I'm sorry..I just can't think of putting something called a "Meatbeast" between my barbarian's legs without going VERY bad places. *falls over laughing*

Courts of Al'Afaz?

Meatbeast is grazing in the lush green grass of Shimmering Citeadel. He only spawns if you're on the quest to kill him. I still have the quest open as I have fallen madly in love with him <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> The way he scratches his belly as he eats...snicker <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

He wouldn't make a suitable mount for halflings. We'd roast him with some nice po-ta-toes on the side.

[Mantell]

Do you happen to recall where to pick up that quest?

[Rijacki]

Shimmering Citadel and Courts of Al'Afaz were the names of places I couldn't remember <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I didn't know the Meatbeast was part of a quest. I've only seen him once, the first time I went to Shimmering Citadel with a couple of guildmates when there were still access quests to there and Poet's Palace.  I've still not finished either of those access quests *sigh*.  But.. I want to know about the Meatbeast quest, too!

[Mwahaha]

<p>Actually that mob is in Diablo 2 with the rest of his buddies.</p>

[Mystfit]

It's an off shoot of the Poet's Palace Access quest. I say off shoot, cause you don't have to do it to get access. Get the Master's Museum quest from Keldar the Curator,  do that quest, get Visit the Scriptorium and finish that. THen you can speal to Scriptorium Assisant Armo to get Assistant to the Scriptorium's Assistant. THis is the quest that spawns Meatbeast. I leave this quest open and have been known to drop groups who try to kill him <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Supposedly, if the cow was clicked on a certain number of times, a portal to a secret level would open. The rumor was a hoax, but the legend was born, and player after player asked Blizzard about how to access the level.</p><p>In <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo:_Hellfire" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Diablo: Hellfire</a></i>, the only expansion to the original <i>Diablo</i> (This "expansion" is actually considered an "add-on", since it was not an official release, but instead released by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Entertainment" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sierra Entertainment</a>), it was possible to change a parameter in a specific text file (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Diablo%3A+Hellfire+Command.txt" target="_blank">Command.txt</a>), so that the farmer who gives out the "rune bomb" quest was dressed in a cow suit, with appropriate new dialogue ("Moo." "I said Moo!&quot<img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. This added fuel to the fire. To kill the rumor, Blizzard included a cheat (that automatically won the game) in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">StarCraft</a> that read "There is no cow level", this being Blizzard's way of officially confirming that there was, in fact, no Cow Level.^{<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_Level#_note-1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">[2]</a>} Among online game enthusiasts, this phrase has become an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Internet</a> joke similar to the phrase <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_Is_No_Cabal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">There Is No Cabal</a>.</p><p>On April 1, 1999, a <i>Diablo II Screenshot of the Week</i> featured cows fighting. People wondered if the screenshot was an April Fool's joke or if there really was a Secret Cow Level planned for Diablo II. It turned out that there <i>was</i> a cow level. To access the level, one must kill Diablo (or, in <i>Lord of Destruction</i>, kill Baal), return to Rogue Encampment in Act I within the same difficulty level, and then transmute Wirt's Leg with a Tome of Town Portal in the Horadric Cube. This will open a portal to the secret level. There is an item set named "The Cow King's Leathers" which may only be collected in this secret level. When a player kills the Cow King they and everyone in their party will become unable to reopen the portal to the level on that difficulty level.</p>
