Diablo 4 Players unearth clues to mythical cow level, despite Blizzard's denial

Blizzard denies the existence of a cow level in Diablo 4, but players claim to have found evidence of a ritual that could unlock it. Cow-themed joke levels have been a part of the Diablo series, and players have discovered intriguing items and hidden locations in the game's files that challenge Blizzard's statement.

The focus of speculation is a fountain with ox statues in Diablo 4's Ked Bardu region. Interacting with the statues triggers a message about "The Oxen Gods" and the need for cleansing offerings. Players are now on a quest to acquire the necessary items for the ritual.

On the D4 - Not Finding A Cow Level Discord server, players have compiled a summary of items found through datamining. The list includes the Metallic Fragment, Bloody Wooden Shard, and Musty Tome, reminiscent of Diablo 2's Wirt's Leg and Tome of Town Portal used to access its cow level.

Although the ritual components have yet to be found in the game, extracted text suggests they drop from unique world events scattered across the map. Players would then cleanse the items at the fountain, obtaining a secret key to a hidden cellar and potentially unlocking the cow level.

Finding these world events proves challenging as they occur randomly in Diablo 4's open world. Players are determined to locate them in zones like Hawezar, Kehjistan, Dry Steppes, Scosglen, and Fractured Peaks, where relics may be found.
