The whole premise of The Witcher 3 is that you play as a character whose job it is to literally hunt down evil creatures from every corner of the Earth. However, one job monster hunter Geralt can't take on through regular means is that of the Bovine Defence Force, the name given to a gnarly high-level hidden enemy in the sequel.

In order to fight this dangerous, horny chort, you have to be a bit of a cheeky chappy. See, all RPGs struggle with players finding exploits to get quick access to immense resources, and The Witcher 3 was no different. In fact, in one of the starting areas, White Orchard, savvy fans realised they could go about killing the cows to make some money off their corpses and then immediately do it again when they respawn.

As such, this hidden enemy was only included in a patch to deter players from indulging in the exploit. Should you try it, this big guy will spawn and teach you a lesson for cheating.
