Educate players the keys of combat outside of combats. Do not force players to learn through party wipes

I'm playing on the PotD difficulty and my party is level-14.

And I just had a failed attempt of beating The Messenger, who is the first boss of Beast of Winter.

The fight is difficult for first timers, and it's not just me. A search on Google reveals that many players have the same thought. For example, see this Reddit thread.

As a player said in the Reddit thread, this fight basically forces you to learn the Interrupt and Concentration mechanics.

I'm fine with learning, but not in such a frustrating way.

You should have educated players the importance of Interrupt and Concentration against a certain enemies outside of combats, such as having a sage or a wizard teaching you and emphasizing the importance of these mechanics in a dialogue or something.

In my opinions, if a quest requires most players to learn the keys of its boss fight through party wipes, such a quest design is questionable.

In real life, there is no such thing as learning through deaths.
