This may be far-fetched, and I don't know if anyone else has said this. Maybe, we can use the block ability on our swords to counter the Gorgon's Gaze? I mean it would be cool, and makes some sense. Perseus blocked the Medusa's gaze with a shield. This is like a Guardian using the blocking effect of the sword to counter the Gorgon's Gaze. This is not proven. I just thought of this right now.
