Blizzard Entertainment has been around for about 27 years and has given players hundreds of fond memories. From the rise of the Lich King, to swarms of Zerglings, to the founding of Overwatch. With Blizzard’s love for storytelling and world-building also comes their love for easter eggs and hidden secrets. Who could fo꧂rget the fantastic dialogue from the characters in Warcraft 3 when players clicked on them a bunch, revealing not only more depth of character but also making players laugh at the more serious moments of the story when a little comedic relief was more than welcome?
With Blizzard Entertainment’s love for secrets also comes their love 🌠for introducing little, hidden locations for those daring enoughꦍ to explore further into the vast worlds given to them. Hundreds of hours have been spent trying to solve the puzzles for hidden locations locked behind doors.
Take Diablo 3. The world of Sanctuary is home to many angels and demons, and, as players know, ludicrous amounts of loot waiting to be plundered by some lucky adventurer. Who would have known that there was so much tucked away into Diablo 3's world, just waiting to be discovered? There are tons of hidden details for anyone daring enough to look for them. Here's a deeper look into the dark fantasy world of Diablo 3 and its hidden zones.
Updated July 17, 2021 by Russ Boswell: With Diablo 4 approaching sometime (hopefully) in the near future, players are craving a new adventure more than ever. Blizzard has fans anxiously awaiting the next installment in the iconic series but many fans are revisiting Diablo 3 to better prepare for the future. Better yet, new fans are finally entering the dark and gritty ARPG universe. With so much to see and do in Diablo 3, it's easy to understand why players may miss some of Diablo 3's hidden levels. There are many Diablo 3 secrets to uncover, with easter eggs, levels, and loot, waiting to be discovered. To showcase Diablo 3's secrets, and in anticipation of Diablo 4, this guide has been updated for clarity with better photos and information. Veterans and new players to the series should absolutely check out these Diablo 3 secrets.
25 Whimsyshire ꦦ
Truthfully the most terrifying area in all of Diablo 3’s setting, with imposing enemies such as unicorns, teddy bears, and pink flowers. In order to enter into this weird landscape, players have to acquire a black mushroom, Leoric’s shinbone, liquid rainbow, Wirt’s bell, Gibbering gemstone, and the staff of herding. Once players have spent a mass amount of time to get those items, they'll have to have the Staff of Herding in their inventory and head over to the Old Tristin Road. There will be a cow and a portal will open up to the mysterious Whimsyshire.
24 𒁏 Development Heck
Blizzard Entertainment's clever idea for an end credits scene is found in the Cemetery of the Forsaken as a defiled crypt. Inside players can find enemies with names such as Jay Wilson and other mundane human names.
Finding one's own name or a similar namesake must be quite surprising to players not understanding the gimmick of a hidden end credits area. Blizzard’s innovation never ceases to amuse players with making them end their own employees in a dungeon crawling adventure.
23 Quality Well 𓆏
Similar to the defiled crypt with the haunting names, including Max Schaefer, the Quality Well is a dungeon that spawns in the Old Ruins in Tristin Road. Only this time, it’s the Quality Assurance team members. That's one way to get their names in Diablo.
This is another welcomed thank you from those at Blizzard Entertainment. It’s nice seeing those who spent long hours getting the recognition they deserve, even if it's in a way that players have to hunt to find.
22 Leoric's Gardens
What makes this area hard to find is that many gamers could play through the entire game and never find it, simply because it’s up to chance if they are actually able to go into the gardꦺens. There are several more areas that are al✨so locked away by chance.
This garden is hidden away and only accessible by a por💫tal generated at random. This particular area is only accessed by adventure mode and whenever players find this portal one of four different bount൲ies will be available to them.
21 ꧂ Not The Cow Level
Taking a page out of Diablo 2’s secret cow level, the Not The 💦Cow Level can be accessed by finding Herald ♚to the Queen. Defeat her and a portal will open into bovine madness. Watch out for legions of cow-based enemies that will do everything they can do to make sure players don’t want to come back.
Once inside, t♐here are events where players can fight the Cow Queen while being assaulted with cow-based puns by the ghost of the Cow King.
20 Kanai’s St𝓰omping Grounds
Just when you thought Blizzard couldn’t add any more cow-based levels. Kanai’s Stomping Grounds can be found in a portal created by King Kanai in the Immortal Throne. Honestly, the added comedic relief to a dark game is very relieving to ha🙈ve.
Within the stomping grounds are a couple of chests, as well as infernal bovine that can be found waiting inside for any adventurer seeki🔥ng to make a few hamburgers out of that pesky livestock.
19 The♕🍒 Eternal Woods
The Eternal Woods are part of the many zones players can find within adventure mode. The woods are relatively small in comparison to most areas, but is home to a few dozen skeleton hordes and hungry yetis, all ready to show their blade or teeth🐭.
To access the Eternal Woods, find the Ruins of Sescheron and head away from the gates. An ꧃otherwise passable area, these woods are still home to that sweet, sweet loot that all Diablo players crave.
18 ꦜ 🧸 Mysterious Cave
If players aren’t loo💦king for it, most will outright miss this cave. Lots of little crannies in this area make this cave easily passable as just another dead end. This mysterious cave can be found in one o💝f two areas in the Dahlgur desert.
Withi🥀n this mysterious cave, rainbow liquid can be found, which is needed to enter the horrible Whimsyshire level. Blizzard also used number-🧜naming for this cave to add to its mysterious ways.
17 Roy꧅al Quarters
The personal living quarters of King Leoric and his family members are free to plunder if players can find the way to get into the quarters. Originally obstruc🌱ted by debris, now cleared away by adventure mode, the home of the former can be found in Leoric’s haunted mansion. There’s notও much living in the quarters, honestly.
However, if players can find Queen Asyllan’s ghost, and follow it, they'll be led to some well-deserved loot and a ton of lore to read through.
16 ꦓ Treasure Realm 𓃲
This is one of the more satisfying places that players will find themselves wandering into, since it's filled with tons of gold and loot to plunder. The Treasure Realm is called many different things, such as the Vault of Greed’s Realm, and is home to many a treasure goblin and Greed herself. Millions of gold coins are available to those lucky enough to stumble upon this world.
Players ca⛦n get into the Treasure Realm ♔by finding a treasure goblin. After the goblin is defeated, there is a small chance of a portal opens into this gold-filled world.
