Well... Andariel is quite hard to beat really, my brother died like 3 times with a level 20 barbarien with armor (chain mail, gloves, boots, helm, and belt), rings, and amulets that all had poison resist. You may want to open open a portal next to the entrance to catacombs level 5, then go through it when you die, and open a new one then get your body and get everything set back up. The best Character type for killing andariel I think is a necromancer with high levels in the summoning area (or a druid with with good summoning levels if you get the exp pack), because the catacombs level 5 is littered with monsters so you can just summon a golem, mages, and skeletons, open the door to andariel, and step back, when they die just resummon them. It would still be a good idea to open a portal and have poison resist at a high though because andariel will most likely ignore your minions and try to get to you. Hope I helped some. Also do a lot of catacomb runs before you enter andariel's room to level up.
