How to get to the Secret Cow Level in Diablo 2 Resurrected

To get to the Secret Cow Level in Diablo 2 Resurrected:

• Complete the game on the difficulty in which you want to open the Secret Cow Level (Normal, Nightmare, or Hell).
• Obtain Wirt’s Leg from Tristram.
• Obtain one Tome of Town Portal from Akara.
• Transmute Wirt’s Leg and the Tome of Town Portal in the Horadric Cube.
• Enter the Secret Cow Level.

That’s how you open the Secret Cow Level in Diablo 2 Resurrected. There are some slight changes in this version in comparison to vanilla Diablo 2. Killing the Cow King now no longer locks you out of the Secret Cow Level, and that means you can now fully clear the level and not have to worry about not being able to rerun it.

In the olden days, when dinosaurs still roamed the earth, if you locked yourself out of the Secret Cow Level, you would need to rely on other players to open the portal. It was a minor inconvenience, to say the least.
