WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Farm the Gorgons for Stonebinder Cuffs
The three Gorgons at the entrance to the Pythian Caves, east of the Parnassus portal beyond the monster war camps; special Gorgons also appear in the Minoan Labyrinth.
Before you go
- Reach the Parnassus area and the Pythian Caves approach in Greece.
- Unlock Epic or Legendary if seeking the higher difficulty version.
- Bring defenses for the Gorgons’ mixed elemental and control attacks.
- Leave space for green armor drops.
Farming steps
- Travel to the Parnassus portal and follow the route east past the monster war camps.
- Reach the Pythian Caves entrance, where Medusa, Euryale and Sstheno fight together.
- Focus Euryale first so her healing does not prolong the trio fight.
- Defeat Sstheno next, then finish Medusa while avoiding her petrification attack.
- Inspect green bracers for Stonebinder Cuffs and compare the difficulty’s skill bonus.
- If the encounter is not available for another pass, clear special Gorgons in the Minoan Labyrinth as an alternate source.
- Keep a useful pair, then reset the session or area and repeat the available source.
- The cited guide lists +1, +2 and +3 skills for Normal, Epic and Legendary versions respectively; confirm the item tooltip in your edition.
- Prioritize resistance and safe positioning so control effects do not turn each clear into a costly attempt.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable through reset encounters and Gorgon packs; the cuffs have a low but meaningful chance and are not guaranteed.
Common mistakes
- Ignoring Euryale’s healing: eliminate her first to reduce the length of the trio fight.
- Farming Normal when specifically seeking the higher skill bonus: unlock and target Epic or Legendary as appropriate.
- Assuming every green bracer is the MI: check the item name and skill bonus.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you find cuffs with the skill bonus your build needs, or when the higher difficulty encounter is too costly for your current gear.
