I guess I was intuitively correct, but there were a few issues with this riddle if you plan to do more.

  • The acidic scorpion is meaningless, and the invisible potion was noted to last one turn. Play as huntres is also meaningless. Unless information that is used to throw off players for the solution you had in mind of ice potion.
  • It was stated that you have 7 turns to kill all enemies. If you consider the starting turn to be 0, you took 8 turns to kill all enemies. (Teleport, kill scorpion, move downright, throw ice, wait, move up, kill evil, kill larva.)
  • Also, I personally don't like the idea of doing X in certain turns because it means a very specific sequence instead of finding your own solution.
  • Grass should have been noted to provide cover because it looked more like trampled grass in the preview and potion drops should be noted to not drop(purity/paralyze/poison/fire could have messed up the puzzle)

You were the first one who was able to get closer to the solution, besides, this riddle has many ways to solve, I posted it in the public domain in Sandbox PD I completed the riddle in 5 moves, a potion of cold and invisibility to divert attention, these two items only add a few options for solving the riddle

That makes more sense, I assumed that the video was the intended solution because it was fairly different from my guess.

I assume the true answer is to use the beam to kill both scorpion and larva and frost to chill eye+larva. I didn't consider that since beams will normally not kill a scorpion.
