Can Medusa really only be found in this one spot?

[Arthur Morrigan]

I found her in Caliginous Depths a while back and then left because I didn't want to deal with her then. Now I'm trying to find her and she's just not there. I've been resting at the nearby campsite over and over and she's yet to respawn.

Putting her on a 14 day respawn timer seems kind of obscene. I was kind of hoping that me not killing her the first time I found her meant that she wouldn't just be missing for no apparent reason.

Yeah it's just that one spot. As to why it'd be gone even though you didn't kill it, I couldn't say. I've killed it multiple times and it never seemed like it took too long to respawn. Maybe try coming back later instead of camping near it?

[Arthur Morrigan]

Anyone have any insight on how respawning enemies works? Do they not respawn if you're resting too close?

its weird, many guides say its respawn timer is 1 week after its killed , not 2.
and i killed it thrice that way. a week after week and a week

why some of you say its 2weeks idk.

it can also spawn in the endgame in one spot but htats it

I probably also have a special version of the game because the Medusa respawned after sleeping 3 days for me. I did this over and over again for the badge.

It is 3-4 day respawn for Medusa preserved. I haven't beaten the game yet 183.8hrs farming stuff. I swear it actually takes 72 hours I tried to time it but I wasn't perfect, kind of hard to be exact...

[Arthur Morrigan]

Got it to respawn by leaving and resting at an inn.

Medusa respawn depends whenever you cut her head or not.
If you're farming for badges kill her without cutting her head as doing so makes the timer longer.

I don't think so. And some monsters don't seem to spawn at all if you're resting too close to their spawn. There is a Dullahan spawn next to the camp outside of the Nameless Village. I ran into it early game and died. I tried to go back and rest there, getting it to spawn again and it didn't until i went further away across the river and then came back. Before that i had waited at the spawn point all night and nothing happened.

I'm still learning about the different head types myself, i cut her head off last night when i had her health bar down to almost zero and i got a withered head, so it didn't last long.

Thankfully she does respawn like most other big monster enemies.

EDIT: oh right, sorry, so according to Polygon (i think it was Polygon) it takes 14 in-game days for a headless Medusa to respawn.

Jesus christ how much do I have to slash at her head to get it to come off. I'm using a cutlass with the ring that basically turns off my damage, and she's halfway through her first health bar and her head ain't coming off.

aim for neck or face, for my lv70 thief it takes 2 full skullsplitter and a gut and run, but you probably only going to recieve half decayed withered head if you dont have ring of defusion or whatever it was called.

You want lightning damage buff to cut her head in better condition(or at all), so get a pawn mage with lightning buff, it wasn't hard at all from what I remember, through did it late only for achievement and 1 quest.

[Arthur Morrigan]

My pawn keeps deciding the best strategy when she starts trying to petrify him is to run directly up to her face and then stand there until he dies.
