You'd think that decapitating Medusa<\/strong> in Dragon's Dogma 2<\/strong><\/u><\/a> would be a relatively simple process\u2014find snake lady's head, chop off snake lady's head\u2014so long as you avoid that whole getting turned to stone thing. But if you've already killed Medusa, you were likely surprised that you couldn't just loot her head, or slice it off after the fact with a simple swing of your sword.<\/p>\n

No, getting the Medusa Head is a feat of Monster Hunter-esque complexity as you only have a specific opportunity with which to claim her noggin. Down below I explain the process in-depth, offer some tips for the fight, plus explain how to use the head to petrify stuff. Obviously, there are spoilers for the Medusa in this guide<\/strong> and you should probably stop reading now if you want to learn this stuff yourself.<\/p>\n

The first step in decapitating Medusa is getting a big sword, and that means switching to the <\/strong>Warrior vocation<\/strong><\/a>. If you haven't already unlocked it, you'll have to complete the Vocation Frustration quest at the guild in Vernworth. It's possible that a Thief, Fighter, or Mystic Spearhand would also work for this, since they all have bladed weapons, but Warrior is the only one I can 100% confirm works.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Your next step is heading to the Caliginous Depths<\/strong> cave in the south of Battahl, to the southwest of the capital of Bakbattahl, where the Medusa makes her lair. The fight itself is relatively easy provided you watch out for when she activates her petrifying gaze. Her eyes will glow red, and at that point you should get behind a pillar to break line of sight and give your <\/strong>pawns<\/strong><\/a> the “To me!” command so they shelter with you<\/strong> as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It might also be worth bringing some Panacea<\/strong> and a pawn with the Chirurgeon specialisation to use on any other Pawns who get petrified. You could also give your main pawn the Ring of Motility<\/strong> if you have it, which prevents petrification entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now all that's covered, here's the exact process for beheading Medusa:<\/p>\n
