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, however, as finding the Forgotten Altars that grant Lost Powers isn't straightforward. This guide reveals the locations of these elusive Altars.
Unlocking Witchcraft Power
The Season of the Maelstrom's questline allows you to learn powerful Witchcraft abilities, categorized into Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay. Gaining favor with The Coven, by completing missions and earning Restless Rot, is key to unlocking these abilities. Progressing unlocks Altar upgrades near the Tree of Whispers. While main Altars are prominent, Forgotten Altars offer unique Lost Powers.
The Challenge of Forgotten Altars
Unlike the main Altars with fixed locations, Forgotten Altars appear randomly within Sanctuary's dungeons. This necessitates exploration, but the season's questline often leads you through dungeons, minimizing extra effort. The reward, however, is substantial, as Lost Powers are among the game's most potent abilities.

Discovering all Forgotten Altars yields significant rewards. Below is a list of Lost Powers and their effects:
| Name | Power |
| Breath of the Coven | Using Witchcraft Effects (Eldritch, Psyche, Growth & Decay) that deal damage or apply Crowd Control boosts Attack Speed by X for 10 seconds, stacking per unique effect. At Rank 8: 40% Lucky Hit chance when bonuses from all three effects are active. |
| Hex Specialization | Increases Hex Effect potency by X. At Rank 10: 10% increased Critical Strike Chance against Hexed enemies. |
| Aura Specialization | Increases Aura Effect size by X. At Rank 10: 50% increased Critical Strike Damage against enemies within Aura Effects. |
| Piranhado | When an enemy is affected by both a Hex and an Aura, a Piranhado is summoned, dealing X Physical damage over 12 seconds and pulling in enemies. Occurs once every 20 seconds. At Rank 5: Piranhado actively seeks nearby enemies. |
Remember, Witchcraft Powers can be upgraded in your inventory using Restless Rot, so prioritize completing quests.
