How to Beat Gorgon Mini-Boss Strategy

Master the Gorgon mini-boss fight in God of War Trilogy Remake. Learn its weaknesses, attack patterns, and the best strategies to overcome this challenging encounter and progress through the game.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Weakness: Eyes (when exposed), vulnerable after certain attacks.
• Resistances: Petrifying gaze can stun Kratos.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: The Gorgon primarily uses its petrifying gaze and quick melee swipes. Dodge the gaze by rolling to the side and block or dodge its physical attacks.
2. Phase 2: The Gorgon becomes more aggressive, chaining attacks and using its gaze more frequently. Look for openings after its lunging attacks or when it recovers from its gaze.

Strategy:

• Dodge the Gaze: The most crucial part of this fight is avoiding the Gorgon's petrifying gaze. Roll sideways just as it begins to emit the beam.
• Punish Openings: After the Gorgon finishes its gaze attack or a lunging strike, you'll have a brief window to attack. Use Kratos's Blades of Chaos or Blades of Athena for quick damage.
• Utilize Magic: If you have magic like Poseidon's Rage or Zeus's Fury, use them during openings to deal significant damage and stun the Gorgon.
• Guard and Counter: For its melee attacks, blocking can be effective, but dodging is generally safer. Immediately counter-attack after a successful dodge.
• Target the Eyes: When the Gorgon is stunned or recovering, focus your attacks on its eyes to deal critical damage.
