How to unlock the Master Executioner achievement in Knights Contract - Definitive Guide
The best way to go about getting this achievement is to play through the game on Squire. This will unlock the Hexen Knight difficulty. When you beat the game again on Hexen, it will unlock both the Skilled Executioner and Master Executioner achievements.

What kind of bullshit solution is this? You are supposed to give tips on how to beat that difficulty and not telling me the difficultys are stackable. Meeeh. Absolute downvote!!!!!!!

If you are interested in seeing an guide for this achievement you should check the legendary executioner guide posted by Zacry072. There really is no need to re-post most of his excellent information and tips. Like he already said, there are not too many differences between the difficulties besides the horrid QTE window for bosses, and damage received. A road map for game completion is not a bs solution. The fact that playing it trough on squire unlocks a difficulty two difficulties above itself actually saves people time.

To make this game easier I recommend starting on Squire difficulty for the first playthrough.Try to get as many S rank as possible. It is on this difficulty I recommend getting all the S rank for another achievement. Lost pages carry over by the way to other playthroughs. Just be sure to save after the last episode after the credits when the game ask you. And then to continue for another playthrough don´t chose new game. Instead load that save and choose the difficulty you want to play on and then continue.
That is were you can also replay later on Squire difficulty to get all the S rank. I never used the weapon you get from S ranking all the levels on one difficulty. But this weapon could help a bit on witchcraft difficulty. But it is not crucial if you ask me.
So start with Squire and try to do as many finishers as possible so you get more energy you use to level up your weapons as they also carry over. The lance and vlads impaler and colchis trap are the most important for the bosses.
The video above helps out a great deal! Credit to the person making it!
Memorise when the QTE shows up. What is the scene before it shows up. And you can press the guide button to pause. Then look at the video for the next scene were the next QTE comes up. The repeat press QTE can sometimes be pressed in advance. Makes it much easier. Some of the QTE require you to be faster than others. I believe it depends on how the big circle is when the QTE shows up. You can see in the video that they are smaller sometimes. For example Episode 19 when fighting that boss for phase 3. The second input for the QTE is RB and that one is very tough. I believe the one after with the X input is very tough as well. Both those circles are small. For those I just memorised when they show up and it made it much easier. But I could not press in advance before the circle showed up. But I was like ready because I knew exactly when. So that should really help.
Here are all the QTE inputs for each of the bosses: (I mark them in spoiler tags to avoid spoilers).

If anyone has problems with cut scenes on bosses (have time to press the button that appears on the screen), do the following. method: you quickly press the desired button in advance, and when it lights up you press it anyway, etc., at easier levels this method does not work because it gives you a larger margin of time to react and press the desired button and it turns out that you earlier press it more than you should. (difficulty HEXEN KNIGHT and WITCHSLAYER, personally tested!)) Effective starting from the second boss (Trude). On the first boss, again, enough time is given even at the highest difficulty level

In principle, it is written correctly, but if you press quickly, you are doomed to constantly fail QTEs. You don’t need to quickly press the necessary buttons - but press rhythmically and at intervals of 0.7-1 seconds. Personally, with this tactic I was able to pass any QTE almost the first time.
