Ideal Vocations for Fighting Medusa

To stand a chance against Medusa and secure a preserved Medusa head, consider adopting the Thief, Fighter, or Warrior Vocation. These classes offer slashing weapons essential for the task at hand, with the Thief Vocation being particularly effective. Its agility and sharp weaponry allow for rapid engagement and disengagement, crucial for dodging Medusa’s lethal gaze.

If you have trouble getting big enemies to get knocked down, you should consider taking Warrior. Warrior will be able to knock Medusa to the ground fairly regularly, especially if you’re a very aggressive attacker.
