A new kind of power is making its way into *Diablo 4*, one that's bound to feel familiar to fans of fantasy series like *Harry Potter* and *Agatha All Along*. But joining a coven and mastering the art of witchcraft isn't a walk in the park. So, here's your comprehensive guide to all Forgotten Altar locations in *Diablo 4*.
How To Find All the Forgotten Altar Locations in Diablo 4
The Season of Witchcraft introduces a thrilling new Questline that lets you tap into the mystical world of Witchcraft Powers. These powers are divided into three major categories: Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay, each focusing on unique aspects of occult magic. To unlock these abilities, you need to curry favor with The Coven by earning Restless Rot through completing missions.
As you advance in the game, you'll have the chance to upgrade structures near the Tree of Whispers known as Altars. While most players will focus on these main Altars, there's a lesser-known type called Forgotten Altars. These hidden gems offer access to Lost Powers, some of the game's most potent abilities. However, locating a Forgotten Altar isn't straightforward.
Unlike the main Altars with fixed locations, Forgotten Altars spawn randomly within dungeons across Sanctuary. This means you might need to do some grinding, but since the season's Questline will send you into dungeons anyway, you might stumble upon them naturally. The effort is worth it, as the Lost Powers they unlock are incredibly powerful.
