any problems in the castle

[@hawkalypse7329]

​@@michaelcreech8957I think I just wore the cape once, might just need one piece or something.

[@N0sdrinker]

Also thief has a stealth makes that area fun

[@chuzzle9592]

If you put the head in storage it doesn't decay, I have a few preserved heads just chilling for the past 4 days

[@NorthWolf97]

Honestly, the easiest and safest way to get a preserved Medusa head is to use Sopfiric arrow on her with Magick archer 3 times which does 0 dmg. And then swap to Great sword and use Indomitable Lash on her head as she sleeps.

[@WitchSmeller74]

If you wait at the ox cart stand instead of a bench, a full day passes, I believe.

[@JustenGC]

you can use the head to stop the Talos Giant waaaay before it does anything too

[@sylentninja1]

You Don't Have to be Quick you just need to remove her head no matter what, the head Decays when you use her Power As her Power is what is keeping the head Still Alive.

[@robpiskulic1443]

Medusa is weak against lighting so get a lighting boon on your weapon and that head will cut clean off quick.

[@Justaveiwerlol]

You can also walk into the vault without using a key or knocking out the guard when diss is in the vault, just don’t get caught idk what happens lol, the guard was standing at the top of the stairs for me so I just walked past and straight into the vault

[@toxicman100]

Wish you could give it to the Black market guy and make it into a trickster weapon with the fake

[@ag3ntoffury836]

The way I did it was using warfarer vocation with soporific shot for the Magic archer and lightning enchanted daggers for the thief

[@phamtomK9]

So if you already did the sculptor quest without even thinking about a Medusa, is there any point in worrying about the quality of the head? So much to this game, never even thought about petrifying the griffon, I just figured I had to kill it slowly.

[@TheMidWave]

It's an insta kill for anything you can get the petrification off on.

[@WoodzyM9]

I didnt know her head decomposed after time so when I went back to freeze her with her own head and it was rotted. So when you get it immediately put it in your storage until you're ready to use it

[@michaelcreech8957]

i didn't realize medusa was a secret boss i just missed i beat the game yesterday and never encountered her once

[@Master_Matoya]

Fr, looking back at it the main story is extremely short compared to the amount of content it throws at you.

[@ozpinoy]

lightning affinity from a mage will make it a breeze.

[@RoleReverse]

That guard was leaving her post when I did that. Weird that everyone I see doing this has her standing there

[@TheGreatAndMightyGoBo]

The funny thing about the vault quest for me is that I didn't even encounter a guard I was just exploring around and I was like a vault why is this unguarded,broke in with the vault key and got a bunch of good loot had a really low level

[@RaidenKaiser]

The bow is not worth the exp boost. It's quadrupled stamina cost which makes it so you can never actually take advantage of the exp boost unless you run solo or fight trash you can one shot cuz your pawns will be stealing all your kills.

[@zacharylong1954]

It’s actually a good bow, no issues with it for me, also gave it to my pawn and they’ve out leveled me

[@RaidenKaiser]

@@zacharylong1954 for me it would drain my entire stamina bar using a single barrage arrow i honestly hate it. I find it much more efficient to just equip the sphynx ring and kill things faster with other weapons that dont have the stamina penalty.
