There are many bosses that you will encounter while exploring the vast world of Dragon’s Dogma 2. Medusa, in Greek mythology, is a woman with a head full of snakes that turns anyone to stone. Players encounter Medusa as the first major boss while trying to run away in the prologue.
The huge snake can be fought a second time inside a hidden cave in Battahl. You will need to travel far to reach Medusa’s lair, but the reward will be worth it. Here's how players can find Medusa and get Medusa's head in Dragon's Dogma 2.
Dragon's Dogma 2: Best Weapons For Thieves (& Where To Find Them)
Thieves may excel in performing fancy trickery and delivering swift blows, but they still need proper weapons to defeat bosses in Dragon's Dogma 2.
Where To Find Medusa In Dragon’s Dogma 2
Medusa in Dragon's Dogma 2 can be found in the Nera’Battahl Windrift cave, in the western parts of Battahl. To easily reach the cave from Bakbattahl, head to the capital’s western entrance and climb the stairs to the upper hill. Use the wheel to call the moving cart and use it to reach Batthal Ropeway Central Station.
Once you reach the station, there will be four moving carts that take you to various places in Battahl. Head to the one located south, which takes you closer to the base of the southern mountains. Climb down from the Batthal Ropeway Station Four, walk back, and take the other road, then go to the right when you reach a crossroad. Finally, keep walking until you reach another crossroad and enter the cave hidden by fallen trees to find Medusa.
How To Get Medusa Head In Dragon’s Dogma 2
To get 
Medusa Head in Dragon's Dogma 2, you need to target the head while fighting her. Thief is the best Vocation for the task due to the quick slashes made by the daggers.
The quality of Medusa's head depends on the health she has before you sever it. Cutting Medusa's head around her first health bar will yield the Preserved Medusa Head, while doing it after her first health bar is gone will grant you the normal Medusa Head. Meanwhile, if you cut her head when she's dying, you'll get the Withered version of the head.
Dragon's Dogma 2 Vocations like Sorcerer, Mage, and Trickster won’t be able to sever the head as they don’t attack with weapons, but with spells. While a Sorcerer may be able to burn Medusa to a crisp, her head will stay attached to her body, locking players from obtaining a powerful item.
Once you collect Medusa’s head, you can now use it to easily kill enemies as powerful as Drakes. However, make sure to use it immediately or Medusa’s head will rot away and disappear forever. Therefore, if Arisen wants to keep the head of a specific enemy, store the Dragon's Dogma 2 item away until it's needed. Additionally, after a few days, Medusa will respawn in the same cave, so you can kill it again and get the head.
