Do not kill the Cow King, or you will not be able to go back to the Cow Level on that difficulty setting.

The cows are tough. I only survived the cows when i used a hack character that was the functional equivalent of He-man with dual bastard swords. :D

Well... you could always re-create a Paladin and pump everything into Thorns. :D Then, when you walk in and the cows kill themselves when they hit you, die a couple times, go back, etc. you can pick up the special items and hack the player files -taking the special items from the paladin and putting them in the inventory of the sorc. :)

That's the guy that I'm playing right now. 20 points in Thorns for 1010% back in damage. :D

<< Better yet how do you find nightmare cow runs? All the runs listed are Hell :(.... >>


it's easy, join the cows channel and people usually spam nm games... or have a char that can see nm games look for nm games, rejoin with your char and open the portal youself... etc etc

i have two 60+ lv sorcs, the one specialiez in nova sucks in cow games.... while the other one with maxed frozen orb can clean house when it comes to cows in hell diff..... (actually, i think my char got deleted, haven't played since a couple months).

You're a friggin 34th level sorcie. You should be in Act 5 normal or normal cows, not in nighmare cows! Go back and level up some more.

Good ways to kill cows (when you're the right level) -

1. Sorcie: Throw lots of frozen orbs at them

2. Necro: cast Iron Maiden on them and let them kill themselves on your golem. After the first one goes down, cast amp damage on the rest and start with the corpse explosions.

3. Javazon: Lightning Fury...lots of it.

Frozen Orb always worked for me. But you're a puny lev 34 trying to do nightmare cow runs? You should be making normal cow runs at the most.

Just for reference, my Venomancer is just now going to beat Baal in Nightmare; He's level 65.

Dude, you are way too wimpy to be taking on the cows at Nightmare. Come back when you're level 50.
