Medusa in Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

Petrify enemies in front of Rose.

Petrifying Gaze

Medusa waits in Holy Innocents' Cemetery, and you fight her in the Ossuary of the Innocents. The closest Mirror of Life is in the Ancient Sewers.

Beating her earns The Prophetess, number 4 of the Tarot, along with the spell Petrifying Gaze and The Prophetess's Key. Petrifying Gaze costs 75 MP and turns foes standing before Rose to stone.

The spell has 2 Works of Mercy, and finishing one grants a Blessing to spend on a Gift. One asks you to petrify a shield-bearing enemy with the spell; the other asks for 25 kills by fall damage straight after petrifying enemies mid-air. Its Gifts make killing a petrified enemy refund half the spell's cost in mana, and let targets closer to Rose stay petrified longer and need more hits to break. Clues to The Prophetess turn up at Cemetary Fountain in Fountain of the Innocents, Guardian's Gaze in Roman Baths, Roman Baths in Sepulcher of the Knight, and The roots of the Hollow Tree in Pauper's Grave.
