- Not to be confused with Medusa Familiar.
The Summon Medusa spell will summon a giant Medusa Head to aid the protagonist. It will then send out eye beams or her snake hair.
Game specific information[]
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night[]
In Symphony of the Night, this spell can be performed by using the Medusa Shield's combo spell with the Shield Rod or the Mablung Sword. It costs 30 MP to cast. A medusa head will spawn behind Alucard and shoot two beams with very slight homing capabilities. This beam only deals damage and does not petrify.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin[]
Summon Medusa is one of Charlotte Aulin's magic spell skills in Portrait of Ruin. The beams fired by the summoned entity, known as the "eye of petrification", will petrify their targets.
Interestingly enough, the head summoned appears to be that of Medusa herself and not a simple Medusa Head, which are in turn born from Medusa's hair.
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair[]
Soma Cruz can gain this ability by absorbing the soul of a Retro Queen Medusa. An 8-bit Queen Medusa from the original Castlevania game will appear in the background. It doesn't damage enemies itself, but it radiates many of her hair snakes out into the foreground, which land on the ground slither around on the ground damaging enemies until they disappear.
