Medusa is killed by Perseus, he looked for Medusa's reflection from his shield and cut her head off with his sword.There is no record telling about Centaur's physical weakness.

CENTAURS

Appearance and Relationship
In Greek Mythology, the centaurs are a hybrid race of creatures, part human and part horse. They were said to have been born from Ixion (son of Ares) and Nephele (the cloud made look alike Hera). Others said that they were descended from the Centaurus and Magnesian mares. There is also female form of this creature known as Centaurides.

Some people also describe them by their lustfulness and drunkenness except the one known as the wise centaur named Cheiron. 

Cheiron himself isn't a descendant of Ixion like any other centaurs. He was born from the relationship between the Titans Cronos and Philyra. That is why Cheiron got the best of a centaur in wisdom and gentleness and also trusted to guide some of the Greek greatest heroes.

Adventure
The most famous battle that involved the centaurs are known as the centauromachy. It was a battle between the centaurs and the Lapiths. Lapithes (first king of the Lapiths) is actually a twin of Centaurus (ancestor of centaurs). So the Lapiths invited the Centaurs to their king's wedding one day, long after Lapithes has passed away and Perithous took his place. The Centaurs got drunk and tried to take the bride and raped her.

The Lapiths fought them back in order to defend their queen with the help of some Athenian heroes that were also invited to that wedding. At the end, the Lapiths won the battle and drove the Centaurs away from that land, Thessaly.
