Andariel is a melee attacker who can also shoot poison bolts and a poison spray, both of which also inflict physical damage (so they can be blocked with a shield). She also inflicts 200% damage on any mercenary, which may not survive unless you or your pets bear the brunt of her fury (although she inflicts '''400%''' damage on pets). If you're having trouble going toe-to-toe with her, retreat to the reception area and try using ranged attacks and skills while she chases you around the sunken pit in its midst. | Andariel is a melee attacker who can also shoot poison bolts and a poison spray, both of which also inflict physical damage (so they can be blocked with a shield).

Sometimes, just sometimes, it's actually useful to talk to the people in camp, and if you do so with Deckard Cain you'll learn that Andariel isn't fond of fire.

Unfortunately, the fires dotted around the level only damage you, not her. | ||
When you finally kill her, the screen shakes as she erupts in a pillar of fire with fingers of flame snaking across the floor as rubble falls from the ceiling, lethal to any nearby monsters but harmless to you and your party. She always drops two chipped [[../Gems|gems]] and one of normal quality in all difficulties, and a portal back to camp opens. | When you finally kill her, the screen shakes as she erupts in a pillar of fire with fingers of flame snaking across the floor as rubble falls from the ceiling, lethal to any nearby monsters but harmless to you and your party.
