Wirt's LegPortal to Tristram can (still) be found at Cairn Stones in Stony Field after completing the Search for Cain in Act 1.
 Wirt's body can be found in west corner of Tristram, close to river. Click on it and Wirt's Leg and gold are dropped. Leg requires 1x3 inventory space to pick up, and it can only be picked up if one is not already equipped or present in inventory or stash.
ObjectiveAfter completing difficulty level by killing Diablo in Classic and Baal in Expansion, return to Rogue Encampment in Act 1 with Wirt's Leg and place it in Horadric Cube with Tome of Town Portal, which can be bought from Akara. Transmute anywhere in Rogue Encampment to create portal to Moo Moo Farm.
 Portal created while standing just inside Rogue Encampment may actually be created just outside in Blood Moor, resulting in it being labelled No Level Name rather than The Secret Cow Level. Despite this, it still leads to Moo Moo Farm.
 The Cow King is a Magic Resistant Lightning Enchanted Super Unique Hell Bovine normally located in or around south corner of corral, close to portal. He is always Immune to Lightning in Hell (165%), but also in Normal (115%) and Nightmare (140%). Accompanied by six minions in Normal, seven in Nightmare and eight in Hell.
