Her odds to drop one from her special rune drop tables are far better. Her odds of dropping a high level rune from her normal drop tables are as astronomical as they are for every other monster in the game. She also has special rune drop calculations for her bonus rune drops these do not allow her to drop such high level runes Io on Nightmare and Ist on Hell. Why are two runes listed as her top drop? She has normal item drops like any other monster these can go up to the highest runes listed Ko on Nightmare and Lo on Hell.

Hell: El (r01) - Ist/Lo (r28) above Ist (r24) is much rarer.

Nightmare: El (r01) - Io/Ko (r18) above Io (r16) is much rarer.

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.

This concludes our guide on how to farm the Keys of Destruction, Hate, and terror. That is how you farm keys of Destruction, Hate, and Terror in D2R Also when you kill a mob in his room he uses the corpse explosion spell on it dealing massive damage so an item like Nature’s Peace that has the enemies stay slain perk on it is recommended. He also has random minions in his room each time which if you get the snakes can be difficult. Nihlathak is one of the harder key bosses due to the fact that he can be immune to anything at random each time you fight him. Once found, Kill him for a chance at a key. Work your way down from the Halls of Anguish into the Halls of Pain making sure to grab the waypoint in the Halls of Pain and then into the Halls of Vaught where you will find Nihlathak.

Once inside make your way past Pindleskin and Enter the Halls of Anguish. After rescuing Anya, she will open a portal to Nihlathak’s Temple. If you do not have the Halls of Pain waypoint, you must first rescue Anya.

Once Inside the halls search one of the four paths for Nihlathak. To get to Hell Nihlathak, Use the waypoint to the Halls of Pain in Act 3 and work your way to the Halls of Vaught.
