Andariel is the final boss of Act 1 in Diablo 2 Resurrected. She is a demoness known as the Maiden of Anguish, and she guards the passage to the East, where Diablo and his brothers are heading. She is a powerful enemy that uses poison and physical attacks and can summon undead and demonic minions to aid her. She can drop some unique and set items that are very useful for different D2R classes and builds.
Farming Andariel is a good way to get some valuable unique and set items in Diablo 2 Resurrected, especially in the game's early stages. She can drop items that can boost your skills, attributes, resistances, and damage. Andariel is also easy to kill, especially with fire damage, as she has very low fire resistance.
Andariel can be found in the Catacombs Level 4, which is one of the terror zones in Act 1. To access this terror zone, you need to complete the Sisters' Burial Grounds quest and enter the Forgotten Tower. Then, you need to find the waypoint in Catacombs Level 2 and go down two levels to reach Andariel's lair.
