Medusa is one of the bosses in Castle Crashers. She has snakes for 'hair' and being caught in her stare will cause you to turn to stone.

[edit] Involvement

After fighting your way through the Flooded Temple you'll end up on the path to Medusa's Lair. Guarded by Snakeys and Fish Warriors. While she doesn't seem to prove any real threat to the King or the Princesses it seems she's just blocking the only path to the Ice Castle. So we have to take her down. Upon encountering her you'll see her brushing her hair, singing a tune, looking kind of lonely. Aww. Then she turns and looks at you and begins to attack.

[edit] Strategy

Continue fighting your way through more fish and forest knights, and eventually you'll find Medusa combing her hair. Medusa's not too hard once you find a rhythm. Get right up close to her and hold the block button, this will protect you from the snapping snake on her head. As soon as the snake snaps at you and you block it, perform a combo on her then go back to blocking. Move with your up and down the screen. After every snake snap, go for a combo other attack. Keep your attacks to a short burst and return to blocking to anticipate the next snap. Keep this routine up and Medusa will be as good as dead in no time. After you've killed her, quickly pick up her weapon, the Buster Sword. You only have about 5 seconds to get it before the level ends.

[edit] Quotes

"La La La La La- La La La- La La Laaaaa."

[edit] Trivia

  • In Greek mythology, Medusa was a gorgon, a chthonic monster; making eye contact with her would turn the person to stone.
  • It seems this is a teenage Medusa considering a fancy fur boot and an obsession with beauty.  This may also be a reference to Medusa's great beauty before being transformed into a Gorgon.
