The Countess is one of the most popular early game farms because she drops a Rune almost every single time you lot kill her. In fact, on Nightmare she tin drop upwardly to 6 Runes (though you lot'll rarely ever see iii, let along anything more)! Farming her for long enough will permit you to make any of the Runewords that you lot need for your graphic symbol.

For this reason, The Countess is i of the well-nigh commonly early on farmed bosses at the offset of each Ladder or for any Single Player who is looking to gear up with some Runewords for Nightmare or Hell. Most people skip all of the trash around The Countess when they do these runs and every bit much trash every bit y'all can skip in The Tower dungeon as a whole.

Basically people run through The Tower every bit fast as possible, kill The Countess, take hold of the Loftier Runes that she drops and so leave the game immediately to do another run. There are two things worth noting about The Countess... The commencement is that she'll always spawn on the contrary side of the room as you enter on.

Second, depending on your map layout The Countess may be 'leashed' to her room. You'll be able to pull her minions out but she'll never really leave the room herself. You tin can use this to your reward if you lot are undergeared or leveled and farming her on Hell difficulty.

If you're curious what High Runes you tin find on The Countess depending on the difficulty you're playing on, check out my lists below. Go on in mind that The Countess' loot table works differently than regular enemies when information technology comes to dropping Runes too. Basically, she has 1 guaranteed Rune drop and and so a 'bonus' Rune drop.

Regular Rune Drop Tabular array
Normal: El - Ral
Nightmare: El - Io
Hell: El - Ist

Bonus Rune Drop Tabular array
Normal: El - Ral
Nightmare: El - Ko
Hell: El - Lo

The normal Rune drib table is what she drops from every time y'all kill her and has the more common Runes on it. Her bonus loot tabular array typically has all of the same Runes the first boodle table does with an additional two or four of the more rare ones. As same at the start of the guide The Countess has a adventure of dropping up to six runes in full. I of them always comes from her regular boodle tabular array and the boosted ones that drop come from her bonus table.

Terminal only non least, if you lot are playing on Single Thespian I strongly recommend you continue the game fix to 1 player equally that'll increment your chances of getting a Rune from The Countess' loot table. When you increase the amount of players in the game you'll increase the amount of Magical items that will drop from The Countess. Doing this will actually decrease the chances of you finding additional Runes because a Magical particular that drops can and will have the place of a Rune.
