Season 1 of Diablo 4 has started, and with “Malignant” as the seasonal theme, it primarily brings “Caged Hearts” as new items into the game. We'll tell you how the caged hearts work.

Here's the deal: The first Season launched on July 20 in Diablo 4 and is titled “Season of the Malignant.” This describes the theme that changes each season and brings unique features. In this case, they are the Caged Hearts and the Malignant Invoker. This guide will explain what the Caged Hearts are all about.

These are the Caged Hearts in Diablo 4 Season 1

The Caged Hearts come in four varieties as a new item in the game, and you can craft them yourself. All you have to do is visit Cormond's workbench, which he has set up in the Dry Steppes south of Ked Bardu and in Kyovashad.

What to do with the Caged Hearts in Diablo 4

The caged hearts are nothing more than gems you can put into certain jewelry in Season 1. However, once you've used them, you can only replace them; you can not remove them from the item. So if you replace them, the old heart will get destroyed.

However, if you need more Ichor to craft the Malignant Invoker, you can also dismantle excess caged hearts for materials at Cormond's workbench. It always pays to equip the latest hearts as long as the affix is suitable. The higher your level, the higher the item level and therefore the armor on the hearts.

Here you can find Malignant Ichor in Diablo 4 Season 1

The various Malignant Ichor that you need to craft the caged hearts can be obtained from events within the Diablo 4 game world and also in the new malignant dungeons. The collected Ichor will appear in your resources tab as soon as you get them.

In addition to the already-known events from the regular Diablo 4, a few more events are added in Season 1, which mainly have to do with Malignant boils. You can also find these scattered around the game world, only Ichor is not always dropped here.
