Diablo IV

All 30 Tenet of Akarat Locations

By
Matt Chard

With the introduction of the Vessel of Hatred Expansion of Diablo IV, new collectibles were added, with one of the most difficult to find being the Tenet of Akarat Statues. These are the expansion version of the Altar of Lilith Statues, but these won’t give you attribute bonuses, however, they count toward Map completions and give you a Lion Mount for collecting all 30.

Unlike the Altar of Lilith Statues, these are more difficult to find, and you’ll need to solve a small puzzle for each one. Read on to find out where to find all 30 Tenet of Akarat Statues in the Nahantu region of Vessel of Hatred.

Tenet of Akarat Statues are similar to the Altar of Lilith Statues in the original game.

Table of Contents

If you want to jump to a specific region, click on the links below.

There are six regions in Nahantu, each containing five Tenet of Akarat Statues. The list below is in no particular order, so check out what area you’re in while in-game, and select the region in the table of contents above.

Lingering Hatred Tenet of Akarat Statues

1: Flayer Jungle

From the Kurast Docks Waypoint, leave the town via the western exit. Follow the path all the way west until you reach the Festering Sink Cellar.

Interact with the statues in the following order to unlock the Tenet: Left > Right > Center.

Now head southeast until you reach a small chasm with a large tree leaning over it with roots hanging down into the chasm. The Statue will be at the base of that tree. If you’re having trouble finding it, head south from the docks until you reach the long path heading southwest into Travincal, but instead of going there, take the path to your right instead.
