Votive Passing Explained
Votive passing in Diablo 4 involves activating specific interactive objects like Altars of Lilith to acquire permanent character enhancements. These are distributed across Sanctuary's regions and provide account-wide rewards for all playable characters.
Key Mechanics
Locate altars by exploring map areas; they appear as distinctive icons when near. Approach and interact using the game's action prompt:
- Activation: Press the interaction key to consume the altar, triggering an immediate effect.
- Appearance: Activated altars glow, making identification easy during exploration.
- Account Binding: Rewards are tied to your account, not individual characters.
Rewards and Benefits
Each altar provides unique stat bonuses that accumulate permanently:
- Core Attribute Boosts: Typically +2 to Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, or Willpower.
- Resource Gains: Small increases in max health, mana, or other vital stats.
- Progress Tracking: Each activation counts toward region-wide challenges for additional unlocks.
Maximizing altar finds enhances survivability and damage output significantly.
Strategies for Efficiency
Optimize votive passing with these methods:
- Mount Use: Employ mounts to traverse regions swiftly; many altars are near Waypoints.
- Systematic Exploration: Prioritize high-density areas and refer to in-game completion trackers for guidance.
- Seasonal Characters: Activate altars early in seasonal playthroughs to inherit rewards faster.
Important: Avoid overlooking altars, as they contribute to long-term progression without respawning.
