How to Defeat Andariel

Being the very first boss in the game, defeating Andariel shouldn’t be too much of a problem if you have a decent grasp of the game’s mechanics.

The boss is weak against Fire, so being able to deal this type of elemental damage will make the fight much shorter, reducing the chances for Andariel to damage and defeat you. Also, make sure to bring some sort of Poison protection with you, as Andariel can inflict Poison damage with her green smoke and stingers attacks. These attacks are very difficult to avoid, so having Poison protection is extremely important to reduce received damage. If you do not have any gear that can protect you from poison, bring as many antidotes as you can to negate Poison.

Continue attacking Andariel, run around her if you need some time to make healing potion do their job, heal Poison as quickly as possible and the demon will soon be sent back to the Hell it has crawled from!
