In *Diablo 4*, a new power inspired by iconic fantasy series such as *Harry Potter* and *Agatha All Along* introduces players to the mystical realm of Witchcraft. To master this art, you'll need to join a coven and delve into the Season of Witchcraft Questline. This journey will unlock three major categories of occult magic: Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay. To harness these powers, you must earn favor with The Coven by collecting Restless Rot through completing missions.
How To Find All the Forgotten Altar Locations in Diablo 4
As you progress through the Season of Witchcraft, you'll have the opportunity to upgrade structures near the Tree of Whispers known as Altars. While most players will focus on these main Altars, there's another, more elusive type: the Forgotten Altars. These grant 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 Sanctuary's dungeons. This randomness means you'll need to do some dungeon grinding. Fortunately, the season's Questline often sends you into these dungeons, potentially reducing the extra effort required. The effort is well worth it, though, as the Lost Powers can significantly enhance your gameplay.
