Interesting. Last night I was doing Palace Cellar and drew the

Herald at xx:59, 1 minute before TZ change, and there ended up being no

Herald.

I did notice the zone staying terrorized. It's very obvious if you happen to be doing early act normal TZ because super healing/mana potions continue to drop.

If you draw the Ire and a TZ ends, you have to go to the next TZ to try and spawn the

Herald. This is because it turns a random terrorized mob (that hasn't spawned yet) into the

Herald. You can still kill any TZ enemies that are spawned in the current zone and draw more Ire from them, but they will not turn into Heralds.

I mistyped that. I said "drew the

Herald" which is a combination of drawing ire and the

Herald hunting.

It was 110% "the

Herald is hunting you". Can't miss the sound when playing with headphones.

Interesting, I've never had the

Herald actually spawn and not be able to find him. Is it possible you killed him without noticing? The T1 heralds are sometimes pretty weak.

So... I got almost double the average

I used

Western Worldstone Shard (my 1st one), and after cleared all Act 1 (as L96 TZ), I fought 8 Heralds in total
Is this an average amount of Heralds for the "full Act 1"?

It’s pretty much impossible to 100% accurately calculate this (due to the complexity of how it depends not just on how many elites you’ve killed but also on how much you’ve already scouted, i.e. how many normal monsters you’ve already spawned). The closest you can get is to calculate the average number of ires that will be drawn and just assume that each ire will be converted to a

Herald. This is what Pavke did for the calculations in his article (which I linked earlier, did you read it? it has lots of info!).

The average for a full act 1 clears
is 4.40 ires drawn, you can find all the details in the article.
