We’ve been really focused on trying to keep it as grounded as possible,” Fergusson said. “We wanted to make sure it felt authentic to the kind of gothic, dark themes we have.


In an interview with Kinda Funny Games (thanks, IGN), producer Rod Fergusson said the cow level was omitted from Diablo IV in an effort to keep the world grounded. However, it doesn’t sound like Diablo IV is keeping up with this long-held tradition, but that hasn’t stopped players from trying to find it. Not The Cow Level is a secret zone accessible by putting a Bovine Bardiche into Kanai's Cube and clicking 'Transmute'. This gag is such a prominent fixture in the series that there’s even a Wikipedia page for it. It first debuted in Diablo II, then made an appearance in Diablo III. This refers to a secret area that is filled with weapon-toting cows who attack the player should they be unfortunate enough to stumble upon it.

One of the recurring gags in the Diablo series is the secret cow level.
