One of the recurring gags in the Diablo Series is the secret cow level. This refers to a secret area filled with weapon-wielding cows that will attack the player if they are unlucky enough to stumble across it. It debuted for the first time in Diablo IIthen performed in Diablo III. This gag is such an important part of the series that it even exists Wikipedia book page for this. However, it doesn’t sound like it Diablo IV maintains this long-standing tradition, but that hasn’t stopped players from searching for her.
In an interview with Some fun games (Thanks, IGN), producer Rod Fergusson said the cow layer was left out Diablo IV in an effort to keep the world on the ground.
“We wanted to make sure it was authentic to the gothic, dark themes we have. We really focused on keeping it as grounded as possible,” Fergusson said. “And that’s why there’s no secret level Diablo IV that people might be looking for, like previous games. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be any more in the future.”
Fergusson says one thing, but parts of it Diablo The community doesn’t believe him. There is a Long thread on the game’s subreddit of fans coordinating searches across the game world. One user is convinced that a cow-level “mysterious portal” could be opened and has been trying to figure out if an altar near the entrance to hell could be the key to finding out where the violent cows could be hiding and to go to a well surrounded by four oxen pointing north, south, east, and west. Some of the reasons for doubt stem from some pretty profound references to Diabloit’s in the past. There’s a bloody sliver of wood with the letter “W” engraved on its side, which fans believe refers to Wirt’s wooden leg, and a musty tome that could be a tome of the town portal, both of which are needed were made to achieve the original hidden level in Diablo II.
Another user consistently tested cows Diablo IVWe want to find out in the world if they have any connection with the hypothetical secret layer, like killing them or using certain emotes around them. But as of this writing, no one has found the secret cow level yet Diablo IV. Perhaps Fergusson is telling the truth, and there is no cow level in the new game. But he could also lie. And that uncertainty keeps curious players searching.
