Psycho Savager:

There are ten badges (plus one bonus badge) in Desktop Dungeons, each earned by completing the dungeon in a certain way. You must win the dungeon to earn badges; if you retire before defeating all the dungeon bosses you will never earn a badge.

*'''Cheeky''': The first monster you kill must be a higher level than you (easy)
*'''Ding! Max''': Reach level 10 (easy)
*'''Faithless''': Do not worship any gods (medium)
*'''Feeling Parched''': Do not drink health or mana potions (other potions are okay; medium)
*'''Hoarder''': Never convert any item (using Wizard.exe subdungeon is okay; hard)
*'''Miser''': Do not purchase items from shops (the Translocation seal is okay; medium)
*'''Purist''': Do not use any preparations except basic potion loadout, or the Vicious Token (hard)
*'''Specialist''': Kill the last boss using either magical or physical damage, but not both (medium)
*'''Unstoppable''': Kill all main dungeon monsters (level 8 or higher) without using petrification (medium)
*'''Warmonger''': Never use a glyph skill (converting is okay; very hard)
*'''Vicious''': Complete the dungeon run with the Vicious Token prepared (very hard)

Some badges may be more difficult or less difficult on certain levels. For instance, it's nearly impossible to complete the Naga City dungeon without reaching level 10 and earning the Ding! Max badge, while achieving a specialist victory against the wide array of bosses present on that level will be exceptionally challenging.

On most scenarios, every single badge is attainable. You will earn a small amount of gold when you first obtain a badge on a dungeon, and afterwards they aren't worth anything except the personal pride of having overcome the dungeon with accolades.

{{t|First strike}} {{t|Death-gaze}} 50%

}}</onlyinclude>{{Stub}}

The Gorgon is one of the few monsters in the game to use the {{t|Death-gaze}} special. If your health is below 50%, a Gorgon's attack causes instant death (though {{t|Death Protection}} can still save you). However, this is not as dangerous as it first appears. Higher level gorgons are already very likely to deal more than half your health in a single attack, and effectively gain no benefit from their death gaze. By preying on their generally low durability, this makes them prime targets for bonus experience. Only characters with extreme durability (such as Monks or Dwarves) will even need to concern themselves with death gaze.

Where the death gaze of gorgons becomes truly dangerous is when fighting ''lower-level'' opponents. Because the gorgon has first strike, a 1st level gorgon can potentially kill a high-level adventurer if you're below half-health. The best way to deal with such gorgons is to slow them with {{s|WEYTWUT}}, {{s|WONAFYT}} or use the entanglement boon of the {{g|The Earthmother}}. This will disable their first strike and allow you to clean them up without risking death gaze attacks. The {{c|Assassin}} is also useful in this regard, since his swift hands ability ignores first strike.

If you cannot slow a gorgon, the best course of action is to try to kill them while you're at high-health to avoid their death gaze. This is especially important for users of {{i|Platemail}}, who likely won't even take damage from a very low-level foe but are very vulnerable to death gaze.

The Gorgon boss is Medusa, and she has 100% death gaze. This means that if you are not at full health, she will instantly kill you with her attack. She also has the {{t|Mana Burn}} special attack, so using the {{s|HALPMEH}} glyph to heal between strikes won't work. Medusa's primary weakness is that she's a relatively fragile boss, so any method of setting up a long attack chain will defeat her relatively easily. {{g|Taurog}} and {{g|Dracul}} are particularly useful for battling her, since Taurog can easily allow you to create a death protection chain to ignore her death gaze, and Dracul's blood swell, blood hunger and blood tithe boons are excellent ways to heal yourself between attacks even after your mana has been drained.
