Uncover the Secrets of Diablo 4's Forgotten Altars and Lost Powers

The Season of the Maelstrom introduces Witchcraft Powers in Diablo 4, drawing inspiration from familiar fantasy themes. Mastering these powers requires dedication, as finding the Forgotten Altars that grant Lost Powers is no easy feat. This guide reveals the locations of these elusive Altars.

Unlocking Witchcraft Powers

The Witchcraft power system features three core branches: Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay, each representing a distinct form of occult magic. To learn these abilities, players must gain favor with The Coven by completing associated quests and earning Restless Rot. This progress unlocks Altar upgrades near the Tree of Whispers. While standard Altars are readily accessible, Forgotten Altars offer a unique path to potent Lost Powers.

The Challenge of Forgotten Altars

Unlike their fixed counterparts, Forgotten Altars appear randomly within Sanctuary's dungeons. This necessitates exploration and dungeon grinding. However, since the seasonal questline already involves dungeon delving, the extra effort might be minimal. The reward – powerful Lost Powers – is well worth the hunt.
