Season of Witchcraft has arrived to Diablo 4, causing an influx of players, thanks to Blizzards efforts, like free week and discounts. Alongside new quests, puzzles, and items, there are also fresh mechanics added. As the theme is centred around witches and their magic, there are powers that you can get related to them. Alongside the main branches of those, there is another, called Lost. It can be obtained only from Forgotten Altars that can be found in dungeons around the Sanctuary. If you have problems with locating one, we can help you with the search, so stick around!

Finding Forgotten Altairs in D4

As the Season of Witchcraft in Diablo 4 is all about occult magic, we can learn some new powers. They are divided into different schools – Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay. However, there is also the Lost one, which has a unique way of learning – via Forgotten Altars, they can be found in dungeons and The Pit. However, the chances of having it spawned are slim, which fans are not very fond of, yet there is a way to increase them.

The odds of spawning altars start with 1% on Torment level 1 and increase up to 5% on 4 level of Torment. As you can see, this is still a very rare occurrence, but there is one more thing that can help you with making it happen more often – using Draught of Whispers elixir.

The concoction doubles the chances of a Forgotten Altar spawning in dungeons, maxing it out at 10% (T4). This effectively means that 1 in 10 dungeons on average should have the desired altar. There are 3 sources of Draught of Whispers:

  1. Exposed Roots that can be interacted with during Headhunts.
  2. Coven Caches obtained by amassing Reputation Points and raising Coven’s Favor,
  3. Whispers Caches that are rewards for completing Tree of Whispers activities,

Eventually, it all comes down to luck, grind and patience. If you would like to increase your knowledge about the world of Sanctuary, be sure to stay up to date with a guide that we have created. Have fun!
