Altar of Sadness is an event in Act V of Diablo III. It takes place in Briarthorn Cemetery, in a partially fenced section of the graveyard containing a conspicuous altar in the middle.

Touching the altar causes a number of Swift Flesheaters to emerge from the ground, followed shortly by the unique Risen Bones Funerus. They must all be killed.

Objectives[]

  • Investigate the Altar of Sadness
  • Kill Funerus and the undead guarding the altar
  • Use the Altar of Sadness

Using the Altar completes the event, dropping approximately a Radiant Chest worth of loot and awarding gold and experience.
