The last issue introduced the origin of "Cow Level" and its performance in Diablo II. Now let's talk about other stories of the Cow King after Diablo II…
The dark gold monster is the name of the first category of Darkness (there is no elite monster and BOSS in Diablo 1, only the dark gold monster and the dark metal are distinguished). This title is equivalent to the later elite monsters and BOSS, so the dark gold monster is unified. Article classification. The order of introduction is basically based on the order of chapters, not the order of appearance in the game (to put it bluntly, it depends on my mood…). In addition, due to the word limit of the question, the length of the article will be different depending on the length of the story of the dark monster. The introduction will be adjusted as much as possible to prevent the article from being too short and causing discomfort in reading.
Note: 1. The names of the characters are all transliterated according to research or known to the world as much as possible, no objection is allowed. 2. There is no distinction in the plot and it directly includes the plot related to the expansion pack "Diablo II: Lord of Destruction" (it is the fifth act in the game~). 3. All the information involved in the character introduction is based on the official release (Blizzard Dad) and is not made up by my own imagination.
The harmonious feature film begins——
Social Cow King colorful eggs, three generations of family rainbow pass – The Cow King (The Cow King)
Since the official appearance of Diablo 2, "Cow Level" has received unanimous praise and love from the majority of Blizzard players. Diablo 2 has also been praised by the world as a classic in the game. But when Diablo III came in a long time ago, although the game resolution has been greatly improved with the improvement of production technology, the unique gothic dark style in the past has completely disappeared, and the bright and colorful style has made old players dissatisfied. And jointly protested everywhere. Blizzard's dad still goes his own way, and even released the cartoon version of Diablo III's logo to tease fans, which is simply going against the grain…
Diablo III cartoon version logo: Happy Blizzard, Happy Diablo~
Although Blizzard talks tough, it is still honest. It quickly put rainbow unicorns and other easter eggs into Diablo III, turning it into the easter egg level in Diablo III – Fantasy County (yes, this is the official translation of Secondary 2, It was the former "Happy Valley"). Although there is no direct connection with the past "Cow Level", if you want to enter this Easter egg, it has something to do with the Cow King. Although some connections are only the body left by the Cow King who was eliminated by the player in Diablo 2 (about the card We’ll talk about the Nemo Box later).
The entrance to Whimsy County (formerly Happy Valley), a crack in the old Tristram Trail, pay attention to the body of the Cow King in the upper left corner
After passing the gap with the cowherd, the soul of the Cow King will appear and chat with you, and then the entrance to the easter egg will be opened.
It will tell players that there is no "cow level" in Diablo III! ! ! (Some of the inaccuracies are due to the official translation…)
As for the wonderful (blind eyes) setting in the easter egg, it has nothing to do with our article, so I won’t introduce it. You are welcome to come and observe it in the game (be careful with your eyes to avoid cute explosions…). Although the content in the level has nothing to do with us, the ghost of the Cow King before entering the door is related to us, so we still have to introduce how to summon its ghost here. After all, this is also one of the easter eggs.
I have collected enough (don’t ask me where I did all the farming…) and go to the blacksmith to make a cattle battle.
Got the key~
Ding~ Open sesame, quickly enter Fantasy County and blind your eyes~
Although "Fantasy County" also shows Blizzard's approach of listening to public opinion, there is no real cow level. The wave of player carnival that this easter egg can bring (player: slightly hard to show respect…) is far less than that of "cow level" .
Blizzard discovered that the "Fantasy County" easter egg did not trigger a phenomenal response, so after installing Kanai's Box in the game, it finally removed the ultimate weapon, the Cow Level (note: the official stated that Diablo 3 does not have a Cow Level) ~) was released again. But the cattle-fighting treasure of the Cowherd Guard has already been used on the Rainbow Unicorn (i.e., "Fantasy County"). What should be used as the key to open the "Cow Pass"? So they lost the Cow King's ax.
After the player owns the Ox King Halberd and Axe, he only needs to put it into Kanai's Magic Box, and then "one click, you have the cow" (I won't introduce the chosen person who opens the cow in the small secret realm. …), although in the Diablo III era, there will not be a big harvest like before…
The easter egg weapon that will be dropped in Diablo 3 – Ox King Halberd and Axe (My condolences to the intelligent and agile heroes such as demon hunters…)
The orthodox Cow Level ends here in Diablo III, but perhaps Blizzard has also discovered that this "Cow Level" is not the other "Cow Level". The changes of the times, the changes of players, and the differences in knowledge and experience have all made Easter eggs have become classic here and are more difficult than before. In order to make "Cow Level" praised by players again and again, Blizzard gave players an important one in the subsequent Easter egg event-"The Blackening of Tristram" The opportunity to relive the past, through activities, players will get the last memories of "Cow Level", the Easter egg pet – the little emperor cow, so that the "Cow Level" that sometimes disappears can always be by the player's side, accompanying the heroes. adventure (but in fact, this easter egg indicates that the "Cow Level" was created because the player went back in time and stole the Cow King's child, causing the Ox King to become furious).
That's for sure that his status is not low. Maybe he will be able to equip the Ox King Halberd and Ax in the future so that he can inherit his legacy…
Why do you need this map with a weird name? Because it requires players to travel through time and space to steal cattle…
The journey of the Ox King in Diablo III has come to an end for now, but the journey of the Ox King in Blizzard is far from over. In World of Warcraft (the 20th anniversary event of Diablo), players are also fortunate to have a glimpse of the Ox King (this is not a cow, but a real Ox King!). The numerous Easter egg items dropped are very economical and affordable. But as a PVP map, please be careful…

The most important easter egg – the cow's Luo Jiabo ax (i.e. the Ox King's halberd ax in Diablo III)
Finally, let me reveal a little Easter egg (whisper bb…). As early as the ancient Diablo 3 inner period, there was a dialog box that was hidden and only open to internal testers. After entering "Space Cow (that is)", it will trigger A special animation of a space cow playing the music of Nyan Cat (yes, that’s right, the cow really went up to the sky~)

Official quirky aesthetic (thanks to official images)
That’s right, the cow has gone to heaven, long live the cow ~ (Thanks to the official picture)
This ends the introduction of the Cow King. The introduction of the Dark Metal Monster will continue in the next article. Thank you for your support. See you in the next issue.
