The "'''Secret Cow Level'''," a favorite joke/absurd rumor from [[Diablo I]], packed full of [[Hell Bovine]]s, is a reality in [[Diablo II]] -- an Easter Egg/joke that's actually quite fun and profitable. It was so profitable that the Cow Level was the most popular area to "run" in v1.09, thanks to the huge cow herds, good experience, and low danger to players. In v1.10 and later the experience was nerfed and the area is no longer so popular, but can still provide players with some fun and profitable play experiences. | The "'''Secret Cow Level'''," a favorite joke/absurd rumor from [[Diablo I]], packed full of [[Hell Bovine]]s, is a reality in [[Diablo II]] -- an Easter Egg/joke that's actually quite fun and profitable.

You can open the [[Red Portal]] to the cow level as many times as you like, providing you don't get credit for killing the king. Credit is given if you kill him yourself, or he dies at the hand of another player who has never killed him before, while you are in the Cow Level. Being partied or not has no effect on the credit for the quest, it only matters who actually gets '''the last hit''' on King. | |||
If they have previously gotten credit for completing the cow quest (which means they can '''not''' open the red portal) then nothing will change. If the character who gets the last hit on the [[Cow King]] can open the red portal, then they will receive credit for completing the quest and no longer be able to open the red portal. Worse yet, everyone else in the Cow Level, whether they are partied or not, will also receive credit for completing the quest (if they didn't have it already) and will no longer be able to open the Red Portal. | If they have previously gotten credit for completing the cow quest (which means they can '''not''' open the red portal) then nothing will change.

If you've already killed the king or gotten credit for killing him when someone else did, you can't open the red portal anymore, but you can still enter the red portal when someone else opens it up. | If you've already killed the king or gotten credit for killing him when someone else did, you can't open the red portal anymore, but you can still enter the red portal when someone else opens it up. | ||
