Blizzard Sure Is Dragging Out Diablo 4's Secret Cow Level Reveal

Diablo 4's new Lord of Hatred expansion added some tantalizing developments in the hunt for the game's fabled secret cow level, but so far, the level itself still remains illusive.

Players have been on the hunt for Diablo 4's cow level, a Diablo franchise tradition, since the game first launched in 2023. Both Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 sported their own versions of the joke level (which was actually kind of lucrative), leading fans to assume Diablo 4 had one too, despite Blizzard insisting it didn't. The base game and its first expansion both offered new clues as to the level's whereabouts and seemed to move the ball forward, only for secret hunters to to run into dead ends both times. Lord of Hatred, however, has changed that.

As seen in the video above from a member of Diablo 4's Not Finding A Cow Level Discord server, with the addition of the Horadric Cube (a crafting tool that granted access to versions of the cow level in previous Diablo games), dedicated cow-level truthers have finally found a use for previously discovered secret items like the stamina potion and rusty bardiche. Combining these in the cube along with a morbid new item, Neyrelle's hand, transmutes them into an all-new item, the cow skull Trophy of the Faithful. That item, in turn, rewards a torn journal page.
