How to Make Cow in Little Alchemy 2: The Ultimate Guide

Little Alchemy 2 has taken the internet by storm, providing endless hours of addictive gameplay for puzzle fans around the world. As players combine different elements to create new ones, they work their way towards crafting over 500 items available in this expansive game. But some combinations are far from obvious, leaving players scratching their heads. One such elusive element? The simple cow.

Fret not, fellow alchemists! In this all-encompassing guide, I‘ll share foolproof tips on how to make a cow in Little Alchemy 2. You‘ll soon be slaying this puzzle game with insider knowledge. Let‘s get moo-ving!

An Introduction to Little Alchemy 2 Gameplay

For newcomers unfamiliar with how Little Alchemy 2 works, let me provide a quick overview. The premise revolves around starting with the basic natural elements: fire, water, air, and earth. Players drag and drop these element "bubbles" over each other to form new elements.

For example, combining earth and water makes mud! Then mud can be combined with other items to craft additional elements. This additive process slowly unlocks more complex creations across various categories like nature, technology, food and beyond.

With over 720 elements to discover, half the fun lies in mixing random items together to see what new surprises you unlock. But when stuck, some key combinations are necessary to push your alchemy adventures forward. This brings us to…

The Quickest Method to Make a Cow

While cows may seem like a basic element, they can be tricky to craft in Little Alchemy 2 without knowing the steps. Luckily, you have an expert guide right here to help! Follow along with the visuals below:

Step 1: Make a Puddle

Start by creating a puddle. Drag one water bubble over another water bubble. Easy enough!

Water plus water makes puddle

Step 2: Make a Pond

Next, combine two puddles to create a pond.

Step 3: Progress to a Lake

Take that pond and drag it over another pond bubble to form a lake.

Step 4: Advance to the Sea

Almost there…you should have sea in no time! Combine two lakes to create the sea element.

Step 5: Craft Primordial Soup

Here comes the fun part! Take your sea you just made and combine it with earth. What do you get? Primordial soup – the origins of life!

Earth plus sea gives primordial soup

Step 6: Spark Life

This is when things truly get magical. Mix primordial soup with energy (made by fire + fire) and create the life element!

Step 9: Progress to Livestock

You‘re so close now…just stay with me! Take animals and pair with field (made from plow + earth) to generate livestock.

Step 10: Birth a Cow!

Hooray, you did it! Combine livestock with field one last time to unlock everyone‘s favorite milk-making, grass-eating bovine pal…the cow!

Livestock plus field gives cow element

While that may seem like a lot of steps, having the visual reference makes the cow-crafting process smooth and simple. I promise it gets easier the more you play Little Alchemy 2!

Alternative Cow Combinations

While I just showed you the fastest way to make a cow from scratch, there are a couple alternative combinations that also yield the cow element:

  • Livestock + Barn
  • Livestock + Farmer
  • Livestock + Grass

However, these items may be even trickier to craft starting out. I suggest mastering the original cow recipe above first. But it‘s still helpful knowing other possible cow combinations for future puzzle-solving!

Fun Elements to Create with Cow

Now for the exciting part: what can you make with cow once you successfully unlock this element? While not as versatile as classics like air, fire or earth, cow opens up several fun farm and animal-related creations:

  • Cow + mountain = goat
  • Cow + tool/axe/sword + liquid = milk
  • Cow + barbecue/fire = steak
  • Cow + car/wagon = tractor
  • Cow + river/water = hippo
  • Cow + rope = lasso
  • Cow + house/container = barn

Mix and match cow with other items lying around to see what zany new elements you invent!

Tips and Strategies for Little Alchemy 2 Mastery

As you continue blending elements like a master alchemist, keep these tips in mind:

  • Take notes – Jot down combinations that work so you remember for future puzzles.
  • Think logical pairs – Match natural complements, like earth + wind = dust.
  • Build in steps – Unlock basic elements first, then combine those to create more advanced items.
  • Use hints wisely – If totally stuck, use hints to get back on track without fully spoiling the answer.
  • Play regularly – Solutions come easier when you return daily versus long breaks away.

Follow this advice and you‘ll be crafting like a Little Alchemy wizard in no time!
