All 30 Tenets of Akarat are found in Nahantu, the region added with Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred. They are split evenly across six regions, with five in each. To claim one, follow its local puzzle: some require a statue sequence, while others call for defeating Shades of Hatred or clearing corrupting vines.
You need to own Vessel of Hatred to access its campaign and Nahantu content, according to Blizzard’s launch guide. The routes below follow the region names and landmarks in Gamer Guides’ all-30 location guide; check its map images when you need the exact shrine position.
Where are all 30 Tenets of Akarat?
Gamer Guides lists five Tenets in each of Nahantu’s six regions: Lingering Hatred, Seven Stones, Five Hills, Restless Canopy, Field of Giants, and Teganze Plateau. The list below is grouped by region, not by a required collection order. Use the region shown on your in-game map if its naming or boundaries are easier to follow there.
Lingering Hatred

- The Great Shelf: From The Den, head northeast into Teganze Plateau, go south past Seram Trails, then southeast. Activate the statues Left, Center, Right.
How Tenet puzzles work
Do not assume every shrine uses the same interaction. Depending on the location, you may need to activate nearby statues in a particular order, defeat Shades of Hatred, or attack vines before interacting with the Tenet. GamesRadar describes nearby Stone Guardians and beacons as a common way to clear corruption, but the tasks vary by shrine. Check the immediate area and follow its clues; use the location-specific directions above for the known sequence or objective.

Gamer Guides flags Bloodstained Heights’ order as potentially accidental rather than guaranteed, so treat that sequence as a clue rather than a fixed solution. If a claimed Tenet is hard to remember, GamesRadar reports that it is added to your map after claiming it.

Gamer Guides distinguishes Tenets from Altars of Lilith: Tenets are regional collectibles with small puzzles, but they do not grant attribute bonuses. Wowhead reports 10 Nahantu Renown per statue and says completing all 30 awards the Reins of the Nahantu Lion and the titles “Akarat’s” and “Dedicant.” Another guide gives a different second title, “Disciple,” so the exact title text is not consistent across guides; check the reward display in game.
