Now thatDiablo 4′s first Season is upon us, there is a plethora of new content to discover. One of the biggest features in Season of the Malignant are Malignant and Caged Hearts. A new disease called the Malignant is spreading across Sanctuary because of Lilith’s hatred. Luckily, you can use Caged Hearts to your advantage inDiablo 4Season of the Malignant, and we’ll explain how to get them.
Diablo 4Season 1: Where to get Caged Hearts
While you may knowhow to get Malignant Hearts, they can become something called Caged Hearts. These are basically Legendary Aspects that you can attach to jewelry sockets.How you can get Caged Hearts inDiablo 4Season of the Malignant is either by crafting them, or farming them.
You’ll probably discover your first Caged Heart byusing the Cage of Binding on a Malignant Heart. If you’ve begun the Season event, Cormond should soon give you a Cage of Binding. Find and head to a Malignant Tunnel, which is a marked farming Dungeon for these items.
There is a chance that Malignant enemies will spawn in the place of Elite enemies. Once killed, they’ll drop a Malignant Heart. Interact with it, and you’ll face a hoard of corrupted enemies. This hoard may drop a Caged Heart for you.
But what about crafting? Well,go to any of Cormond’s Workbenches marked on your map, and you’re able to craft a Caged Heart using Malignant Ichor. You can farm this Ichor from Malignant monsters. Once you have enough, craft the Caged Heart of your choice. You can also Salvage Caged Hearts to get Malignant Invokers. This new item allows you to farm for specific types of Malignant Hearts. While there are 32 Malignant Powers, there are four types of Malignant Hearts, which are color coded.
Depending on which Caged Heart you’re looking for, make sure to get some Malignant Invokers. You can also craft Malignant Invokers at Cormond’s Workbench. With only a few jewelry spots available, deciding which Caged Hearts to utilize will be a difficult decision.
Diablo 4is available on Battle.net.
