 Where the death gaze of gorgons becomes truly dangerous is when fighting ''lower-level'' opponents.  Because the gorgon has first strike, a 1st level gorgon can potentially kill a high-level adventurer if you're below half-health.  The best way to deal with such gorgons is to slow them with {{s|WEYTWUT}}, {{s|WONAFYT}} or use {{boon|Entanglement}}.  This will disable their {{t|First Strike}} and allow you to clean them up without risking death gaze attacks.  The {{c|Assassin}} is also useful in this regard, since his swift hands ability ignores first strike.

 If you cannot slow a gorgon, the best course of action is to try to kill them while you're at high-health to avoid their death gaze.  This is especially important for users of {{i|Platemail}}, who likely won't even take damage from a very low-level foe but are very vulnerable to death gaze.
