Behavior

Stheno is only vulnerable for short periods during her standby and dagger attack phases, and for a longer time during her blind and bomb spam phase. She alternately shoots daggers in every direction while staying still, spawns numerous snakes with high HP, and shoots omni-directional blind orbs while firing multiple red grenades like the normal Medusa. Her fast-moving minions surrounding her make her an even tougher challenge.

Tips and Strategies

The optimal place to be is inside the ring the fast-circling guardians make, constantly moving to avoid their shots and slow effect. Avoid the direct diagonals of Stheno, as that is where she will fire the heavy-damage bolts towards. Don't try to kill her little friends, they take longer to kill than Stheno, and respawn immediately. She is most vulnerable during the blind and bomb spam phase, but this is also the most dangerous time to stay in range. To do this phase, shift a little bit in one direction when she attacks, but try to only move in one direction.
