Diablo 4 players make apparent breakthrough in hunt for secret cow level
Diablo 4 players believe they've made a breakthrough discovery in the hunt for a non-existent secret cow level.
As reported back in June, players have been seeking a secret cow level in the game, something that began as an urban myth in the original Diablo but was acknowledged by Blizzard in later games.
Blizzard has so far denied the existence of a cow level in Diablo 4, with general manager Rod Fergusson telling Kinda Funny the development team «wanted to ground [Diablo 4] as much as possible». That hasn't stopped players searching for it, however.
Fan site Wowhead has provided an update on the search, in which one player named Grampa Joe has seemingly gained access to the Forlorn Hovel, a cellar players believe will be the location of a portal to the secret cow level.
Players need to acquire three relics which are then offered to the oxen gods in Ken Bardu in exchange for a secret key. One of those relics is acquired by killing exactly 666 cows in the game, it's now claimed.
Once Grampa Joe seemingly achieved this in their video and gained access to the cellar, slaying the cows inside awarded them a Stamina Potion seemingly in a nod to Diablo 2's Cow King who also drops these. And this is where the trail goes cold again, for now.
According to Chef, the server admin of the Cow Level Secret Finding Discord, players can only obtain one relic per week, though players could trade with each other for the items.
It's hard to know if any of this will amount to much, especially as Blizzard has denied the cow level's existence. Still, it's a compelling story to follow.
As for trading, that won't be possible at the moment anyway as Blizzard has disabled the feature due to a duplication exploit.
