==Expansion changes==
Very few things changed for the Expansion. A character must kill [[Baal]] to be eligible to enter, rather than [[Diablo]], but that's about it. The value and difficulty of the cows has fluctuated from patch to patch, and may yet change again in future versions of the game. In v1.09 the Cow Level was among the most profitable areas in the game, and was the most popular since it was so easy to rack up huge experience quickly. It became less valuable in v1.10, when the experience given by the cows was cut and their item dropping lowered.
==Trivia==
* There was no truth behind the rumours of a cow level in Diablo I.
* Even though this level exists, the aforementioned jokes on the topic is still referred to by {{iw|Blizzard_Entertainment Blizzard}}, saying "there is no Cow Level".
* The item set named [[Cow King's Leathers]], can only be found in the Secret Cow Level.
* The cheat code to skip a level in StarCraft refers to the Diablo I rumour. In order to skip a level, the player has to write "There Is No Cow Level" (obviously, it does exist in Diablo II).
* In {{iw|WarCraft_III WarCraft III: Frozen Throne}} playing the chapter "Curse of the Blood Elves", there is a 'Secret Sheep Level' that can be accessed. It's basically Blizzard's version of a Tower Defense. In the course of unlocking, many sheep are involved, giving it's name, referencing the Secret Cow Level.
* {{iw|World_of_WarCraft World of WarCraft]] features an item called Cow King's Hide to reference the secret level.
* A free web enhancement to {{Iw|To_Hell_and_Back To Hell and Back}} and {{iw|Diablerie Diablerie}} called {{iw|Secret_Cow_Level_(DnD) the Secret Cow Level}} emulates the cow level in the RPG with statistics for the enemy cows.
* In The Six Sacred Stones, a novel by Matthew Reilly's, a pair of supporting character twins frequently sport shirts saying "I have seen the Cow level!" and subsequently "There is no cow level!"
