Our Dragon’s Dogma 2 Medusa’s head guide will show you where to find a Medusa (and how often she’ll spawn) and the best vocation to use to claim her head.
A Medusa Head is a powerful item in Dragon’s Dogma 2 that lets you inflict the petrification effect on almost any enemy — including drakes and griffins (like for the “A Case of Sculptor’s Block” quest). Medusa Heads come from, unsurprisingly, a Medusa, so you’ll have to find one.
Our Dragon’s Dogma 2 guide will show you where to find a Medusa (and how often she’ll spawn). We’ll also tell you how to cut off the Medusa’s head and how to get a Preserved Medusa Head.Before you try to find the the Medusa, switch to Thief
Before we get into where to find the Medusa, you’ll need to do a little prep work. Cutting off the Medusa’s head means you’ll have to play as a melee vocation like a Thief or Fighter since you have to, you know, cut. Mages and Archers just won’t deal the right kind of damage here. They can kill the Medusa, but she doesn’t drop her head as loot — you have to actively cut it off.
And since weapons are tied to vocation, Thief is easily the best vocation to do this for a couple of reasons:
The Vigor augment reduces your stamina loss when clinging to an enemy
The Powder Charge and Powder Blast skills allow you to plant an explosive on the Medusa’s head that will stun her
The Gut and Run and Draw and Quarter weapon skills are both great for dealing a huge amount of targeted damage
Technically, you can do all this as a Warfarer, but you’ll be so Thief-focused that there’s not much difference. Where to find the Medusa in Dragon’s Dogma 2
Medusa was the first monster you fought way back at the beginning of the game in the Excavation Site.
