Diablo 3 Season 28 Altar Of Rites Unlocking Guide
Diablo 3’s new Season marks the final farewell for the game before everyone jumps on-board Diablo 4. This means that Season 28 will be the biggest and baddest one yet in the history of the game’s 10-year course.
Here’s what Blizzard is offering for its final Diablo 3 Season: The Altar of Rites progression system.
“For Season 28, Rites of Sanctuary, we’re travelling deep into the mysterious ruins of the Festering Woods. Amid a hunting expedition, citizens hailing from New Tristram stumbled across an ominous Altar carved from an archaic material bearing cryptic markings. Shaken to their core by the eldritch aroma of the monolith, they’ve enlisted the assistance of brave Nephalem willing to investigate this sinister discovery that was once left to time—the Altar of Rites.
Home to power thought to be extinct from Sanctuary, the Altar of Rites will bestow these mystic forces upon worthy Nephalem… After a sacrifice is offered.”
In Season 28, there’s a brand new progression system called the Altar of Rites that grants awesome power to your entire account in exchange for sacrifices. These sacrifices range from materials you get from Bounties and enemies, to even tough items to craft like the Staff of Herding. Completing all 26 of these tasks and sacrificing 6 Primal Ancients, which is no easy feat mind you, will net you big Damage & stat buffs, increased drops, 3 Potion Super Powers, and the Wings of Terror as an exclusive cosmetic.
Simple: just head to Act 1’s New Tristram, then go left to where Tyrael is standing. Follow the path through the town and go past Arghus the Collector but stop just before you pass Radek the Fence. The Altar is marked on the minimap within the vicinity.
When one of these seals is unlocked, they apply to all characters in your account.

Force (D)
Grants +200 Average Damage. This is similar to a Jewelry Damage Range Affix and is added to your Weapon Damage, which translates into ~5-6% damage on average.
Command (G), Prowess (K)
Buffs your damage against Elites.
Nature (J)
Grants 10% Elemental Damage of your highest current element. Needs some Elemental Damage to work.
Tenacity (L)
Grants a 20% separate damage multiplier.
Malice (R)
Grants a 30% separate damage multiplier.
Roar (W)
Grants a 25% separate damage multiplier against Bosses.
Shadow (E)
Reduces missile damage you receive by 25%.
Numb (I)
Reduces melee damage you receive by 25%.
Reverence (Q)
Reduces the damage you receive from Elites by 25%.
Blood (H)
Gain a shield for 5% of your Maximum Health every time you pick up a Health Globe. Just like Wizard shields, they scale with your Maximum Life, the maximum life you have, the larger the shield is. Works great with Squirt’s Necklace.
Elegance (Y)
Grants 15% additional Dodge Chance.
Gateway (A)
This seal doubles the duration and bonus of Kill Streaks.
Mirror (B)
This seal grants you a permanent Pool of Reflection. The way it works is that you have a pool that is automatically refreshed when it is about to expire or when you revive after a death. This Pool still works exactly like any other pool, which means it double dips for Greater Rift Closing Experience.
Anointed (C)
Removes all Item Level Requirement. This is great for leveling new characters!
Exodus (F)
Grants 25% Movement Speed Bonus. Goes beyond the base 25% cap from your Gear and Paragon Points.
Reach (P)
Automatically picks up Progress Globes within 60 yards in Nephalem & Greater Rifts. This is a pickup effect which procs around twice per second and is approximately screenwide. This means it is possible to leave the screen without picking up globes if you have too much Movement Speed and run away.
Bountiful (O)
Completing Bounty Acts grants 2 Bounty Caches instead of one.
Vigor (N)
Critical Hits grants Resource (15 Mana, 5 Hatred, 5 Wrath, 3 Arcane Power, 3 Fury, 5 Spirit & 5 Essence). This seal is great for all builds that consume a lot of resources.
Stillness (M)
Double the number of Death’s Breaths that drops. This is a separate multiplier and works on top of Sage’s Journey.
Revelation (T)
Grants Passability which is the Illusory Boots effect.
Reaper (V)
Elite Packs drop one additional Progress Globe.
Omen (S)
Grants immunity against all Crowd Control effects.
Carrion (U)
