Who is the Countess?

The Countess, Where to Find and How to Farm - D2Runewizard (3)The Countess, Where to Find and How to Farm - D2Runewizard (4)

The Countess can be found in the 5th level of the Forgotten Tower under the

Black Marsh. The Countess is an interesting target because of her unique rune drop mechanics. Besides runes, she also drops the Key of Terror on Hell difficulty, used for the

Pandemonium Event. The Countess in Diablo 2 Resurrected is a quest boss who needs to be killed for The Forgotten Tower quest in Act 1.

How to find the Countess

Locating the Forgotten Tower

The Countess, Where to Find and How to Farm - D2Runewizard (5)The Countess, Where to Find and How to Farm - D2Runewizard (6)

The easiest way to find the Forgotten Tower is to start from the Black Marsh

waypoint and make your way to the perimeter of the map. Trace the perimeter of the map all the way round until you find the tower. If the tower is not near the perimeter, it can also spawn next to a map object like The Hole entrance, the waypoint, a bridge, etc...

The game will first try to find a spot near the perimeter of the map, that's why you should start here. If it can not spawn the tower anywhere near the perimeter of the map, it will find a spawn location next to a map object.

Navigating the Forgotten Tower

The fastest way to find the Countess inside the tower is to go all the way left of the way your character enters the tower level, ignoring walls (assuming you can teleport). When you reach the end of the map turn left again and repeat.

When you start on a level and there is nothing to the left, you should go all the way to the bottom left corner of the map and repeat the above when necessary.

Drop mechanics

The Countess has 2 drop tables, her normal monster drop table and a special rune drop table. In total she can drop up to 6 items, taking into consideration player difficulty. Her normal monster drop table is rolled first, so increasing the player difficulty will increase the amount of items from the normal drop table and reduce the amount of rune rolls. That's why it is best to farm the Countess on player 1 difficulty, to get the best rune drop chances.Magic find on the other hand does not affect rune drops, because it only affects the rarity of her normal drop table, not the amount of items. This means that the amount of rune drop rolls remain the same.

The way the rune drops are calculated is as follows. First 5 rolls are made in her item drop table. Each roll has a 19/67 chance to roll nothing. Next, 3 rolls are made from her rune drop table, these have a 1/4 chance to roll nothing. If it does roll a rune, it will first roll the highest rune TC, for hell this is TC runes 12 (ist/mal), for nightmare TC runes 8 (io/hel), and for normal TC runes 4 (ral/tal). If the TC doesn't roll a rune, the next TC is rolled all the way down to TC runes 1, which guarantees an El or Eld rune.

This gives a total possible of 8 items, which is then capped at 6, giving priority to the item drop table. This means that each no-drop on the item drop table, opens up a slot for a rune from the rune drop table.

Are these graphs useful?

Her special rune drop table can roll up to a Ral rune on Normal difficulty, Io rune on Nightmare difficulty, and Ist rune on Hell difficulty.

Keep in mind that her normal monster drop table can also drop runes, albeit with a low drop chance for higher runes than her rune drop table. The highest rune the Countess can drop on Nightmare difficulty is a Ko rune. The highest rune the Countess can drop on Hell difficulty is a Lo rune.

Runewords you can farm from the Countess

Normal Countess

Stealth and Leaf are probably the most useful starter items in the game. It is therefore a good strategy for a new account to do a few Countess runs to obtain these runewords. Since it the Countess drops Ral runes very often, it is easy to cube up to an Ort rune. The list below will therefore also take into account Ort runes.

At the start of a new ladder season, some of the most sought-after runewords can be easily obtained from the Nightmare Countess. Runewords like Insight, Spirit, and Lore are very valuable for farming in early ladder season.

Hell Countess (in addition to Nightmare)

Because Ist runes are still a very rare drop from the Countess, it will still take a long time to find these. On the other hand, the Countess does drop more regularly runes for other good runewords like Treachery and Obedience. Both very good runewords for your Mercenary.
