How to Farm Malignant Hearts Fast in Diablo 4 Season 1

After creating a new seasonal character capable of making full use of the features debuting as part of the Season of the Malignant and getting the ability to get the hearts through the use of the Cage of Binding, we found that the easiest and fastest way to farm Malignant Hearts in Diablo 4 can be done by entering and completing Malignant Tunnels. Also, at the end of each Tunnel, you will be able to get a Heart of your choice by interacting with one of its Outgrowths.

Overall, each Malignant Tunnel will feature two Outgrowths, one Wraithfull and one of a rarity exclusive to the specific dungeon. After entering your Malignant Tunnel or choice and reaching its final area, you will be able to activate your Outgrowth of choice by making use of Malignant Invokers. Once activated, the Outgrowth will then summon a Fully Corrupted enemy guaranteed to drop a Malignant Heart matching it.
