Getting into The Secret Cow Level isn't about finding it, you will need to find Wirt's Leg Tome of Town Portal Horadric Cube

Finding Tristram

Tristram's red Portal is found in the middle of Cairns Stones inside the Stony Field once you have opened it within the 3rd Quest line in Act 1. Cairns Stones will always be close to the road that connects the Cold Plains using the Underground Passage. The Waypoint is situated randomly within the area. Follow these steps to quickly see them:

Enter the Stony Field with the Waypoint.

Check your map for any yellow cross all the time! It is the location of the red Portal!

If you want to skip farming or leveling, you can take a quick look at our diablo 4 items and d2r items for sale!

When you discover the path, stay near it.

Reduce Magic Find

This might sound counterintuitive for any farming guide, but The Secret Cow Level is better utilized to farm Base Items, Runes, Flawless Gems, Charms, and Jewel Jewel

High Player Count

A high player count boosts the number of items dropping at 3/5/7 players which increases the time for dropping good Base Items, Runes, Flawless Gems, Charms, and Jewel

Keep Your Distance

Hell Bovines just use melee attacks which deal significant Physical Damage. Stay away from them whenever you lack Damage Reduction and/or a Chance to Block. With the Build Recommendations below, you ought to have no problem keeping your distance.

Kill The Cow King

Unlike Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction, you don't have to be scared of killing The Cow King because it doesn't stop you from opening The Secret Cow Level in the future. When going for any high Magic Find setup, he's the best supply of Unique and Set Items. He resides in the little fortress, that is randomly placed within The Secret Cow Level.

Assassin - Lightning Sentry

Corpse Explosion Death Sentry

The Trapsin advantages of the high mobility of Burst of Speed Enigma

Barbarian - War Cry / Whirlwind

For the Barbarian The Secret Cow Level is a bad area to farm because he specializes in Physical Damage.

The Singer Barbarian is the very best option when running on a low budget. Due to the Stun from War Cry

With a bit more investment, you can begin to "spin to win". With less than the Immortal King Set, this build-out scales the Singer due to the Area of Effect.

Druid - Fissure

Druid’s smartest choice is to go Fire when farming The Secret Cow Level. It requires a decent quantity of gear to work well in Hell difficulty. It feels much better than the can all, do all Wind Druid build.

Necromancer - Poison Nova

Corpse Explosion Poison Nova Corpse Explosion

Paladin - Blessed Hammer

The Hammerdin profits from high mobility from Charge Vigor Teleport Enigma Blessed Hammer

Sorceress - Blizzard / Lightning

The Sorceress is extremely mobile because of the built-in Teleport

As a starter build, the Blizzard Sorceress is extremely consistent at killing cows. She only is overtaken by the Lightning Sorceress when she's access to Infinity.
