The search for the Diablo 4 cow level is much more than a cowspiracy (apologies) at this point. IGN spoke to the game's production developer Tiffany Wat, and associate game director Joe Piepiora at BlizzCon 2023 where hints were dropped, adding more fuel to the fire. It's not much to go on, but Wat may have hinted that players are heading in the right direction: «I will say, however, if people have picked up any items from their cow campaigns… cow slay-age campaign… they should hang on to them.»
After slaying 666 cows, Diablo 4 player makes major breakthrough in the hunt for the secret cow level
23.10.2023 - 21:29 / pcgamer.com
The Oxen Gods are finally pleased. After four months with no news, a Diablo 4 player has made a major discovery in the hunt for its supposedly non-existent secret cow level.
«Uh hey, so I just got the Musty Tome from a cow after killing about 666 of them (it was hard to count),» a user who goes by Grampajoe wrote in the Not Finding A Cow Level Discord server last night. «The cow died with a red curse effect and the tome dropped from it.»
A few minutes later, Grampajoe shared a video in which they find an item that was previously thought to be unattainable. The Musty Tome, along with the Bloody Wooden Shard and the Metallic Fragment, are references to old Diablo items, and are suspected to be involved in unlocking a secret cow level like the ones found in Diablo 2 and 3.
In July, Blizzard removed a quest from the game's files that had you use the relics to perform a cleansing ritual for the «The Oxen Gods». It was the existence of that quest that really ignited the hunt for the secret level, despite Blizzard saying that there was no secret level. The removal of the quest might've been taken to mean there really was no cow level, but in the last 24 hours, players have found all three relics off of Grampajoe's discovery and performed the ritual. Now they're trying to figure out what to do with a cellar full of cows, dead bodies, and a single stamina potion.
Here's what we know so far:
When you kill the Cow King in Diablo 2's cow level, he drops eight stamina potions as a funny nod to their milky color. The people in the Not Finding A Cow Level Discord have already tried drinking eight of them at once—among other things—to no avail.
Ideas are being thrown around by the minute, including using the potions during a throwback sequence in the campaign or counting the spots on the cellar cows and killing them in a specific order. Streamers, like Echohack, Raxxanterax, and AnnacakeLIVE, are on it now, too, searching for answers with the help of their viewers. These cows can't hide for long.
Unless, of course, the secret cow level isn't actually in Diablo 4 yet. The only thing Blizzard has said about it is that it doesn't exist, and neither the relics nor the Forlorn Hovel were mentioned in the most recent patch notes. Every clue so far has been found entirely by dataminers sifting through the files and players trying silly things like killing 666 cows. The next step might not show up until a future patch.
But just like last time, people won't stop looking until Sanctuary's cows have gone extinct.

Two unreleased zones for Diablo 4 were spotted in the localization strings of the Steam version. These can be found on SteamDB, a website that utilizes the Steam API to provide a plethora of information. Diablo 4 on SteamDB Diablo 4 Now Available On Steam Only two of the listed zones on SteamDB are not present in the current iteration of Diablo 4, these being Teganze Plains and Torajan Jungles. It is not the first time these zones have shown up in Diablo 4's game files. The zone names were first spotted in the earliest public beta builds of Diablo 4.Some of Diablo 4's localization strings found on SteamDB. The localization strings above, where these zone names were found, are used to show people's location in Sanctuary in the Battle.net friend list among other things. At the moment we can only speculate if these zones were cut early on in the development of Diablo 4 or if they are part of the game's first expansion. But where are the Teganze Plains and Torajan Jungles located and what role do they play in the history of Diablo? Let's take a look at the history of these two regions of Sanctuary!

Invincible and Frostmourne Come to Diablo 4 - The Steed of the Lich King, Invincible!
The legends and tales of Azeroth aren't just in World of Warcraft anymore — they've made their way to Sanctuary! What better way to honor the return of Icecrown Citadel in Wrath of the Lich King Classic than to bring everyone's favorite undead steed to Sanctuary? Blizzard has released a new mount in Tejal's Shop in Diablo 4, and it is none other than the faithful mount of the Lich King himself. Invincible will ride through the wilds of Sanctuary, exploring new lands and bringing the icy winds of Northrend to a whole new world. Invincible Aspect in the Diablo 4 StoreInvincible Aspect costs 2,500 platinum, or $24.99 USD. Sadly without flight capabilities (the people of Sanctuary like to keep their feet on the ground), Invincible Aspect is still the same mount we know and love, complete with icy Lich King styled particles.
