Medusa head is a single use Item?

[FattBoy]

I use it before fight a boss on A case of Sculptor block quest. when I try to use it it switch to my lamp and disappear instead. is this happen to anyone?

Yes and has 1 day of decay on your inventory if you wasted it already you will have to wait until Medua respawn to kill her again and get a new head.

Afaik if you get a preserved head it lasts longer and has more uses. Need to chop it off while Medusa is still on the first 2 health bars.
It'll also won't rot if you put it in storage.

Sorcerer augment which slows item decay rate too, not sure how much

If you explore the Wall Picture and Books Lorewise, you keep cutting her by the neck

Yeah, just jump on her head with a thief and wail at it. Make pawns stand down with the command so they don't damage her.
I also recommend wearing the petrify immunity ring.

Of you put her to sleep, any slashing weapon will instantly kill her and give you the preserved medusa head

As others said - there are tiers to it based on how much health Medusa had when you decapitate her.

Preserved being the best - and requiring less than 1 or 2 health-bars to be removed during the decapitation attempt. For memes - I also tried brandishing the head and petrified a medusa as she was attempting the same on me (had the ring) and it doesn't seem to recoup the head or anything (figured it was worth checking out).

Also - fun fact is that Magic Archer has a skill for items to degrade slower. I don't know the exact rate, but it allowed me to petrify the Griffin, Medusa, and wield it a little while staying "preserved" until post-game where it auto-decays.

Thats a sorceror augment, not magic archer. However, being an augment, once you unlock it any vocation can use it.

Use Magik Archer skill to put to sleep like he said, and just one shot chop the head with daggers or a sword

Of course, you can also use the Magic Archer to put the Gryphon to sleep until the sculptor says he has enough sketches.
