Why can't i make cow level in diablo 28/25/2023 ![]() He doesn’t differ in appearance from the other cows in any way no crown or different coloration or longer horns, though on hell he often is Aura Enchanted, so you’ll spot him by that. You can see full stats for the Cow King here. He has minions as well, just like any random boss in the game. The boss monster for the level is The Cow King, and he’s there every game, always spawning somewhere inside or very near the wooden fort. If you’ve already killed the king or gotten credit for killing him when someone else did, you can’t open the red portal anymore, but you can still enter the red portal when someone else opens it up. Worse yet, everyone else in the Cow Level, whether they are partied or not, will also receive credit for completing the quest (if they didn’t have it already) and will no longer be able to open the Red Portal. If the character who gets the last hit on the Cow King can open the red portal, then they will receive credit for completing the quest and no longer be able to open the red portal. If they have previously gotten credit for completing the cow quest (which means they can not open the red portal) then nothing will change. Being partied or not has no effect on the credit for the quest, it only matters who actually gets the last hit on King. Credit is given if you kill him yourself, or he dies at the hand of another player who has never killed him before, while you are in the Cow Level. You can open the Red Portal to the cow level as many times as you like, providing you don’t get credit for killing the king. He is always Lightning Enchanted, and should be avoided if you wish to retain the ability to open the portal to the level. Somewhere inside or just outside of the “fort” as it’s called, you’ll find the Cow King. Being cornered or too surrounded will get you scenes like this, and as you can imagine, body-retrieval can be a challenge. It’s not a real good place to fight in, since the approaching cows can easily fill every exit and you do not want to be cornered by them. It is square in shape, with openings on all sides, and a number of dead Rogues lying around, and others tied to stakes, as you often see them in Act I. The level is all on the surface, there aren’t any sub levels or dungeon or cave areas, but there is a main wooden stockade sort of area, with walls just like those in the Rogue Encampment. They all have massive polearms, and do quite heavy damage when they strike you with their very fast attacks. Every cow looks the same, there is no variation in coloration or weaponry at all. ![]() By far the most tightly-packed monsters you see anywhere in the game can be found in the Cow Level. Cows and more cows, called Hell Bovines, appear in huge, almost never-ending herds. In the current version, you may repeat the Cow Level as often as you like, providing you do not receive quest credit for killing the Cow King.Īs for the Secret Cow Level itself, it’s about what you would expect. Prior to v1.02 you could go to the Secret Cow Level as many times as you wanted to, so if you really love it in single player, you could uninstall, reinstall Diablo II, and then play do the Cow Level with your open or single player characters as many times as you want to, as long as you don’t upgrade past v1.01. You do not need to carry around Wirt’s Leg forever just go back to Tristram any time and click his corpse to get a new one. You must finish the game first (Kill Diablo in D2, Kill Baal in D2X), and then go back to Act I on the same difficulty level, and execute the cube recipe of Wirt’s Leg + a Town Portal Tome, while your character is standing in the Rogue Encampment. The cow level in the final game does not take place in the Act One caves, nor are any of the cows brown in coloration, so clearly there were some changes made during development. It was taken as simply an April Fools’ Joke at the time, but the joke was clearly on us, as things turned out. The first hint of a secret cow level came on April 1, 1999, over a year before Diablo II was released, when this screenshot was released. However, the Diablo II team apparently drew upon the rumor for inspiration and worked the whole level into Diablo II. There is no secret level or anything related to the cows other than an Easter Egg-style joke in Diablo Hellfire, and Blizzard repeatedly denied its existence in both serious and humorous ways, such as the StarCraft cheat code “there is no cow level.” There were player-created rumors/jokes about a Secret Cow Level in Diablo I, based on the cows in the pasture in Tristram that would moo, or cause your character to say something amusing, if you clicked the bovines long enough.
