Starting on January 21, Diablo 4 players will get the chance to embark on the Season of Witchcraft, uncovering a mystery behind the Tree of Whispers and unlocking new Witch powers. Aside from the new Headrotten enemy type and occult gems making an appearance, the most exciting feature is the 25 different powers across different schools of Witchcraft.

Witch Powers will grant you and your friends new abilities and augment existing skills as you uncover a mystery behind a Witch Coven. There’s a lot we already know about this dark magic, so if you’re excited to hop into Season 7 of Diablo 4, here are all the new Witch Powers you can unlock during Season of Witchcraft.

Between the 25 different powers you can obtain in Diablo 4 Season of Witchcraft, there are three schools of magic.

  • Eldritch: Destructive magic.
  • Psyche: Defensive Magic.
  • Growth & Decay: Healing and harming magic.

Apart from the known powers, you can discover and master Lost powers that neither the Coven nor the Tree knows about. You can fine-tune your build to create a unique display of sorcery when attacking your enemies.

How to unlock Witchcraft Powers

The way to unlock new Witch Powers is by following the seasonal questline: hunt down the Headrotten and find the missing Heads that were hung on the Tree of Whispers. Once you return them, you’ll gain favor with the Coven, which you can use to upgrade the Altars beneath the Tree which grant you Witchcraft Powers.

The only way to get the Lost Powers is through Forgotten Altars, which are elusive and difficult to find. Look out for these altars throughout random dungeons in Sanctuary.

All Flarlic locations in Pikmin 4
A Flarlic growing in a broken pot.

The Pikmin series has always highlighted the idea of commanding huge numbers of tiny creatures at once. With Pikmin 4 utilizing the power of the Switch, more Pikmin than ever can appear on screen, but that doesn't mean you can just grind out an entire army right off the bat. The game will limit you on how many total Pikmin you can control, forcing you to manage your forces between the different types. While this limitation will feel constricting at first, by collecting special plants called Flarlic, you can increase that number by 10. There are 12 total Flarlics to collect, with each stage having one on the surface and one in a cave to find, but you only need eight of them to reach the max Pikmin limit. Here's where to find all the Flarlic in Pikmin 4 so you can travel with a full army.
Sun-Speckled Terrace
The Flarlic you can find on the surface is way up north beyond the electric fence that you need Yellow Pikmin to pass. You'll need at least five Yellow Pikmin to toss up on the potted plant next to the fence in order to reach the Flarlic on the elevated mound.

The second is in the Last-Frost Cavern. Go to the top-left corner of the large northwest room and pluck it out of a sunken plant pot hidden behind some pots you need to smash.
Blossoming Arcadia
Our surface Flarlic is up north on the south side of the water and requires Blue Pikmin to bring back, or Ice Pikmin to freeze the water below it. It is tucked inside a wooden structure you need to toss some Pikmin up to collect.
