Lost Altars Rediscovered: Unlocking Diablo 4's Hidden Power

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 fantasy series like Harry Potter and Agatha All Along. Mastering these powers requires dedication, and a key component is locating the elusive Forgotten Altars. This guide reveals the locations of these powerful artifacts.

Unlocking Witchcraft's Potential

The Witchcraft system features three core categories: Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay, each representing a unique aspect of occult magic. Progressing through the Season's questline earns Restless Rot, used to upgrade Altars near the Tree of Whispers. However, beyond the standard Altars lie the Forgotten Altars, granting access to exceptionally potent Lost Powers.

The Challenge of Discovery

Unlike their counterparts, Forgotten Altars don't have fixed locations. They randomly appear within Sanctuary's dungeons. While the seasonal questline naturally leads players through dungeons, locating these altars requires some exploration and potentially additional grinding. The reward, however, is well worth the effort, as Lost Powers are among the game's most powerful abilities.

Successfully locating all Forgotten Altars unlocks the following Lost Powers:
