Diablo 4: Opening the Cow Level – Step by Step

Step 3: Farm Neyrelle’s Hand

For the last part of the journey, you need to travel repeatedly between Skovos and Kyovashad. Centrally located in Skartara, the last region of Skovos (the volcano), you will find the “Diary of the Exiled.” Interact with it to start the hidden quest.

Then, you must return to the shrine where you carved something on an amulet at the very beginning of the campaign when Lorath brought you to Kyovashad. The order in which you complete the subsequent tasks is up to you – only “Greed” must be completed last. For this guide, we follow the order that Sliver of time explains in his video.

The “Pride” Challenge

Select “Pride” first at the shrine. Then travel to the northeast of Skartara in Skovos (directly southeast of the Archive of Cosmos) or to the north of Celestia (southeast of the Archive) and destroy ballistae you find there until you find an Amazon bolt.

Go to the cellar “Idyllic Field” northeast of Temis with the bolt. You will find a ballista there that you can interact with. Shoot the bolt and climb with the now taut rope to the secret area of the small dungeon.

In the secret area, you will find a statue that you must use. A boss will appear, who upon death drops the “Chains of the Father.” Collect them and bring them to a large bonfire to the north of Philios, a bit north of the dungeon “Grim Harbor.” Interact with the brazier and burn the found item.

The “Rage” Challenge

Return to the shrine before Kyovashad and select “Rage” as the next option. The challenge requires you to collect and equip an entire set of “white” items.

The first item, the “Amazon Practice Helmet,” you get from the practice dummies at the training ground in Temis. Just hit the dummy until the item drops. This can take quite a while.

Equip the helmet and go kill monsters in the north of Celestia, southeast of the Archive of Cosmos. The corrupted Amazons there drop the rest of the set:

• Tunic
• Pants
• Gloves
• Boots

Equip each item as you find it and keep killing enemies. Only then can the next part of the set drop. This can again take some time as they are random drops.

Tip: If you have defeated all enemies and do not want to wait for the respawn, teleport away and return, or log out and back in.

Once you have equipped the complete set, kill the enemy “Vasha the Unbroken” in the northeast of Celestia, a bit south of Akarat’s Bastion. Vasha drops the “Rose of the Mother.” Bring the rose to the brazier in the north of Athulua, right at the Temple of Valor and northeast of the Garrison of Athulua.

The “Fear” Challenge

Return to Kyovashad and select “Fear” at the shrine before the city next. Go a bit northwest of the center of Lycander, directly north of the dungeon “Dark Refuge.”

There you will find a raven sitting on a cliff. Interact with the bird and… follow it. It sounds simple, but the raven takes routes you cannot take. You need to predict where the bird will fly and look for alternative paths often.

If you succeed, you will find the “Skull of the Hierophant” where the raven took off (and should land again). If you lost the bird along the way, check if the item might still be there – in that case, you were lucky. Otherwise, you can find the raven there for a new try. If not, log out and back in, or change the difficulty.

Bring the skull to the east of Lycander, a short distance south of the waypoint in the Temple of Life, and burn it there in the brazier. The “Hadopelagic Key” should fall to the ground before you.

Neyrelle’s Hand

You must have completed all the previous tasks up to this point, as you need the key.

Then head to the east of Hawezar to the shipwreck where Neyrelle lost her hand during the original campaign of the game. At the end of the path, you’ll find a small platform made of planks. Here you need to fish.

As a reminder: this is how you learn to fish in Diablo 4.

You will fish up a “Sealed Wooden Coffin,” which you can open with the key you just received. “Enter” the now-open coffin, and you will find yourself in a cellar (“Corrupted Marrow”).

Go to the end of the cellar and interact with the Swollen Calf there. Neyrelle’s hand should drop and you can pick it up to proceed to the last step of the puzzle.
