All Forgotten Altar (Lost Power) Locations in Diablo 4

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 is locating the elusive Forgotten Altars. This guide details how to find them and the potent Lost Powers they unlock.

Unlocking Witchcraft's Potential

The Witchcraft power system features three branches – Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay – each representing a unique aspect of occult magic. To access these abilities, you must gain favor with The Coven by completing quests and earning Restless Rot. This progress allows you to upgrade Altars near the Tree of Whispers. However, beyond the main Altars lie the Forgotten Altars, granting incredibly powerful Lost Powers.

The Challenge of Finding Forgotten Altars

Unlike the main Altars with fixed locations, Forgotten Altars randomly spawn within Sanctuary's dungeons. This necessitates some exploration and dungeon grinding. Fortunately, the season's questline frequently sends players into dungeons, potentially minimizing extra effort. The rewards, however, are well worth the hunt, as the Lost Powers are among the game's most potent abilities.
