Gorgon
The Gorgon is Ice and Fire’s snake-haired guardian of the Gorgon Temple. Looking at it turns a player into a stone statue. Act II's Ice and Fire branch has an optional quest to find the temple and kill its Gorgon.
Spawning#
The Gorgon lives in the Gorgon Temple, which generates on Overworld beaches.
Gaze#
A player who looks at the Gorgon is turned to stone. The Gorgon checks for Blindness before using its gaze, so fighting it while blinded is the usual counter.
Caution
Being turned to stone is fatal. Look away from the Gorgon or fight it under Blindness.
Stats#
The Gorgon has no level setting, so its level matches the Soulrend level of the nearest player (see Mob Levels). Its health comes from Ice and Fire’s config (100).
| Stat | Base | Act I (10) | Act II (40) | Act III (100) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Health | 100 HP | 370 HP | 1,270 HP | 3,070 HP |
| Attack damage | 3 | 5.7 | 14.7 | 32.7 |
| Armor | 1 | 1.1 | 1.4 | 2.1 |
| Movement speed | 0.25 |
Drops#
Soulrend replaces the Gorgon’s loot table: it always drops one Witherbone, and nothing else. Ice and Fire’s Gorgon Head can’t be obtained in Soulrend.
