One of them always comes from her regular loot table and the additional ones that drop come from her bonus table. As aforementioned at the start of the guide The Countess has a chance of dropping up to six runes in total. Her bonus loot table typically has all of the same Runes the first loot table does with an additional two or four of the more rare ones. The normal Rune drop table is what she drops from every time you kill her and has the more common Runes on it. Basically, she has one guaranteed Rune drop and then a 'bonus' Rune drop.

Keep in mind that The Countess' loot table works differently than regular enemies when it comes to dropping Runes too. If you're curious what High Runes you can find on The Countess depending on the difficulty you're playing on, check out my lists below. You can use this to your advantage if you are undergeared or leveled and farming her on Hell difficulty. You'll be able to pull her minions out but she'll never actually leave the room herself.

Second, depending on your map layout The Countess may be 'leashed' to her room. The first is that she'll always spawn on the opposite side of the room as you enter on. There are two things worth noting about The Countess. Most people skip all of the trash around The Countess when they do these runs and as much trash as you can skip in The Tower dungeon as a whole.īasically people run through The Tower as fast as possible, kill The Countess, grab the High Runes that she drops and then leave the game immediately to do another run. In fact, on Nightmare she can drop up to 6 Runes (though you'll rarely ever see 3, let along anything more)! Farming her for long enough will allow you to make any of the Runewords that you need for your character.įor this reason, The Countess is one of the most commonly early farmed bosses at the start of each Ladder or for any Single Player who is looking to gear up with some Runewords for Nightmare or Hell. The Countess is one of the most popular early game farms because she drops a Rune almost every single time you kill her.
