Every pit run - I get a herald in level 2 right towards the back wall.

It works unless you skip clearing lvl 1, then I went back upstairs to clear and got a herald.

Guaranteed herald per pit run?

Can confirm same for halls of the dead.

Clear level 2 and 3, go back to lvl 1 - herald spawns within first 1-2 monster groups. The order won’t matter, you’ll get a herald after around 80% clear.

Horrendous update. Heralds are guaranteed like killing bosses - except you can just go kill a boss - need to clear 80-90% of area for herald.

From what I understand the chance to spawn is pseudo random/ increases every time it does not trigger on mob killin the same Tz zone. Therefore clearing dense areas and not leaving a zone until it triggers yields higher chance/guarantees it. Ill completely avoid areas with less mob density like cold plains, frigid highlands (need to teleport alot and going shenk eld -> other location resets this increased chance). What I do is level the herald to 4 then go tal rasha then reset. Rains heralds :D

Yet every level of Act 2 Palace/Harem = 1 Herald and every level of tower in act 1 = 1 herald… for me anyways. Also Arcane is 1 herald per N/E/S/W..
