Is someone able to gift a intact Medusa head?

[RedMenace]

Tried to chop the head off but it wouldn't work, is there something I'm missing?

[Fried Noodles]

You're missing the head/neck.

use lightning affinity- it will make things 100% easier.

Your damage need to be higher than certain treshold. I don't remember exact number, but if you use daggers with innate electric affinity(full dwarven forged + wyrmfire) hit her head with them and you will cut it off quikly. It worked for me everytime. Before that i actually tryed to do with lowes damage and weren't able to even cut of her head before all hp drained. Alternatively you can topple her with ensnare and use overhead warrior slash, it can cutt off her read instantly.

If you are a warfarer, straight up use Sedative bolt on one of the special skill slots,put the medusa to sleep, might take 2 or 3 bolts. When its sleeping, swap to thief blades, start stabbing right at the head and it will come off easily with preserved. If you are not a warfarer, thief is probably the best option, just climb up to its head and start stabbing until it comes off

(I had Heaven's Key blades and a Magick Archer bow weap both upgraded to its fullest with Dragonforge)

can confirm that this method works.... had thief pawn that decapitated it before I could switch weapons though.... head still dropped fully preserved...

there is a campsite nearby you can use to switch skills without camping... just cant change vocations at camp.... so stick to warfarer before heading there and swap out 2 skills at the camp when you cleared the area of enemies for the weapon switch skill and sleep bolt from magic archer.... then can go in and beat her quick and easy.... grab head... step outside and ferrystone to your home and put the preserved head in storage till you wanna use it.... it doesnt decay in storage... but will over time if your carrying it...

preserved medusa head will drop when not even 1 bar of health has been dealt.
so easiest way to do it is with magick archer's sedative/sopoforic bolt.
then use a slash attack to hit the head. either you or your pawn

[Rodi]

Just use ring of derision (from the Sphinx's riddles) and keep using basic slashing attacks on her head until she drops on the ground, then wait until the game lets you remove the ring. As soon as you can unequip the ring of derision, do so and keep spamming your basic attack. The head will be removed and preserved, since the Medusa will barely have any damage on her.

You can use magic to but medusa sleep and use lashing attack on head. With this combo medusa dies instantly. With intact head to collect.

How do you swap weapons? It won't let me. I am using Wayfarer.

Either swap them manually in your equipment menu, or use the Warfarer Maister skill Rearmament, which lets you equip multiple weapons and cycle through them by activating the skill.
