The Countess is a Demon and a Dark Stalker Corrupt Rogue.

The Countess is one of the [ [Demons]].

The Countess must be killed to complete the Forgotten Tower quest.

The Countess can drop the Key of Terror on Hell difficulty, a required ingredient for the Pandemonium Event. This item can not be obtained from any other monster, and can only be used on the Battle.net realms, though it will drop sometimes in Single Player as well. The odds of the Key of Terror dropping depend on how many players are in the game.

1 or 2 players: 7%
3 or 4 players: 9.1%
5 or 6 players: 9.6%
7 or 8 players: 9.8%

Starting with the v1.09 patch, The Countess was given the ability to drop one or more runes almost every time she died. This ability was enhanced and modified in v1.10, and in v1.11 she is now almost certain to drop at least one rune every time (1/64 chance of none dropping), and has the capability to drop up to six, though more than 2 or 3 is a very rare sight. The runes she can drop are:

Normal: El (r01) - Ral (r08).
Nightmare: El (r01) - Io/Ko (r18); above Io (r16) is much rarer.
Hell: El (r01) - Ist/Lo (r28); above Ist (r24) is much rarer.

Her Treasure Classes are uniquely modified, and as a result the odds of her dropping multiple runes are actually increased when there is only one player in the game. (Her rune drops come from special treasure class sequences that are accessed if she doesn't drop other items. Since she's more likely to drop other items with more players in the game, this cuts down on her odds of dropping a rune.)

She has normal item drops like any other monster; these can go up to the highest runes listed, but as with all monsters, the odds of her dropping her highest runes are astronomical. She also has special rune drop calculations, and the best runes possible from these do not go quite as high, hence the lower odds for her to drop the top 2 runes on Nightmare and the top 4 on Hell. (Up to Ist can come from her special rune drops, while Gul, Vex, Ohm, and Lo can only come from her normal drop.) If she drops a rune from her special TC then she drops a rune from “Runes 12” TC. This TC has a 3/5045 chance for Mal and a 2/5045 chance for Ist.

All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.

Statistics

Name	Attack #1	Attack #2	Attack Rating	Firewall	# of Minions
The Countess	4-9 / 20-40 / 51-102	5-8 / 24-37 / 61-93	95 / 1170 / 4282	Per second damage: 22-24 / 29-31 / 39-40	6 / 7 / 9

Defenses

Like many other SuperUniques, The Countess does not regenerate hit points.

Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec.
Blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to block.
Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.
Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

Name	Defense	Blocking	Regen Rate	Drain Effectiveness	Chill Effectiveness
The Countess	40 / 570 / 1468	25%	--	100 / 100 / 100	0 / 0 / 0

Resistances

Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the Resistances page for more details.

Name	Physical	Fire	Cold	Lightning	Poison	Magic
The Countess	0% / 0% / 20%	75% / 75% / 108%	0% / 0% / 130%	0% / 0% / 33%	0% / 0% / 2 0%	0% / 0% / 20%

All SuperUniques (except for Uber Diablo are found in roughly the same location every game, on all three difficulty levels. (Except for the Uber Monsters who are only found on Hell Difficulty.)
