How to Defeat Basilisks
Yeah, you could try fighting blindfolded, or in total darkness, or the trick of making it see its own reflection (how many D&D versions allow a chance of a basilisk to petrify itself?) But barring that, what about sneaking up behind it and tossing a bag over its head? As long as you can do this while avoiding its gaze, the combat afterwards will be much simpler than fighting blindfolded.
