By the time I hit my hundredth Tormented Andariel run, I felt like I could dodge her poison clouds in my sleep. The target was clear – chase those ultra-rare Uber Uniques since her loot pool mirrors Duriel’s – but I knew going in that RNG can be brutal. Sometimes you spend materials and walk away with nothing but junk.
Somewhere between the farming loops and counting mats, you start to wonder if the payoff’s worth it more than the grind. Still, if you play often and keep the rhythm, it’s one of the steadier ways to test your luck while stacking Diablo 4 gold from the side drops.
The Uber results? Across the 100 kills, I pulled four. First big win was a Harlequin Crest at run 22 – the kind of drop that makes you grin instantly. Then, about 30 runs later, another Harlequin Crest… good for a trade maybe, but let’s be honest, seeing the same rare piece twice cuts both ways. Later into the grind, run 85 dropped me a Melted Heart of Selig, and then almost at the finish line – run 97 – the new Tyrael’s Might landed in my lap. That one felt fresh, mostly because of the seasonal hype around it. I’d call four in a hundred a good streak compared to the usual two-percent chatter you hear from folks farming these bosses.
Of course, it wasn’t all flash and glory. Andariel kept tossing her regular uniques like clockwork. Godslayer Crowns and Tassets of the Dawning Sky showed up so often I stopped noting them after about 20 kills. That’s the sort of “loot flood” you get used to quick. More interesting pieces like Doombringer and The Grandfather were far rarer – just two of the former and one of the latter through the whole stretch. Even if you’re not hunting Ubers, she can still feed you useful bits for alt builds or tinkering with new specs, which makes the runs feel less wasted when the top prizes aren’t dropping.
The runs didn’t pay out evenly. I’d go through 30+ kills without a single notable hit, then suddenly pick up two big ones within a handful of attempts. It’s classic RNG mood swings – the kind of thing that keeps you hooked and frustrated at the same time. You could nail your dream drop on run one or still be waiting at five hundred, and there’s no trick that changes that math. That unpredictability’s part of the draw for some players, though it can burn you out fast if you push too hard too often.
So is she worth farming in Season 11? I’d say yeah, with a few caveats. The fight’s faster and less messy than Duriel, so the loop feels smoother. Material costs still add up if you’re chasing her back-to-back, but killing her quick helps make it feel more efficient overall.
If you’ve got your eyes on a Shako or that shiny new Tyrael’s Might, she’s a solid pick – just pack some patience and be ready for long dry spells. Personally, I’m happy to retire from those poison pools for a bit while I enjoy my new angelic chest and maybe browse for Diablo 4 Items for sale to round out the kit.
