Abyss Witch
Complete Tartarus: a higher difficulty zone. Use crowd control and sustained healing builds. Bring items and upgrades that mitigate explosive damage.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
How many runs do I need? It depends on your skill and how much you prioritize objectives; for platinum, plan for many runs (dozens), especially for prophecies, Chaos Challenges, and permanent upgrades.
Are there missable achievements? Not permanently: everything can be completed in later runs; adjust priorities and save resources to progress in specific prophecies.
What is the hardest achievement? High-level challenges (Great Infernal Chaos) and long prophecies tend to be the most demanding; they require optimized builds and patience.
Should I focus on one character or several weapons? Alternate: mastering one weapon and one character helps with consistency, but some prophecies require using other weapons or specific skills.
