Last time I checked it was impossible due to sv_cheats being set to 1. Map uses it for it's mechanics. You also die a lot during training, and there's a tricky way to restart the map instantly without you watching "YOU ARE DEAD" screen for a few minutes.

@Crunchy Maggots

You legend. Took me at least 7 minutes of practice before I got my first one-shot, but one I started getting it, I got the one shot consistent with every shotgun.

Thanks a mil. Looking forwards to putting this into practice.

Damn, you put this out ten years ago and just now I've been able to use it to good effect, thanks! Special shoutout to the hidden propane tank that enables fun times.

@Emmix
Thank you for that review, it was very helpful.
Really glad map was useful!
Emmix 18 Mar, 2023 @ 12:33pm 
Excellent map for training, I have mastered the art of witch crowning thanks to this, still haven't been able to melee solo or use the propane explosion properly, maybe if the map could give a proper explanation on when to melee dodge or where to place the explosion, it would help a lot with those strategies, that would be my only complaint, otherwise, great map.

Abra la consola y escriba lo siguiente, un comando a la vez:

sv_cheats 1

mp_gamemode coop; map sb_witch

o

map sb_witch coop

o

map sb_witch campaign

Thank you very much, glad you liked it!

Eliminated eight sitting Witches in a row with just the katana and three in a row with the fire axe (with slow melee weapons, the window for dodging the Witch's second swing is ultra tight).
Very good training map. Thank you very much for it.

Thank you! I'm happy to know map was helpful!

Thank you so much, this map really helped me learn how to kill a witch with a shotgun! :griefer:
coaghoul  [author] 27 Sep, 2022 @ 1:30pm 
you can do it, I believe in you

bro its hard
coaghoul  [author] 4 Jun, 2022 @ 12:15pm 
No, map requires sv_cheats to be set to 1, and this disables the achievements.
Exploit 4 Jun, 2022 @ 7:30am 
No achievements?
Karaoke 1 Jun, 2022 @ 7:01pm 
\/ NVM. For some reason when I added the two training maps all my keybindings for movement got mysteriously deleted. resetting to default fixed the issues. :steamfacepalm:
Karaoke 1 Jun, 2022 @ 6:53pm 
I'd love to play this map, however every time I load it up no matter what I try, I can't move. Can't pick up weapons, can't crouch, nada-zip. Just look around with my arm out :nonplussed_creep:
coaghoul  [author] 30 May, 2022 @ 10:04am 
>how do you use melee weapons on the witch?

You can stun her with an explosion or sniper headshot from some distance and keep her stunned by shoving her with any weapon, including melee. While she's stunned, she can be easily killed with melee. There's a part about it in the video.
Bogwandi 👈( ̿Ĺ̯ ̿ ̿👈) 25 May, 2022 @ 10:33am 
good map. was a pain in the ass to start it tho.
how do you use melee weapons on the witch?

how i started it tutorial (for germans):
1. enable console
2. close game and open properties on steam
3. -console in starting stuff
4. sv_cheats 1 when starting with console
5. map sb_witch coop in console

unfortunately i couldnt bind "F9" "toggleconsole", neither in console nor in the default.cfg. even checking the english layout didnt help me. so i always can start it when running the game at start
coaghoul  [author] 27 Apr, 2022 @ 8:25am 
Sorry, there's no functional for that. Never really thought of it. :<
MIM 27 Apr, 2022 @ 12:27am 
How can I spawn day time witch? (standing one) :witch:
coaghoul  [author] 31 Mar, 2022 @ 6:19am 
It probably didn't donwload properly. Try to unsub and sub again.
nel 30 Mar, 2022 @ 9:55pm 
It's telling me there is no such map as sb_witch
Wizard 16 Jan, 2022 @ 1:46am 
Ok map but needs more range to the witch so you can try the headshot => melee tactic.
adam avcisi 10 Jan, 2022 @ 7:24am 
witch is always angry idk why
Doge🐕 8 Jan, 2022 @ 10:33am 
why only shotguns :(
李探花 3 Dec, 2021 @ 2:12am 
thank bruh
coaghoul  [author] 2 Dec, 2021 @ 1:18pm 
Really sorry, but I don't think I can help you.
I've never seen an error like that in 7 years of this map.
You MIGHT try to check local cashe for l4d2 in steam properties, but even that is not a guarantee.
So try to unsubscribe, check local cashe, subscrive and download the map again.
李探花 1 Dec, 2021 @ 8:42pm 
Yes, i typed all console you say but game said "failed to find location to spawn witch" or something like that
coaghoul  [author] 1 Dec, 2021 @ 2:52pm 
Have you tried steps mentioned in FAQ about fixing bugs here in description?
李探花 1 Dec, 2021 @ 12:02am

Now that I squeeze my brains to remember, I think the reasoning behind locking the map on Advanced was following:

1. There's no difference between headshot damage taken by Witch on Advanced and Expert, but body shot damage is lower than on Normal. On Normal, it's possible to kill the Witch with a single correct body shot. Locking the map on higher difficulty will assure that people will learn to kill her only with a correctly placed headshot, and won't develop any false skills with accidental body shots.

2. On Expert, a single hit of Witch kills the player, and you'd have to sit through a really long and annoying death screen and then watch the map's "campaign" being restarted. Assuming you'll get killed a lot, you'd be forced to waste a lot of time watching these scenes. Game logic didn't allow me to quickly restart the map if all players are dead.

3. If change of difficulty was allowed, people would change it willy nilly and would learn nothing lol.
Catriana 18 Nov, 2021 @ 9:21am 
Why would someone put this on advance mode.....
John L'embrouille 2 Oct, 2021 @ 3:54am 
If you want to play this map as expert, just open console and ( i don't know if needed ) type "sv_cheats 1" and then "z_difficulty impossible" --> ( repeat "z_difficulty impossible" when you die )
