In Diablo 4 DLC Vessel of Hatred, players will need special Items and Equipment to Kill Enemies more efficiently and advance the game’s Plot and Quests while they are on various Adventures and Battles.
In fact, Tenets of Akarat scattered throughout Nahantu are such a key Item. Tenets of Akarat are similar to Altars of Lilith. Only by finding and collecting most of Tenets of Akarat can players increase their Reputation in the new Zone of the game.
From then on, you can get some Diablo 4 Gold and Skill Points. However, unlike Altars of Lilith, players need to solve some related Puzzles to start looking for and getting Tenets of Akarat, and Attribute improvements they provide are time-limited, not permanent.
Based on this, we not only provide players with how to solve 4 Tenets of Akarat Puzzles, but also provide the specific Locations where 10 main Tenets appear, so that players can find them more quickly in the game.
What Is Tenets Of Akarat Puzzle?
As mentioned earlier, although Tenets of Akarat and Altars of Lilith have some similarities, their differences are also worth players’ careful handling. One of them is that when facing Tenets of Akarat, players cannot directly claim it and solve it, but need to Release Tenets from Mephisto’s Black Ichor.
In order to Release Tenets, you will face 4 Tenets of Akarat Puzzles, which are:
- Activating all 3 Statues in time
- Destroying Ichor with your Attacks
- Defeating Enemies that spawn from Statue
- Matching Statues in Background
Although there are four Puzzles, fortunately, players only need to solve one of them at a time to continue the game process, rather than facing four Puzzles at the same time. Among them, Puzzle of Activating all three Statues in time is more common and easier.
How To Solve Tenets Of Akarat Puzzle?
1. Activating All 3 Statues In Time
To complete this Puzzle, you first need to find 3 Lion Statues near Tenets, and then Activate them in time before they go out.
Players will have plenty of time to find Statues, so they can plan their future actions. After completing all the steps, Tenets can be Released from Ichor.
2. Destroying Ichor With Your Attacks
Solving this Puzzle means that after the player Kills all Enemies around Tenets, some golden balls will appear on the game interface. This means that you still need to continue Attacking Tenets itself.
If Health Bar appears, use your Basic Skills to Attack it until Tenet is Released.
3. Defeating Enemies That Spawn From Statue
Some Tenets will have Red Lion Statues near them. After activating these Statues, numerous Shades of Hatred will appear. Killing them can effectively Release Tenets.
4. Matching Statues In Background
This Puzzle and the associated Tenets are the hardest to find. There are three Lion Statues in hard-to-reach places on Map that light up in a specific order.
Players need to find a way to get around these Statues and Activate them in the order they light up to Release associated Tenets.
Five Hills Tenets Of Akarat
After introducing Tenets of Akarat Puzzle, the next most important thing is to know where Tenets usually appear. In fact, Tenets usually appear in groups of five, and each group is concentrated in the same Zone. Five Hills is the first Zone.
1. Lower Kurast
In the lower district of South Of Kurast, there is a dilapidated building. Enter it and you will find a Tenet inside. However, before you can get it, you need to Kill surrounding Enemies and then Attack Black Ichor to Release Tenet.
2. Vale Of Long Mists
There is a Putrescent Larder Dungeon in the middle of Five Hills Zone, and there is a stream to the west of Dungeon where players can find a Tenet. Here you need to Activate Red Lion Statues to Release Shades of Hatred, and then Defeat them to Release Tenets.
3. Clouded Forest
There is an Ancient Ruin located both east of Feeding Grounds Dungeon and in the southeast corner of Five Hills where players can find a Tenet.
4. Reflection’s Edge
Find Glowing Lion Statues on Map, then Activate matching Lion Statues nearby to Release and obtain Tenets.
5. Tangles
The last Five Hills Tenet is hidden in a bush east of Samuk Waypoint. Looking around bushes will reveal a pit with Tenets inside.
However, to Release Tenets, you need to find all three Lion Statues near Tenets and Activate them in time.
Seven Stones Tenets Of Akarat
Another set of Tenets is located in Seven Stones Zone. Finding them still requires players to have good patience and keen observation.
6. Resting Void
There is a Cave in Seven Stones Zone, northeast of Razak’s Descent Dungeon. Players can find Tenets in the north of this Cave.
Here, players need to Activate three Lion Statues in time to Release Tenets.
7. Spiritcall Forest
There is a Jungle northeast of Samuk Waypoint, next to a small waterfall, where Tenets are located.
Tenets can be Released by looking for Glowing Lion Statues behind Tenets and Activating them in a specific order.
8. Spiritcall Forest
There is a ruin just south of Chakir Mini-Zone Stronghold, where a Tenet is hidden. Players need to find and Activate Lion Statues before they go out to Release Tenet.
9. Nether Valley
