Story setting and identity

The two named villages in Blizzard’s overview are Shady Hollow and Riverton. The tale is threatened by two witches, a giant and predatory creatures. Distinguishing the witches matters when following a boss criterion: Granny Greenthumb and Ylska Vilefang are different named enemies.

Puzzle and achievement goals

The reward-linked PTR achievement family includes The Hexed Puzzlemaster’s Reward, whose criterion is completing every puzzle in this tale and whose reward reference points to Greenthistle Wisdom. That is more specific than simply defeating its final enemy. A separate all-tale puzzle objective also exists.
