The Secret Cow level in Diablo 4 Season 2 is a fun and challenging dungeon that players can access by completing a quest and collecting three Relics. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to find and clear the secret cow level in Diablo 4.

How to Find the Secret Cow Level in Diablo 4 Season 2

Finding the Hints to Access the Cow Level

To access the secret cow level in Diablo 4, you must first gather hints from the fountain in Ked Bardu. These hints guide you to drop items in the water and engage in a bovine battle. Here are the hint sources:

• The Oxen God of the East Statue: This statue stands as a guardian to the sacred fountain. It’s said that making a worthy offering, cleansed in these waters, will grant you a blessing.
• The Old Tablet: This crumbling stone contains a few discernable words, hinting at the need to “spill their blood to be deemed worthy.”

Obtaining the Three Relics

To unlock the secret cow level, you must collect and cleanse three Relics, tied to the number of cows you’ve vanquished across Sanctuary. The 666th cow you slay drops a Relic, and the type of Relic depends on the region in which you defeat this special cow. Here’s how to obtain all three Relics:

• Bloody Wooden Shard: Kill the 666th cow in Kehjistan or Hawezar, and the loot will include this Relic.
• Intricate Metallic Fragment: Kill the 666th cow in Dry Steppes, and the loot will include this Relic.
• Musty Tome: Kill the 666th cow in Fractured Peaks or Scosglen, and the loot will include this Relic.

A few important points to note:

• You can only obtain one Relic per character per week.
• The Relics are global drops, meaning other players in the world can collect them. This allows for cooperative grinding, but the cow level opens only for the player holding the key.

Cleansing the Relics and Accessing the Cow Level

After acquiring the Relics, head back to the fountain in Ked Bardu. Drop the items into the water to cleanse them, enabling interaction with the remaining Oxen God statues. This interaction eventually yields the Strange Key.

The next step is to head to the Forlorn Hovel in Diablo 4. This is where the cow level resides, located on the eastern edge of Highland Winds in Scosglen. Using the Strange Key, you can enter the Cellar. Note that the key will be consumed during this process, but the dungeon remains permanently unlocked for you. In a party, other players will need to teleport in.

Inside the cow level, you’ll encounter cows observing the villagers they’ve defeated. Your objective is to defeat all these cows, and the last one you defeat will drop a Stamina Potion, a consumable with a unique status effect lasting 5 minutes. While it doesn’t trigger any additional content, it marks the culmination of the cow level quest.
