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. Even if the players manage to kill the Gorgon within that period of time, the remaining Gorgons become stronger and more perceptive; this means killing them all would be a very difficult strategy. 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.

*The chirps made by the Gorgons occur exactly every second, matching that of a clock hand. These chirps speed up the closer they are to an enemy, however. | *The chirps made by the Gorgons occur exactly every second, matching that of a clock hand.
