I don't know if it's a difficult battle or not, but without Nagas or oil, it's best not to mess with the Medusa nest. And yet:
Capturing a minimal Medusa nest with an upgraded stack. (4 Medusas per stack, on snow)
Level 1 Alchemist hero.
Army and formation: 80 Gremlins-1 Gremlin-4 Gargoyles-2 Gargoyles-1 Gremlin-4 Gargoyles-6 Golems
If the Gremlins hit weakly and a single Medusa remains, don't hesitate — finish it off with the shooter. It's also a good idea to cast Slow on the upgraded Medusas and Stone Skin or Haste on the Gremlins.
Approximate losses: 2-8 Gremlins, 6-10 Gargoyles, and 2-4 Golems.

PS For Tower, capturing a Medusa nest before building Nagas is not relevant — the respawn is usually rich, but rough cases do happen.
Capturing a minimal Medusa nest with an upgraded stack. (4 Medusas per stack, on snow)
Level 1 Alchemist hero.

| Round 1 The stacks of 4 Gargoyles lock down the upgraded Medusas — it will hold for 4-6 rounds. 2 Gargoyles fly to the right middle stack. The main Gremlin stack takes out the top left Medusas. Single Gremlins lock down the top right Medusas. The upgraded Medusas hit the Gargoyles — petrification. The top right Medusas kill 1 Gremlin. The bottom right Medusa stack shoots the Golems (always!). The middle right Medusa stack melee attacks the Golems (always!) — petrification. This happens because the Gremlins are too far away (broken arrow range) and the Golems are too close. If the Golems are not petrified, they should move right and down. | |
| Round 2 The Gremlins take out the Medusas near the Golems. 2 Gargoyles block the bottom right Medusas. The remaining three Medusa stacks fight in their corners, and the bottom right stack cannot take out the two Gargoyles in one hit. If in round 1 the top right stack panicked and killed the single Gremlins, then 2 Gargoyles fly to them. | |
| Round 3 The Gremlins hit the top right stack. The upgraded Medusas are still locked down. The bottom right Medusa stack breaks free. | |
| Round 4 The upgraded Medusas break free. The Gremlins kill them. The Golems recover from petrification, but the bottom right Medusa stack will likely shoot the Gremlins — however, at broken arrow range, they won't kill many. In rounds 5 and 6, we finish off the remaining Medusas. |
If the Gremlins hit weakly and a single Medusa remains, don't hesitate — finish it off with the shooter. It's also a good idea to cast Slow on the upgraded Medusas and Stone Skin or Haste on the Gremlins.
Approximate losses: 2-8 Gremlins, 6-10 Gargoyles, and 2-4 Golems.
