Get ready, *Diablo 4* fans, because a new wave of power is rolling into the game, and it's drawing inspiration from beloved fantasy worlds like *Harry Potter* and *Agatha All Along*. Embracing the Season of Witchcraft, you'll dive into a new Questline to master Witchcraft Powers, split into three intriguing categories: Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay. These powers delve into the depths of occult magic, but unlocking them isn't just a walk in the park. You'll need to gain favor with The Coven by earning Restless Rot through completing missions.
As you progress, you'll unlock the chance to upgrade structures near the Tree of Whispers called Altars. While many will focus on these main Altars, there's a more elusive type known as Forgotten Altars. These offer access to Lost Powers, some of the game's most potent abilities. However, tracking down a Forgotten Altar is no easy feat, as they spawn randomly within Sanctuary's dungeons. Thankfully, the season's Questline will guide you through these dungeons, potentially making your search a bit smoother. The effort is undoubtedly worth it, given the strength of the Lost Powers you can uncover.
How To Find All the Forgotten Altar Locations in Diablo 4
Finding Forgotten Altars in *Diablo 4* involves some exploration and luck, as these altars appear randomly in dungeons across Sanctuary. Since the Season of Witchcraft will have you delving into dungeons anyway, keep an eye out for these hidden gems. The thrill of the hunt is part of the adventure, and the rewards are well worth the effort.
