I wonder if Jeff felt the same way (rightfully or wrongly) that it was VERY not to get turned to stone, just don’t look at her. They gave you the screen/shadow to know she was a gorgon. as soon as that happened i started looking straight up. but maybe more people don’t know what a gorgon is that I think and that is the fault of my degree, movie watching, and video game playing....lol.

I didn’t play this last time as retro but I remember playing the first time and if you were intentionally trying Not to look, the Medusa would come up behind you and put her hand on your shoulders or something else similar trying to get you to look

Worth mentioning, Jeff was also out for a large part of last years gencon due to a family tragedy so the run didnt get tuned as much as normal.

Also, why I love the mirrored Archers buckler

True, I was just speaking in general.

Medusa was a terrible idea in general. I know the medusa's first appearance was at least one friend of mine's first and last ever TD appearance. He even told me, before my first TD run, to go get a refund for my ticket because that was so unfair. (Thankfully, I didn't listen.)

All the Medusa does in the long run is teach new players to never look at NPC's.

Yep she was still doing that, it didn’t work on me either.
