Diablo 4 Tenets of Akarat Locations
Diablo 4 has a big map for players to explore and find loot. With the new Vessel of Hatred update, players can now visit the jungles of Nahantu, which has its own Tenets of Akarat. Unlike the Altars of Lilith, these Tenets need you to solve a small puzzle to activate them.
And while they don’t give permanent boosts, they help you earn renown and cool rewards. Some Tenets ask you to activate all three statues quickly, so using Evade can help you reach the last one faster.

Ways to Solve Tenets of Akarat Puzzles
- Activation Method:
- Tenets of Akarat: You cannot just walk up and claim them. You need to free them from Mephisto’s black ichor by solving puzzles.
- Altars of Lilith: These can be activated easily without puzzles.
- Puzzles to Solve:
You need to solve one of four types of puzzles:- Activate all three lion statues in time.
- Destroy the black ichor with your attacks.
- Defeat enemies that appear from the statue.
- Match the statues shown in the background.
- Common Puzzle:
- The most common puzzle is activating three lion statues before they snuff out. You have time to find them, and they are usually close together.
- Golden Orbs:
- After defeating enemies near a Tenet, golden orbs may appear. This means you need to attack the Tenet. Hit it with a basic skill until its health bar appears, then keep attacking.
- Red Lion Statue:
- Some Tenets have a red lion statue nearby. Activating this will cause Shades of Hatred to appear, which you must defeat.
- Background Statues:
- The hardest puzzle involves three lion statues in the background. They will be lit in a specific order. You need to activate the nearby statues to match the order.
What are the Tenets of Akarat?
The Tenets of Akarat are special points of interest in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred, found in the new Nahantu region. They are similar to the Altars of Lilith, as you need to collect many of them to upgrade your reputation and earn valuable Paragon and skill points.
However, unlike the Altars, the Tenets of Akarat require you to solve a small puzzle to activate them. Additionally, they do not provide any permanent boosts to your character's stats like the Altars of Lilith do.
