Diablo 4's Vessel of Hatred expansion introduces a fresh set of collectible statues hidden throughout the jungles of Nahantu. These Tenets of Akarat serve as a unique way to gain Renown, helping players unlock a distinctive mount skin and exclusive title upon discovering all 30 locations. While they don't grant the stat boosts or Paragon Points like the Altars of Lilith, these Tenets are still crucial for hitting maximum Renown in the Nahantu region.
This guide will walk you through all 30 Tenets of Akarat shrine locations, offering you specific directions, challenges you'll face, and useful maps to make your search easier.
What Are Tenets of Akarat?
The Tenets of Akarat are collectible shrines found in the Nahantu jungle. Unlike Altars of Lilith, which provide direct benefits like stat boosts and Paragon Points, Tenets of Akarat are focused solely on increasing your Renown. Collecting all 30 Tenets will reward you with a new mount skin and an exclusive title, making them an essential part of maximizing your Renown in this region.
Each Tenet of Akarat is surrounded by Mephisto's abyssal tentacles, casting an oppressive darkness over the shrine. To release the shrine from its bindings, you'll need to complete one of three challenges:
Activate three nearby stone guardian statues
Some shrines require you to activate all three statues within a specific time limit.
Defeat three waves of spirit wolves
Spirit wolves will spawn near the shrine and must be eliminated.
Activate the correct statues near the Tenet of Akarat
A more complex challenge where you must light or activate certain statues correctly.
Each region of Nahantu contains five Tenets, and each Tenet is tied to one of these challenges. Below, you'll find the locations of all the Tenets, along with the challenges you need to complete to unlock them.
