Diablo 4 Season of the Malignant just came out on July 20, 2023. As the very first season of the game, it has introduced a whole new world of crafting and gameplay mechanics. With the original game having launched over a month ago on June 5, 2023, this addition has given the franchise a larger following. Players now have more things to anticipate within the game.

The seasonal mechanics requires you to create a new character for every new season. That said, here is how you can get Vicious Malignant Ichor and progress faster in Season of the Malignant.

Blizzard introduced a new element known as Malignant Hearts in Diablo 4 Season 1. These items, once trapped inside a Cage of Binding, turn into Caged Hearts and can be used like gems in the game. However, they can only be socketed on Amulets and Rings that have something known as an infected slot.

These Caged Hearts come in four different colors. Unless the color of the infected socket matches the color of the heart, you won't be able to socket it in. You can target farm these Caged Hearts at the end of a Malignant Tunnel. However, to do so, you will need to use something known as a Malignant Invoker.

To craft an Invoker, you will require Ichor. There are three different types of Malignant Hearts, so there are three different types of Invokers as well. For the Invokers, you'll require Vicious Ichor, Brutal Ichor, and Devious Ichor, but in varying quantities.

You cannot target farm the Vicious Malignant Ichor at this point, considering that the season has just gone live, and it's still unclear if only a specific sort of enemy drops this item. However, if you make your way into a Malignant Tunnel and start slaughtering enemies, you are bound to get your hands on some Diablo 4 Vicious Malignant Ichor easily.

Although there is a chance that enemies in the open world will also drop Vicious Ichor, the chances are very low. So it's always a good idea to head inside a Malignant Tunnel and farm for these consumables. There are a total of six Diablo 4 Malignant Tunnels in this season. Farming these tunnels are fairly easy, and the enemies scale with your level as well, so at no given point are they too powerful for you to deal with.


The season of the Malignant will last for 12 weeks, giving you plenty of time to explore the new content and Battle Pass. Diablo 4 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox One, as well as Xbox Series X and S.
