Diablo 4 sleuths are getting close to the RPG's secret cow level, and it only took 1,998 dead cows
The search for Diablo 4's secret but inevitable cow level is heating up now that players have uncovered three mysterious relics obtained by killing 666 cows apiece.
As Wowhead spotted, YouTube user and Diablo 4 player Grampa Joe recently uploaded a new video chronicling the discovery and use of three relics tied to the cow level. This followed some updated data mining efforts after the launch of Diablo 4 Season 2, which has seemingly added new pieces to the cow level puzzle. Those are: a Musty Tome, Bloody Wooden Shard, and Intricate Metallic Fragment.

By using all three relics at the city altar guarded by ox statues, you can obtain a strange key. This key opens the door to the Forlorn Hovel located far to the east of Cerrigar, near the waypoint for the Highland Wilds ritual. The hovel is filled to the brim with cows – who rather eerily watch you as you move around – and dead villagers, who may or may not have been killed by the cows.
The trail ends there for now. With how the Diablo 3 cow level worked, some players suspect that Diablo 4 players will
