Diablo 4: Uncover Lost Power at Forgotten Altars

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

The Season of the Maelstrom introduces Witchcraft Powers in Diablo 4, categorized into Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay. Unlocking these potent abilities requires favor with The Coven, earned by completing quests and gathering Restless Rot. This allows you to upgrade Altars near the Tree of Whispers. However, beyond the main Altars lie the elusive Forgotten Altars, granting powerful Lost Powers.

Unlike their counterparts, Forgotten Altars appear randomly within Sanctuary's dungeons. While the season's questline will lead you through numerous dungeons, finding them may require additional exploration. The reward, however, is well worth the effort, as Lost Powers are among the game's most formidable abilities.

At Rank 8: Gain 40% Lucky Hit chance while bonuses from Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay are active.
Hex Specialization	Increases the potency of Hex Effects by X. At Rank 10: Increases Critical Strike Chance by 10% against Hexed enemies.
Aura Specialization	Increases the size of Aura Effects by X. At Rank 10: Increases Critical Strike Damage by 50% against enemies within Aura Effects.
Piranhado	Afflicting an enemy with both a Hex and an Aura Effect summons a Piranhado, pulling enemies in and dealing X Physical damage over 12 seconds (once every 20 seconds). At Rank 5: Piranhado actively seeks nearby enemies.
