Another one. Your Character and the other main character are the only survivors of a large explosion that kills both your enemies and your remaining comrades. However, Shortly afterwards, both characters are seperated again due to their own obligations. ---

Depending on what woman you choose, you live or die. **The 11th Hour**. That game was just shitty compared to 7th Guest … and yeah, I know what I’m saying there. 🙂 > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Kri’kla_ > \*You give the king a special box. It contains an item that allows you to escape. That’d be **Ultima 5** , m’boy, and you’re talking of the sandalwood box that contains the Orb of the Moons which gets you out of the Underworld. And yeah, the first time I played that I completely forgot to pick up that box, and had to restart and reply, as I only had the one saved game. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sterra \* > **How do you get to the cow level in diablo 2?** After you beat Diablo (or Baal if you have the expansion), you will have the choice of sending your character to the next level of difficulty. Do so, save the game, resume game at the previous level, then use the Horadric Cube to transmute a Tome of Town Portal and Wirt’s Leg to open a portal to the cows. Moo! ---

By the way, as long as the Cow King remains alive your character can return later to kill more cows. This may be changed in v. 1.10 though. ---

Well wouldn’t you freakin’ know it. I thought I was in the clear until the _last_ post was the answer I was hoping to give. Ah well. Here are some purdy obvious ones: 1. You say a lot of stupid stuff and then another guy says a lot of stupid stuff and then you jump through a portal and there is no ending. 2. You say a lot of stuff that is not so stupid and another guy says a lot of stuff that is not so stupid and then you get stabbed and once again THERE IS NO ENDING 3. Your mystical friends come to your last-minute rescue and vaporize the bad guy…minus the cigar, that is.
