In order to get to it, you must beat the game first just like in Diablo 2′s secret cow level.

Return to Act 1 and walk from New Tristram to the Old Tristram Road. You will find a red glowing pit with a cow in front of it. That’s the Cow King’s Ghost, a spectral bovine from Diablo 2.

Give him the Staff of Herding and he starts to talk. The red glowing pit then changes to a rainbow color and it becomes a clickable dungeon entrance.

Welcome to Whimsyshire – The Land of Killer Unicorns!

Inside, you will find unicorns, bears, rainbows, flowers and other sort of colorful things – a reference to complaints gathered by the game creators and designers that the game was too colorful and bright and too cartoonish.

When you enter it, you get a a Feat of Strength along with a Banner and Sigil. You can run the Whimsyshire level as many times as you want and you will get the In The Land Of Killer Unicorns Achievement for finding it.

Here’s a video of the Secret Unicorn Level:

Enjoy… and don’t take the game seriously.

While it has not been discovered yet, a secret level is also highly likely for Diablo 3.

It might have stemmed from criticisms gathered by the game creators and designers that the game was too colorful and bright and too cartoonish.

Some months later, a Diablo 3 Community Manager named Bashiok posted a photoshopped Diablo 3 screenshot featuring a unicorn apparently farting a rainbow. The “Secret Rainbow Level” or “Secret Pony Level” or “Secret Unicorn Level” was born.

After the beta release of the game, a mysterious crafting recipe was found for a certain Staff of Herding. The plans drops randomly from Izual on Act 4.

The recipe requires these ingredients: Wirt’s Cowbell, Black Mushroom, Liquid Rainbow, Gibbering Gemstone, Leoric’s Shinbone and to be crafted by a  Level 1 Blacksmith (Haedrig Eamon) for a cost of 50,000 gold.

All materials bind on pickup. They cannot be traded or sold.

Wirt’s Cowbell – this is of course an obvious reference to Wirt of Diablo 2. His leg along with a Scroll of Town Portal was one of the ingredients to be transmuted into the Horadric Cube in order to create the Secret Cow Level Portal.

It can be purchased in Act 2 from the NPC Squirt the Peddler in the Caldeum Bazaar. Find the item under the Miscellaneous tab and buy it for 100,000 gold.

“When the demons come, close your eyes and ring this… it takes you far, far away…” – Unknown

Black Mushroom – it can be found within the Cathedral in Act 1. When you click on the patch of Black Mushrooms, out pops a lone little Black Mushroom which you can pick up.

“The Witch Adria seeks a Black Mushroom? I know as much about Black Mushrooms as I do about Red Herrings. Perhaps Pepin the Healer could tell you more, but this is something that cannot be found in any of my stories or books.” – Deckard Cain

Liquid Rainbow – this is a reference to the early complaints that the game was looking too bright and colorful. It can be found from the Mysterious Cave in the Mysterious chest in the Oasis in Act 2. You will know it’s the right place when you save the old man and he opens it up. The spawn point is always the same for the event.

“The colors swirl and twist in hypnotic patterns.”

Gibbering Gemstone – drops from Chiltara in the caverns of frost Act 3 (the area where you destroy the ballistae) if you get Ice Caverns exit out and start a new game. The mob itself is random.

“It seems to be active but it’s difficult to tell.”

Leoric’s Shinbone – King Leoric was the ruler of Khanduras just prior to the events of Diablo I. He is known as the Black King and ultimately the Skeleton King. This item can be found at Leoric’s Manor by a fireplace.

“This charred piece of Leoric was clearly once connected to his ankle and knee.”

As of this posting, no one has yet found what is the purpose really of this Staff of Herding or how it can be used to open the secret level.

We will update this post once more details are revealed. You can even share them to us once you found unlocked the mystery of this artifact.

UPDATE May 16, 2012:

The secret level has been found! It’s called Whimsyshire – The Land of Killer Unicorns.

As the most anticipated video game in history, fans have been waiting for almost a decade for the release date of the third and final installment of Diablo. It even broke the pre-order record for a PC game on Amazon and once the game servers went live at 11PM GMT last night, thousands of players eager to play the game was met with error messages.

The most common error being Error 37, “The servers are busy at this time. Please try again later.”

The servers couldn’t handle the volume of traffic. The error practically locked the users out of the game including the single-player campaign.

There’s also error 75, “There is a temporary outage of the Battle.net service. Please try again later.” The launch of Diablo 3 today has caused a stress on Battle.net’s servers causing it to have problems.

Some were also greeted by Errors 3004, 3006, 3007 and 300008.

Blizzard advised,

“Please note that due to a high volume of traffic, login and character creation may be slower than normal. If you’re unable to login to the game or create characters, please wait and try again. We’ve temporarily taken our Battle.net websites offline and launched more servers to accommodate for the traffic. We hope to resolve these issues as soon as possible and appreciate your patience.”

Check out Blizzard’s technical support page to find help regarding this errors.

The solution they presented for Error 37 is somewhat funny,

“The only solution is to keep trying to log in.”

For an unprecedented third time in four years, Lebron James was recognized as the NBA’s Most Valuable Player.

In the process, “The King” became just the 8th player in league history to win that many MVP awards joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Moses Malone. He also becomes the first player since Michael Jordan to win at least three MVPs.

He could have made it four in a row after also winning in 2009 and 2010. But his streak was broken last year as he lost some voter’s confidence after he bolted out of the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in a much-publicized ‘The Decision’ hoopla.

His stats this season were almost similar to that of last season’s in which the award was won by Derrick Rose. He had 27.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists and 1.9 steals per game on 53 percent shooting while leading the Heat to a 46-20 mark and the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.

James received 85 of a possible 121 first-place votes from a panel of sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league, with fans on NBA.com combining for one vote. He earned 1,074 points, topping Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant (889 points, 24 first-place votes), the Los Angeles Clippers’ Chris Paul (385, six first-place votes), the Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant (352, two first-place votes), and San Antonio’s Tony Parker (331, four first-place votes).

This season, James was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Month twice (January and February), and he captured Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors six times, extending his NBA record for the most Player of the Week awards to 37. James has scored double-figure points in 419 consecutive career games, the seventh-longest streak in NBA history, behind Michael Jordan (866), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (streaks of 787 and 508), Karl Malone (575), Moses Malone (526), and Oscar Robertson (428).

Lebron understands that winning the award three times is nothing if he can’t get an NBA championship ring.

”I’d give all three of them back for an NBA championship. It’s all I care about. It’s all I know.”

As part of its support of the Most Valuable Player Award, Kia Motors America will donate a new Kia Sorento CUV to Akron Public School After School Program benefiting the Wheels for Education Program.

Known to many, he often makes cameo appearances in the movie adaptations of his comic book characters.

In the Avengers 2012 movie, he makes an appearance as one of the people being interviewed after The Avengers successfully repelled Loki and the Chitauri army.

Are they a threat, a hoax or real heroes?

Stan Lee’s character responds with,

“Superheroes in New York? Give me a break!”

He then returns to a game of chess with a fellow senior citizen.

Check out as well the equally amusing thanos mid-credits scene and shawarma ending scene.
