There are many more details to learn in Cheng’s full thread, so be sure to check it out for more information. This was eventually scrapped, as according to Cheng it put “player build choices at odds with player fantasy”. Players could have made good or bad dialogue choices, and certain skills or items would have required a certain number of demonic or angelic alignment points. 1/īlizzard also experimented with an “angelic/demonic” system inspired by the light side versus dark side morality system found in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The idea was that the narrative choices you made would influence your character and its development. Though I haven’t yet had time to try this out for myself, it sure looks like an awful lot of fun.We experimented with an “angelic/demonic” influence system several times both in Blizzard North and again when the project was restarted in Irvine.
Take the staff to the open red glowing crevasse on Old Tristram Road in Act 1, use the staff and accept the quest. Using all the items found above, the recipe for the Staff of Herding, and 50,000 gold. The recipe for the Staff of Herding drop of Izual in Act 4. This is in the same area that you destroy the ballistics. Gibbering Gemstone drops from Chiltara a rare spawn in the Frozen Cave Act 3. Wirts Bell from a vendor in the Bazaar Act 2. To enter the cave you must find a random spawn vendor in the Oasis. Liquid Rainbow in a Mysterious Cave from a Mysterious chest in the Oasis Act 2. Leorics Shinbone from the fireplace in Leorics Manor in Act 1. The Black Mushroom from Cathedral level 1 in Act 1. Here’s the full Whimsyshire recipe, again from Force Strategy Gaming: So, again, some spoiler-ish information follows below. While getting to the Diablo II Cow Level was relatively straightforward, getting to Whimsyshire requires items from all the acts of the game, and some of those items can only be obtained during rare random events. The video discusses some minor spoiler-ish details about Diablo III, so consider yourself warned. Here’s a look at the level, from Force Strategy Gaming. Whimsyshire, by contrast, is more in line with a joke that players can just have fun with. This might be a response to criticism that the original Cow Level had too many rare items and was too good a place for grinding that it actually broke the game. Interestingly, Whimsyshire seems to be low on high-level monsters and has no big boss to fight. However, the company has taken it a step further with Whimsyshire, which is a happy-happy My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic-style level sodden with rainbows and crawling with animated flowers, teddy bears, and sparkly unicorns. At the time, Blizzard released the image you see above as a response, calling it the official Diablo III logo. The secret level in Diablo III is called Whimsyshire, and is apparently a result of the complaints after the game’s unveiling two years ago that it was too cartoony and colorful. Spoiler-ish information and a video follow below.
Now, it seems that Diablo III has a secret cow level of its own.
References and persistent denials about the Cow Level have become as much a part of Blizzard as delays and obsessive secrecy. It began as a rumor in the original Diablo and only became reality in the second game. In my writeup of the Diablo lore in preparation for the release of Diablo III, I neglected to mention the (in)famous Cow Level.
