Here is a nice video you can watch that shows how the deed is done! Now, it’s your turn to snip some thorns!
Prior to Confronting The Countess:
I completed many quests, fought countless battles, looted riches beyond compare and put a few more notches on my heroic resume! All in the past 24 hours! – Just another day in the life of your Hero!
Here is an account of my heroic deeds since last we spoke:
- Upon clearing Bloodsworn Den I pocketed another 17,000 experience points and gained a few levels. Not bad at all!
- I completed the Horadric Bestiary, saved the pretty lady Liene, collected Monstrous Essences, unlocked entries in the Bestiary, and picked up some nice swag! Oh, yea!
- I completed the Gathering the Reagents quest, entered Arach’s den for the eye (I hate spiders!), defeated Priestess Vassarici, got the Blood Flower’s thorns, and delivered them along with a blackened branch to Hemlir. Oh, and I also exceeded Level 25!
- I completed the Between Two Evils quest, and put more cultists to bed (dead). You got away with the Ember of Dark Magic, over 35,000 experiences, and more coins and swag! My bravery in battle has left even myself breathless!
- I completed the Tree of Inifuss quest, killing more Bloodsworn, defeated Hemlir’s shadow clone, and walked away with 45,000 experience and more riches! Yea!
- And finally, I entered the Blood Resurrection quest, reached the Sanguine Ruins, entered the lair of the Blood Rose, reached the Tree of Inifuss, and entered the Forgotten Tower! I did not continue and defeat the Countess until I reach a minimum of Level 60! You can do it also!
- My name and deeds will go down in the history of Diablo!
Tips from my Victory over the Countess
I have documented my tips and strategies for defeating the Countess. They will be chronicled in the annals of Diablo history. You can thank me at any time!

Clear the Countess’s Summoned Quickly
The Countess will summon legions of undead to spoil your fun. Look out for the bats! Use ranged and area-of-effect attacks to clear the field quickly so you can concentrate on The Countess!
Look for the Countess’s Melee and Charge Attack
With her mighty sword, the countess will strike you with a quick and powerful melee attack. Look for the telegraphed danger zone shown below when they appear just prior to the attack. This is actually two attacks in one. After the melee, she will charge the full length of the zone as shown below. Just be ready to run! I didn’t have to but you will! 😉
Perform a Continuous Flanking Maneuver!
The field of battle will be crowded and chaotic so try to perform a continuous flanking maneuver as you launch ranged attacks. While doing so, look for signs of her upcoming attacks.
Look for the Countess’s Flying Slam Attack
As the battle progresses, The Countess will spend time in the air and out of your field of view. This is when you need to watch out for her flying slam attack. The first sign is the pool of blood that appears on the floor. This is where she will land. Don’t miss the lightly marked blast zone. Escape quickly.
Avoid the Countess’s Containment Zones
The Countess will mark the floor with containment zones, intending to corral you into her attack zone. Crossing the lines will cause you 360 damage every time you touch them. It’s difficult to avoid them completely so just do your best. I had no trouble at all, however. I know, amazing!!
Defeat The Countess!
For the record, we know that these accounts are my own and do not ensure your victory over The Countess. However, if you follow my tips and attain a high enough level before taking her on, you should prevail and live to record the tale. In your record of deeds and songs, make sure to mention how I led the way – Your Hero!!
