Well, it could mean a couple different things, depending on the context. Where did you see it?

In the case of enemy Gorgons, if one "Petrifies" you, that means it insta-kills you when its attack hits, provided your health is below the indicated threshold.

For the player monster-class, I think it just means that all enemies you kill become 'statues' or walls. I can't remember if the player-gorgon's Petrify also makes some gold appear beneath the enemy statue or not; I think not, but I'm not sure. Can someone else answer this?

Using the glyph 'Imawal' also makes enemies turn into statues/walls, which have 1 gold beneath them (or 2, if you use the preparation that makes all gold piles worth 1 more gold).

So petrify is just basically insta death from death gaze or using imawal..?

What do you mean by player monster-class?

Instant death from enemies having death-gaze if your health is below a certain percentage.

You can use Imawal to petrify regular enemies, turning them into stone and gaining 50% xp bonus for your next kill.

There is a monster class called Gorgon which you can unlock and use and she basically petrifies all enemies when she kills them.

So do you gain 50% more experience than the monster you KILL, or 50% more experience than the monster you petrified? Because the achievement says "petrify an enemy then earn more than double ITS experience", where-as the glyph makes it sound like you get 50% more exp than the monster you KILL. Which makes a huge difference. If I petrify a level 9 monster and kill a level 1 monster I doubt the game will give me 50% more exp than I'd get for the level 9 kill. The achievement wording is confusing. :steamfacepalm:

The achievement is a challenge, not a description.

You're correct that 50% extra on 1 experience (which is promptly rounded down) would not get you the achievement. That's very much the point that the achievement is set up to get you to think about.
