In this detailed guide, we'll explore the best methods for farming Malignant Hearts and ensuring your character becomes an unstoppable force.

• Random Drops
• Choosing the Right Tunnel
• Types of Malignant Hearts
• Efficient Farming
• 2 Best Methods Farming Malignant Hearts

 

↖ Crafting Malignant Invoker Caches

One of the most reliable ways to obtain Malignant Invokers is by crafting Malignant Invoker Caches at the crafting table. Here's how you can do it:

• Acquire materials from dismantling other Hearts.
• Head to the crafting table and select the option to craft Random Invoker Cache.
• This method grants you a significantly higher chance, around 15%, to obtain Malignant Invokers.
• For Malignant Hearts specifically, the chance is also increased, making it easier to target them.

 

↖ Random Drops

In a significant change from previous patches, Malignant Invokers can now drop randomly during your gameplay. These drops are not tied to specific locations or monsters but occur as you grind through the game. Here are some key points to consider:

• Malignant Invokers tend to drop more frequently in the later levels, starting at around levels 50-60.
• However, they can still drop in the early levels, albeit with a lower chance.
• Even low-level characters, such as a Level 10 Necromancer, have a slim chance of finding these items.
• Levelling up a fresh character from 1 to 100 can yield a substantial number of Malignant Invokers.

 

↖ Choosing the Right Tunnel

To convert Malignant Invokers into Malignant Hearts, you'll need to visit specific tunnels scattered throughout the game. Follow these steps:

• Navigate to one of the tunnels; a popular choice is the Ravening Pit in the Dry Steps region.
• Explore the tunnel and reach the end.
• Interact with the Malignant Outgrowth, which appears after completing the tunnel.
• You will receive a guaranteed Malignant Heart drop.

 

↖ Types of Malignant Hearts

There are four types of Malignant Hearts for each class in Diablo 4, including 3 generic ones and one class-specific heart. Keep in mind the following:

• Some Malignant Hearts may have specific requirements or tier restrictions, such as World Tier 3 or 4.
• While some players have reported finding these hearts as early as level 60, it's safer to farm them at World Tier 3 for generic hearts and World Tier 4 for class-specific ones.

 

↖ Efficient Farming

To efficiently farm Malignant Hearts, follow these steps:

• Accumulate a stack of Malignant Invokers by using the methods mentioned above.
• Choose a tunnel with the heart you desire and a suitable World Tier.
• Enter the tunnel and complete it; the Malignant Outgrowth guarantees a heart drop.
• Repeat this process as needed to collect the hearts you desire.

 

↖ 2 Best Methods Farming Malignant Hearts

Next, we'll show you the best methods for farming Malignant Hearts, with a particular focus on Wrathful Malignant Hearts. These rare and powerful items are essential for building your character's strength. We'll cover a guaranteed method for obtaining them and an alternative method for farming them if the guaranteed method gets patched.

 

Method 1: Guaranteed Wrathful Malignant Hearts Farming

• Start by completing the seasonal campaign until you reach the quest called The Cold Heart Truth.
• This quest leads you to a location called Kyovashod, where you'll face the boss Varshan.
• After defeating Varshan, he has a chance to drop Wrathful Malignant Hearts.
• You can reset the dungeon to farm these hearts repeatedly by simply leaving the game and joining back in, or you can create a new character to farm them if you've already completed the campaign.

 

Method 2: Conventional Malignant Hearts Farming

• If you want to farm Malignant Hearts the traditional way, head to the Ravening Pits in the Dry Steps region.
• In the Ravening Pits, eliminate enemies to acquire Malignant Hearts. Focus on the Wrathful Malignant Hearts if that's what you're after.
• If an enemy doesn't drop the desired type of heart, move on and reset the dungeon to try again.
• You can pick up all dropped invokers if you want to salvage them for materials to craft Wrathful Malignant Hearts. Keep in mind that the drop rate for Wrathful Malignant Hearts is low so that this method can be time-consuming.

 

Conclusion:

Thanks to the changes in patch 1.1.2, farming Malignant Hearts in Diablo 4 Season 1 has become more accessible and less reliant on complex strategies. With patience and determination, you can accumulate a substantial collection of these powerful items to enhance your character's capabilities. May your adventures in Season 1 be filled with epic loot and unforgettable battles Best of luck, and see you in the world of Sanctuary!
