The difficulty level is standard.
We might as well at least start by taking the easy road.

Put on a pot of black tea and join us as we step into the world of Rokkenjima, October 1986. The economy is booming, the leaves are falling, and the witches are setting up their elaborate serial murders. Discover the answers to exciting questions like: how fake is Hideyoshi's accent? Is Rudolf a gamer? And how do you pronounce .css-1t8gq41{border:none;background-image:none;background-color:transparent;box-shadow:none;color:#2F3133;cursor:pointer;font-size:inherit;padding:0;-webkit-text-decoration:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;width:-webkit-max-content;width:-moz-max-content;width:max-content;}.css-1t8gq41:hover,.css-1t8gq41:focus{-webkit-text-decoration:inherit;text-decoration:inherit;}

The gameboard is set. How will the pieces make their moves? We sip our tea and watch as murder after murder takes place, until it finally ends with the witch's victory. Anna shows off her deep knowledge of mid-2000s Newgrounds games, Matt solves another Gohda-based mystery, and Izzy walks us through the merits of self-cremation.

The difficulty level is extreme.
The Witch intends to make you surrender all at once.

Let's get serious, ok? Beatrice opens the second game in top form, murdering in ways seemingly fully impossible, and even giving us a glimpse at life before the gameboard. Matt details more spicy Gohda takes, Jenn revels in Kanon headkanons, and Izzy finds a new strategy: utter denial.

The difficulty level is equal.
Equal for both you and the Witch.

This one's coming in hot, folks. The third game begins, with both Battler and Beatrice developing new strategies to back the other into a corner. Jenn gets on her soapbox, Anna discovers a new wife, and new cohost Caelum find a few holes in the beautiful tapestry that is Beato's Trick.

The difficulty level depends on you.
The manner in which you've fought until now will greatly influence the difficulty of this game.

Who aaam I? A new piece takes center stage, offering a new perspective on Beatrice's game as the Question Arcs reach their climax. Caelum teaches everyone about chuunibyous, Izzy starts her numbered list of Umineko Saddest Moments, and Anna laments the shortsightedness and too-horny-ness of Umineko th...

The difficulty is fairly easy.
What could possibly deceive you after all this time...?

After a not-unlengthy hiatus Golden Truths is back to tackle the Umineko Answer Arcs, if the Answer Arcs don't tackle us first. Jenn contemplates Krauss cryptocurrency conspiracies, Izzy misses marvelous Maria moments, and Caelum talks about new character Erika Furudo for like a solid hour.

There is no longer a difficulty level.
This is no longer a hint, but a confession.

After a not-unlengthier hiatus, Golden Truths is back, again, to watch the sun rise on Dawn of the Golden Witch. The cast engages in a mystery fight of their own, Jenn brings her horse to roost, and Anna, like you, screams and begs for more golden truths.

There is...a bit of difficulty to this one.

After a not un-unlengthier... okay, look this is Golden Truths: An Umineko Podcast, a podcast about Umineko. Do you remember us? We remember you, and hey, we recorded this episode like, over a year ago! We're putting it out! You heard about this culprit thing? Well, there's actually a lot to talk about before we get to that. Settle in for another two-parter as we discuss the complex circu...

Like pepper, the difficulty comes in tiny yet spicy grains.
Why not participate yourself, now at the very end?

And so it ends. Not with a bang, but with a sequence of extremely loud and kind of off-putting bangs that drown out the subtle storytelling that you've come to expect from this series. Ange needs to make a choice but so do we: do we think this episode is any good? Grab some konpeito and join us as we put the witch to sleep...
