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 The Witcher. Mastering these powers requires dedication, and a crucial element is discovering the elusive Forgotten Altars. This guide reveals their locations and the potent Lost Powers they bestow.

Unlocking Witchcraft

The Witchcraft system features three core categories: Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay, each representing a unique facet of occult magic. Gaining favor with The Coven, achieved by completing missions and earning Restless Rot, allows you to upgrade Altars near the Tree of Whispers. However, the truly powerful abilities lie within the Forgotten Altars.

The Challenge of Forgotten Altars

Unlike the standard Altars with fixed locations, Forgotten Altars appear randomly within Sanctuary's dungeons. This necessitates exploration and some degree of grinding. However, the season's questline frequently directs players to dungeons, minimizing extra effort. The rewards, however, are substantial, as the Lost Powers are among the game's most potent abilities.
