All Diablo 4 Malignant Hearts

Each boss or mini-boss you encounter will give you a random colored Malignant Heart when you kill it for the first time. The color of the Malignant Heart that you gain access to will be the same color as the Caged Heart that the enemy will drop when defeated. When you interact with the Malignant Heart, the boss will spawn again, but it will be a bit stronger than the first time. Once defeated for the second time, he will release a Caged Heart of the same color as the initial Malignant Heart.

Also, at the end of each Malignant Tunnel, you will encounter a Malignant Outgrowth. By making use of a particular item called Invoker of the Outgrowth, you will be able to summon a Malignant Elite who, when defeated, will release an even more powerful Caged Heart.

The other option you have to get Caged Hearts is to craft them at Cormond's Wagon. Here you will be able to craft a random Vicious, Brutal. or Devious Caged Heart (WARNING: Wrathful Harts can't be crafted), a Vicious, Brutal, or Devious Invoker for use in the Malignant Tunnels, or a random Caged Heart or Invoker.

Of course, to craft these items you'll need some sort of material called Ichor which can be obtained from Salvaged Caged Hearts or less powerful Malignant Monsters. Vicious, Brutal, and Devious Hearts will give you 5-15 Ichor, while Wrathful Hearts will give you 2-5 Ichor. To create a specific Malignant Heart, you will need 35 Ichor of the other two main hearts. So, for example, if you want to make a Brutal Heart, you'll need 35 Vicious Ichor and 35 Devious Ichor.

Also, we remind you that the hearts you craft will automatically match your character's level and will always be useful for your class (as we'll see later, there are specific Malignant Hearts for each class). Finally, the last thing to keep in mind is to make use of the lowest level Caged Hearts to get Ichor.
