Iolaus attempted to destroy the she-demon and, like the other men who had tried, was turned into a statue of stone. To the disbelief of Aegina and Lycus, Hercules declares he will take on the demon face-to-face.
Entering the darkness of her cave, he is immediately confronted by her sensuous, tantalizing form. Using her demonic charms, she attempts to seduce him into submission. A battle of wits and strength ensues, taxing all of Hercules' powers. Barely avoiding the savage swipes of her deadly tail, he finally outmaneuvers her and the lethal tail whips back on itself, turning her to stone.
