|---|---|
| Petrification Immunity | Completely immune to petrification effects. |

The Gorgon race is an excellent choice for players who frequently encounter petrification or poison effects in their adventures, and for those specializing in piercing damage builds.
Gorgon Race Rarity and Acquisition
The Gorgon race is classified as an Epic rarity. This means it's rarer than Common, Uncommon, and Rare races, but not as scarce as Legendary or Mythical options. While the exact roll chance can vary, it typically sits around 3%. Rerolling your character's facial features as a Gorgon will only change the skin color, as all Gorgons inherently possess vertical pupils.
Conquering the Medusa Raid for Gorgon Rewards
The Medusa raid is a critical activity for any player looking to acquire Gorgon-related items in Clover Retribution. This raid boss is a formidable opponent, but with the right strategy, you can efficiently farm its valuable drops.
Medusa Raid Requirements and Mechanics
To challenge Medusa, you must reach level 225. However, only the party leader needs to meet this requirement; other party members can join regardless of their level. The raid offers three difficulties: Easy, Medium, and Hard.
| Difficulty | HP (Approx.) | Drop Rate Increase |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | 40,000 | None |
| Medium | 100,000 | None |
| Hard | 180,000 | None |
Medusa's damage output does not significantly change across difficulties, and more importantly, drop rates are not increased on harder difficulties. Therefore, it is highly recommended to stick to Easy mode to save time and resources.
Medusa has four primary attacks:
- Threat-based Arrow: Targets the player with the highest threat, can pass through walls. Dodge or use Divine Restriction (DR) builds to avoid explosion damage.
- AoE Scream: Deals 400-500 damage. Dodge about half a second after the red circle fills.
- Rain of Arrows: Arrows fall in a small area. Move out of the circle or tank the damage while continuing to attack.
- Petrifying Gaze: Medusa glows purple and screams. If your character is facing her, you will be petrified for about 7 seconds. Look away to avoid this stun.
Medusa will dive underground and change locations approximately every 40 seconds, moving between eight random spots.
Medusa Raid Strategy and Efficient Farming
Efficiently clearing the Medusa raid requires understanding her movement patterns and exploiting certain mechanics. While she moves frequently, a "cheese" method can significantly speed up your runs.
Optimal Builds and Cheese Method
For mage players, Dark, Blood, or a good Fourleaf Flame/Wind build are effective. Otherwise, a Divine Restriction (DR) build offers the easiest time due to extended dodge invulnerability frames.
The Medusa Reset Cheese: This method allows you to prevent Medusa from moving around the map, saving valuable time.
Initiate the Raid
Start the Medusa raid on Easy difficulty.
Observe Medusa's Dive
When Medusa dives underground to change locations (approximately every 40 seconds), pay close attention.
Trigger Reset (Solo)
If playing solo, reset your character as soon as she dives. This will cause her to reappear in the middle of the arena.
Trigger Reset (Party)
In a party, have all members reset their characters simultaneously as she dives. She will then reappear in the middle.
Repeat and Farm
Continue this process. This completely skips the chase phase, allowing for much faster raid clears. You are limited by your five lives per raid.
This cheese method may be patched in future updates. It is advisable to utilize it while it is still functional to gather desired Gorgon tokens and materials.
Gorgon Drops and Crafting Essentials
The Medusa raid offers a variety of drops, with Gorgon tokens being the primary motivation for many players. These tokens are essential for crafting high-tier gear.
