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 element lies in discovering the elusive Forgotten Altars. This guide will help you locate these hidden sanctuaries and unlock their potent Lost Powers.

Unlocking Witchcraft's Potential

The Witchcraft power system comprises three branches – Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay – each focusing on unique occult magic. To gain access to these abilities, you must earn the favor of The Coven by completing quests. This progress unlocks Altar upgrades near the Tree of Whispers. While standard Altars are readily accessible, Forgotten Altars offer a different path to power, granting Lost Powers.

The Challenge of Finding Forgotten Altars

Unlike the main Altars with fixed locations, Forgotten Altars spawn randomly within Sanctuary's dungeons. This necessitates some exploration, though the season's questline frequently sends players into dungeons, potentially minimizing extra effort. The reward, however, is substantial: Lost Powers are among the game's most powerful abilities.
