God of War[]

As Kratos reached Athens, he eventually comes across an astral of the Goddess of Love; Aphrodite. She offers him a weapon that could freeze enemies in their tracks, and all Kratos had to do was kill Medusa by cutting off her head. Medusa fights by whipping her tail, using her razor sharp claws, and her most dangerous weapon, her stare, which turns people to stone, and die instantly should Kratos be elevated from the ground, or get hit by anything. After Kratos manage to severely injure Medusa, he grabbed onto Medusa and ripped her head off, granting him the ability of the Medusa Stare.

God of War II[]

Even though Medusa doesn't appear in God of War II, her sister; Euryale makes an appearance. Euryale both seeks the Sisters of Fate to reverse time to the death of her sister, as well as seek revenge for the death of her sister. But due to Euryale getting killed by Kratos as well, Medusa wasn't revived.
