Compare difficulty reports in context

A Witch tester who cleared two of the three demo tales on Heroic described Greenthistle as harder in their attempts. They compared movement during attacks with casts that commit the character to a position.

Track puzzles and boss criteria separately

The Hexed Puzzlemaster objective asks for every Greenthistle puzzle. Boss records track specific encounters and their difficulty.

Use the Normal recording as a landmark guide

Open the full recording while you still know where you entered the area. Watch until you see the same storybook prompt, settlement marker or encounter nameplate. Pause there, then look for the next recognizable turn or interaction. If the recording moves into a branch and you are targeting a boss, mark the branch and check your current objective before following. When you need a puzzle or story, take the opposite approach and review optional turns that a fast clear might pass.

Make three notes as you watch. Write down the landmark, the interaction and the result you can see. The landmark helps you return, while the result tells you whether the route was relevant to your objective. If you recognize Granny Greenthumb or Ylska Vilefang, keep their names distinct in your notes. A recording caption that simply calls the enemy a witch can be difficult to match to the right achievement later.

Compare the same action window at a higher tier

For a Heroic attempt, select one moment to compare with the Normal footage. An opening cast, a retreat during a telegraph or the first opportunity to heal is easier to assess than the whole fight at once. On Witch, check whether you can continue moving during the action you plan to use. If you need to stand still to finish it, decide what attack you will wait for before starting. The tester report is one player’s experience, so use it to choose what to watch for in your own encounter rather than to assume your exact timings match.
