👉 Hellish Pastures is a bizarre, hidden domain of demonic bovines, exclusive to GnollHack.

Location: Accessible via a magic portal located between levels 8 and 13 of Gehennom. Consists of a single level.

Hellish Pastures (also known as the cow level) introduces a highly dangerous but rewarding diversion.

â„šī¸ Characteristics

  • Layout: An open hellish pasture.
  • Inhabitants: The level is swarming with hell bovines, minotaurs, bison, and other cow-like monstrosities.

😈 Yacc

The boss of this level is Yacc, a powerful demon lord capable of a confusing gaze and summoning bison and hell bovines to his aid. He is guarding a chest containing highly valuable loot, which typically includes a wand of disintegration or a magic lamp, along with stat-gain potions and a high-quality weapon.

âš ī¸ Special Qualities

While it may seem like a joke, the Hellish Pastures are incredibly dangerous. The enemies here hit extremely hard and can quickly trample an unprepared adventurer.
