 Once the enemy's HP is below your Death Gaze percentage, attacking them with melee will cause your damage to be exactly the HP required to instantly kill them.  The Death Gaze percentage and resulting damage is unaffected by resistances.  This damage may be lower than your actual current Attack, so keep this in mind for increasing the Damage score in Ranked games—though this often won't matter so much with the Gorgon's low Damage Bonus.
-You do not have First Strike, unlike enemy Gorgons.  The petrification on kill counts towards [[The Earthmother|The Earthmother's]] reward, but it does not count towards any Score rewards.  However, since all enemies you kill will be petrified, you may have to use ENDISWAL a lot: plan for this extra mana cost requirement, and note that the Earthmother will punish you for using it if you choose her.  And remember that the Gorgon only starts with Physical Resistance: [[Dragonspawn]], [[Warlock]]s and [[Wraith]]s will still do full damage to you.

-Since the Gorgon starts with an extra Glyph, Death Gaze caps at 40% when all Glyphs on the map have been converted; if Glyphs are available from shops, it can go higher.  This means that you can kill a boss which would otherwise outlast you by taking it down to less than 40% health and then converting all of your glyphs; this can be especially helpful when you have to face bosses that are immune to Poison, as in the [[Crypt]].
