Season 1 of Diablo 4 features the unique temporary mechanic of gathering Malignant Hearts from corrupted monsters and harnessing their power in the form of Caged Hearts, and the best way to farm Malignant Creatures to gather these Hearts is from the six Malignant Tunnels. These themed dungeons are special locations where corrupted beasts have sprung up after the events that Lilith caused in the main campaign. Malignant Tunnels serve as a part of the Seasonal questline but then become areas for players to return to farm the Malignant Creatures that are lying in wait within.
These six Malignant Tunnels in Diablo 4 are located throughout Sanctuary, with two in Fractured Peaks, two in Hawezar, and two in The Dry Steppes. The Tunnels are designed to be more user-friendly for players with less backtracking and more focus on killing monsters and getting rewards. Each of the tunnels has randomized layouts but will include the same general theme and enemies. Malignant Tunnels are marked on the map with the same icon as other Dungeons, but with a green leaf to differentiate them. Hovering over one on the map will indicate which type of Malignant Invoker a player will need to craft with Cormond or obtain before entering that Malignant Tunnel.
Diablo 4’s Den of the Blighted is a Malignant Tunnel in the southern part of the Dismal Foothills in the Hawezar region and requires a Vicious Malignant Invoker. Unfortunately, this Tunnel simply doesn’t have anything very impressive about it and its mob density is lower than other Tunnels, making it more of a time sink than anything. It is quick and easy to reach, however, as it’s in close proximity to the Rakhat waypoint. Den of the Blighted has a larger variety of enemies, both normal and elites, which can help to mix things up some, but otherwise, it just doesn’t seem as good for farming as the others.
Fissure of Malice is in the southwestern part of The Pallid Glade in Diablo 4’s Fractured Peaks region, just south of Nostrava. This Malignant Tunnel requires a Devious Malignant Invoker and has a decent variety of enemies such as undead, Iron Clan, and more. In the objectives for the Tunnel, players will need to slay two Malignant Ghouls, Rakka and Shakka, which often are located pretty far away from each other and can require quite a bit of tedious exploration to find them depending on the randomization of its layout.
The Boiling Wound Malignant Tunnel is located in the southeastern part of the Frigid Expanse in the Fractured Peaks, just east of Malnok, which makes it pretty quick to reach from several of the waypoints in the area. Players will need a Devious Malignant Invoker for this Tunnel, but it is a great one when someone is short on time. The Boiling Wound is the shortest Malignant dungeon in Diablo 4 Season 1, which is helpful for players who want to rush to the Malignant Outgrowth at the end quickly to get a specific Malignant Heart.
