Gorgons are another returning enemy for Kratos to battle in the game, with a slightly different appearance. They have a few attacks that you need to watch out for, including a strike with their claws, followed by a smash with their tail; this happens if you're too close. It can also do a 360 degree tail sweep, as well as the standard beam that can turn you into stone. If you're far away, it may slither along the ground and grab you, making you mash L1 and R1 to break free.
If you see a white halo, you can grapple the Gorgon to make it release a blast that will petrify all of the enemies in the vicinity. If you see a red halo, then you can grapple it to start a two-stage mini-game where you need to dodge attacks, while hitting it with Square and Triangle. If you're successful, then you will kill the Gorgon, yielding Red and Blue Orbs.
