So You Think You Can Petrify Medusa? Your Guide to the Snakelocked Showdown in Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Ah, Medusa. The OG hair goals with a side of stone-cold stare. Conquering this mythical migraine-inducer is a rite of passage in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, but getting to her lair is less "hero's journey" and more "IKEA furniture assembly meltdown." Fear not, demigod wannabes! This guide will have you dodging petrified tourists and wrangling snakes like a pro.
How To Get Medusa Quest Ac Odyssey |
First Stop: Lesbos, But Not for the Beaches (Although, Maybe Pack a Swimsuit, We Won't Judge)
Head to the lovely isle of Lesbos. Forget romancing Sappho (though, hey, no discrimination here), you've got a Gorgon to slay. Look for the quest "Romancing the Stone Garden" in the town of Eresos. A lovelorn lass named Bryce needs your help finding her petrified beau who got a little too close to the Petrified Temple. Dramatic, much?

Bryce and the Temple of Doom (Don't Worry, It's Not That Bad)
Bryce will lead you on a merry chase through the Petrified Forest (shocking, we know). You'll need to clear out some mooks and follow her increasingly frantic pleas. Warning: This is where the "fun" part begins. You'll need to complete a series of fetch quests scattered across the Aegean like rogue olives.
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.![]()
Prepare for:
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.![]()
- "Hard to Artemis" - Involves retrieving a spear from a grumpy hunter who'd rather keep it than, you know, help slay a mythical beast. Expect some "spirited negotiation" (read: fisticuffs).
- "Heavy is the Spear" - Because apparently, metaphors are lost on some people. You'll need to find a hidden vault for another key piece. Think Indiana Jones...light on the fedora.
- A Bunch of Other Errands - Brace yourself for enough side quests to make your head spin faster than Medusa herself.
Pro Tip: Stock up on patience and maybe some ibuprofen.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.![]()
The Grand Finale: The Petrified Temple and Medusa's Hideous Hair Day
Once you have all the doodads, return to the Petrified Temple. Remember that key you just retrieved? Shove it in the giant snake-head lock (subtlety is not Medusa's strong suit). Now, get ready for the main event!
Boss Battle: Brace yourself for a fight that'll make you wish you packed some Medusa-proof sunglasses. Dodge her stone-eyed gaze (literally!), avoid her snakey fury, and unleash your inner hero.
Victory Dance: Hopefully, you emerge victorious, not petrified. Now you can loot the legendary spoils of war and bask in the glory of slaying a mythical monster. Just don't get too cocky, there's a whole world of mythical beings out there waiting to be pummeled.
Remember: Patience, perseverance, and maybe a healthy dose of sarcasm are your weapons in this quest. Conquer Medusa, and you'll be a stone-cold legend in no time (see what we did there?).
