Diablo 3: How to find the secret level

Also in Diablo 3 you can find a secret level again, in which Blizzard has hidden a large portion of wacky humor. "Not cow", as the level was referred to as an allusion to the permanent gag since Diablo 2, requires a bit more work than its predecessor. We explain how you open the way to the colorful adventure world.

With the shepherd's stick in hand to the secret level in Diablo 3

To reach the county of Launebach (original Whimsyshire), you must have successfully completed the difficulty of your choice and create a magic wand from five ingredients. Get the blueprint for Shepherd's Staff (Normal), Nightmare Shepherd's Staff (Nightmare), Hellish Shepherd's Staff (Hell) or Infernal Shepherd's Staff (Inferno). You can get the normal person in Act IV from Izual, the improved versions can be bought in higher difficulty from the dealer next to the healer in the bastion for a little gold after you have defeated Izual. Bring recipes to the blacksmith to learn how to make the staff. You need five ingredients that you can only find yourself:

1. Black mushroom: To be found in the cathedral (level 1) in act I. The find is random.
2. Leoric's Shin: Located in Act I's Leoric Mansion in the east hearth. The find is random.
3. Wirts Kuhglocke: You can find it in Act II of the little trader Krümelchen - either at the bazaar or in your warehouse. The bell is available at any time for 100, 000 gold.
4. Rainbow Water: Located in the southeast of the oasis in Act II after the rescue of Zaven, the alchemist. It is best to jump to the waypoint "Weg zur Oase" and look for the random event from there. However, even if Zaven shows up, there is no guarantee that you will receive the rainbow water.
5. Kauderwelschstein: Located in the Caverns of Frost in Act III during the quest "Heart of Sin". Jump to the waypoint "Korsikk Bridge" and look for the random cave. In level 2 you will luckily come across the Boss Chiltara, from whom you can get the stone.

With the ghost cow in the pony world

With the five ingredients, go to the blacksmith and have the staff built. If you want to upgrade it for a higher level of difficulty, you only need the new recipe. You don't have to search for the ingredients again. You can also use it in the lower challenges. So equipped, you jump into the first act and set off for Alt-Tristram. Shortly before Tristram you see a crater that glows mysteriously red and a carcass that is right next to it. With the staff in your luggage, you click on the dead cow and a ghost appears that opens the rainbow-colored portal for you. If you jump in here, you will reach the exaggeratedly colorful pony world of Diablo 3. Caution: the monsters here are as strong as in Act IV, although the portal starts from Act I.

The problem may not be as present as it was when the game was released. However, if you want to know whether your server is available at all before starting, we recommend the Diablo 3 server checker for your smartphone.
