Talk:Medusa

Overpowered
These feel a little bit overpowered :/ honest opinion. Being unable to fight back at the beginning with such low armor rating makes these completely impossible to combat. 86.140.228.101 14:15, 2 July 2015 (UTC)Snake


 * I agree. Getting petrified when over lava or over great heights is an instant-kill with no way to see it coming and now way out. 134.76.63.1 21:23, 4 July 2015 (UTC)


 * To be honest the mechanism of Medusa needs to be rework or need to have some accessories or potions to avoid this stoned debuff. You could receive about 200 damage from getting stoned when doing a normal double jump, which could easily kill any player in pre-hardmode, and hurt hardmode player badly. It is really not a good game mechanism if you have no way to dodge some kind of attacks. Well, technically you could dodge by not facing Medusa when it performs attack, but i dont believe it make sense when you are facing a large number of mobs, not mentioning it could petrify you even if it just spawns outside the screen


 * Many of us have died to the Medusa, and most of those deaths weren't exactly fair. Some of these things, like the increased fall damage, may even be bugs. Unfortunately, the developers don't read this wiki, so to both the above posters and any other disgruntled statues who may come here to complain, please send your concerns to the PC support forums. The developers have been releasing small patches pretty frequently and are listening to all the feedback they receive- but they can't answer it if they can't see it.

Disables Lucky Horseshoe
It seems to disable Lucky Horseshoe completely, can anyone confirm this? TheParad0xZ (talk) 18:32, 3 July 2015 (UTC)


 * It does. if you read the page, it says "The stoned debuff will disable any fall-protecting items you have equipped." CursedInferno (talk) 19:07, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Notes and Bugs
The Bug listed on this page, and all but one of the Notes, seem like they're more appropriate to be placed on the article for the Stoned debuff, rather than here. --timrem (talk) 17:12, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

are we sure about the line of sight note? i've been out of line of sight and not gotten hit despite still technically facing her general direction

Chlorophyte bullets
"Yoyos, the Magic Missile, and the Flying Knife make great weapons against Medusa as they can be used from behind,"

What about chlorophyte bullets? they swerve round and home in on enemies. why is it not there?
