by Nora Feb 20,2025

Uncover the Secrets of Diablo 4's Forgotten Altars and Lost Powers

The Season of the Maelstrom introduces Witchcraft Powers in Diablo 4, reminiscent of spells from beloved fantasy series. Mastering these powers requires dedication, and a key component is locating the elusive Forgotten Altars. This guide reveals their secrets.

Unlocking Witchcraft's Potential

The Season of the Maelstrom's questline unlocks Witchcraft Powers, categorized into Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay. Gaining favor with The Coven, achieved through completing missions, earns Restless Rot, crucial for Altar upgrades.

While primary Altars near the Tree of Whispers are readily accessible, Forgotten Altars offer unique Lost Powers. These powerful abilities are randomly located within Sanctuary's dungeons, requiring exploration and a bit of luck.

The Rewards of Discovery

The effort invested in finding Forgotten Altars is handsomely rewarded with potent Lost Powers. Below is a summary of these abilities and their effects:
