Diablo 4's Secret Cow Level has been discovered, and the Cow King drops a new Mythic Item

'There is No Secret Cow Level' is an iconic line from Blizzard's Diablo series, as it refers to a hidden dungeon or level infested with weapon-wielding cows and the promise of loot. Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 both featured this bovine bonus, and Diablo 4 players have been trying to locate and find it in the game for years. And now, with the arrival of the Lord of Hatred expansion, the long search is over, as the game's Secret Cow Level has finally been discovered by xGarbett on X. Check it out.

As expected, getting to the Secret Cow Level requires the use of the new Horadric Cube crafting system, where three items (a Stamina Potion, Rusten Bardiche weapon, and Neyrelle's Hand) transform into a mysterious Torn Page. From there, a boat appears on the coastline of the new Skovos region, which takes you to the Secret Cow Level island. This first part of the mystery was solved a couple of days ago, with Diablo fans spending the time since trying to solve the mysteries of the island to actually open the portal to the for-real Secret Cow Level.

Turns out that, like Diablo 2 and Diablo 3, once you do it's a large area or dungeon filled with cow enemies and the return of the Cow King boss. A new boss that drops a special new Mythic Item called 'The Cow King's Helm.' And when it comes to the helm's stats and affixes, it's a fun little nod to Diablo 4's launch from the Blizzard team.

Basically, wearing The Cow King's Helm offers different comedic buffs and bonuses depending on the day of the week it is. For example, if it's Tuesday, the effect is a "10% Decreased chance to be unlucky against yay-Distant enemies. A yay-Distant enemy is between 3-18 hooves equal distant when placed parallel to the equator on this afternoon." Funny stuff, and a clear nod to the convoluted affixes that items in Diablo 4 featured at launch, which led to the 'Damage on Tuesday' meme due to there being so many conditions surrounding bonuses. The Blizzard team even made t-shirts featuring the meme that they wore during community livestreams for the game before overhauling the itemization.

Expect full guides and features on how to fully access Diablo 4's Secret Cow Level to appear online in the coming days. In the meantime, if you're interested in taking on the Cow King, be sure to follow xGarbett's posts on social media for more insights and information on the now-solved mystery.
