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 details how to find these altars and the potent Lost Powers they unlock.

Unlocking Witchcraft's Potential

The Witchcraft power system features three core categories: Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay, each representing a distinct type of occult magic. Gaining favor with The Coven, through completing missions and earning Restless Rot, is crucial for progressing this system. This progress allows you to upgrade Altars near the Tree of Whispers. However, beyond the main Altars lie the Forgotten Altars, offering unique Lost Powers.

The Challenge of Finding Forgotten Altars

Unlike the main Altars with fixed locations, Forgotten Altars appear randomly within Sanctuary's dungeons. This necessitates exploration and dungeon grinding. Fortunately, the season's questline frequently directs you to dungeons, potentially minimizing extra effort. The rewards, however, are substantial, as Lost Powers rank among the game's most powerful abilities.
