I finally killed him by myself (level 12 rogue). I filled my belt with healing potions and positioned myself in front of a staircase so I could make
a run for it. After beating on him and using all of my potions I run up/down the stairs and portal back to town to refill. It took about 15 mins but I got
his ass. After his dead you get his Great Ax. Also be sure to identify any objects before you sell them, you get more $$$$.

Was there a skeleton king in Diablo? It's been so long...
I only remember the Butcher. And I guess the end boss. Everything else
just blends into another.

I remember the cow level, or was the D2?

Yes, there was a skeleton king, and there were cows, but the cow level was
D2.

Yes, there was a skeleton king, and there were cows, but the cow level was D2.

Wasn't there a cow level in that 3rd party expansion that also had the
monk as a class?

You mean Hellfire. There was much silliness, but no cow level.

You mean Hellfire. There was much silliness, but no cow level.

There was, however, a cow-related quest (Jersey's Jersey) in Hellfire.
You had to locate Lester the Farmer's 'gray suit'. It was only
activatable through a hack. You were rewarded with Cow Armor, or some
such.

The quest itself was a reaction to rumors/jokes about a 'secret cow
level' in the original "Diablo". However, there were no actual cows
involved.


Side note: Here are the OFFICIAL D&D (3rd Edition) statistics for the
Hell Bovines found in Diablo II.

Hit Dice: 11d10+9 (70 hit points)
Initiative: -3 (-1 size, -2 Dex)
Speed: 20 ft.
AC: 15 (+8 nat., -1 size, -2 Dex)
Attacks: Poleaxe +14/+9/+4 melee
Damage: Poleaxe1d10+3/crit x3
Face/Reach: 5 ft. by 5 ft./10 ft.
Special Attacks: Rage, trample
Special Qualities: Damage reduction 10/-
Saves: F +8, R +4, W +3
Abilities: S17, D6, C15, I7, W10, Ch6
Skills: Intuit Direction +11
Feats: Cleave, Improved Bull Rush,
Power Attack
Climate/Terrain: Hell /the occasional slaughterhouse
Organization: Herd (10-1000)
CR: 9
Treasure: Standard
Alignment: Always lawful evil
Advancement: 12-16 HD (L); 17-29 HD (H)

And yes, these are official. There was official released-by-WOTC D&D
books that used the Diablo II license, and the Hell Bovine was one of
the included monsters.

Indeed, there was much banter in alt.games.diablo about using Wirt's leg to destroy all the barrels on some level or other in order to open the way to
the secret cow level. Much hilarity, no substance.
