It is possible to kill all nine Gorgons at once, though generally only two or three will be destroyed.<ref>'''Reddit''':''[https://www.reddit.com/r/raidsecrets/comments/3e579h/all_gorgons_dead/ All gorgons dead]''</ref> A way to avoid their gaze is to look at the ground until they move on. | If a Gorgon detects a player (this includes shooting at them), the Gorgon will activate "Gorgon's Gaze", and the party has ten seconds before they are all killed instantly.
