Can you get the medusa head in pre-hardmode?

[Azurian]

edit: talking about the new update, I know it was previously possible but is it still possible even though the medusa head is now considered a hardmode weapon?


Mystery solved.

Additional data here;
2600 statue medusas, pre-hardmode. Nothing but banners. Not even mana stars when I ran out of mana.
Statue monsters appear to have alterred loot pools. Alterred in the way of having items removed. However, before 1.3.1, I was getting things like depth meters from statue bats.

That is what I have done I the last two addresses.

Then why are you getting a different url?

The first was the image's url, the other two were the urls for the image's item page.

Thanks a lot for testing! <3
It's a shame they changed the statue mobs' loot pools :\

Wait what other statues got changed besides that and critters? I got shark fins and diving helmets just fine...

Some statues have better lootpools than others. That much I know... Also, I get granet and night vision from golem statues.

Wiki says the following:

Medusa Statues can still spawn Medusas pre-Hardmode.
Doesn't drop Items when killed by traps.
Usual drop rates lowered.

So... Yes, it seems like you can still get the head at a reduced rate, provided you're not using lava or dart traps to kill her. The base drop rate of the head is 1%, lowered when using statues to spawn her.

I could defenetly do that, without being a statue 75% of the time; same room, no traps, the twins x2... whenever I get to it...

Crimson rod, summons (for afk), platforms over the top of the medusa's heads to prevent stoning, rain death from above with grenades, arrows, whatever you're feelin'.

Wait say that again

Well that's crap. Still you could just damage them with traps, then deal the killing blow yourself.

Also I figured the drop rate went down. I've killed like 80 of the suckers in the wild and got bupkus.

Not sure what the killing blow percentage of my twins were, but every medusa in my experiment was injured in some way by a spikey ball.

500 medusas, all from statues, per-hard normal mode, all only harmed by my minions. Nothing but banners were dropped.

Guys! I tested it right now, spawned them from statue and farmed with minions, here are the results:
1500 Medusa on pre-hardmode, only banners
200 Medusa on hardmode, banners + 1 head
So i guess it only drops when hardmode, that's my conclusion.
