Sanitori - Medusas Cave

NOTE: This is an older area report and the information may no longer be 100% accurate.

AREA: Santorini- Medusa's Cave

DIRECTIONS: Town Portals to S. Isle Landing, East to S. Isle Landing East, North to S. Isle Isthmus, North and take the boat to Santorini Isle, Follow East following the shoreline and you will see a cave.

TESTED WITH: Sterling Lvl 40+ Wizard/PM/DD and Friend (Thx Tib)

NOTES:

I'd suggest not soloing this, the boss has a stone gaze which seems to last forever. I would also pick up a few Medusa's Cures from Thralia in town.

When you enter this cave it looks empty. However, there are lots of statues about, which will break open to reveal an encounter...


 * Medusa Guardian (CR 65): These guys cast IGMMs, are somewhat resistant to physical attacks, have a decent melle attack (Caster's use your shields), and sneak. IGMMS, Ice Storm, and Horrid were easy enough to use, grapple works as well on these if you can beat their spell resistance.


 * Medusa (CR 100): She is resistant to Acid, Cold, Fire, and Electrical, has a sneak attack, stone gazes you, and can be found wandering around the cave. She has decent spell resistance therefore cast Mords or Grt. Spell Breach on her initially then cast lvl 9 grapple. After that you can pick her off with IGMMs or your archers (I'd suggest sonic in your arrows).

LOOT:

Medusa drops a key to the chest that is in the cave, as well as you get to keep her ugly HEAD: which can cast stoneskin 1xday. In the chest you will find some arrows, a MINONAN HELM: 15/15/15 physical resistances, MINONAN ARMOUR: +3 Soak 15, and 30 Bludge Resist, and a MINONAN SHIELD: +5 AC, SR 18.
