Best ways to get Malignant Hearts in Diablo 4 Season 1

pcinvasion.com:

One of the newest things to be included in the first season of Diablo 4 Season of the Malgianant is collecting well, Malignant Hearts. These hearts can enhance your build in many ways, so it’s definitely a good idea to seek them out. These items are relatively rare because of how strong they can be, meaning you may have to go out of your way to find them. However, the following are the best ways to get the Malignant Hearts in Season 1 of Diablo 4.

At the time of writing this guide, there are at least 3 possible ways to get them. Some aren’t as fast but have a higher drop rate. They are:

Slaying corrupted enemies: Partially corrupted enemies may drop the hearts after you beat them. While they don’t do it constantly, there’s a large number of them so the more you take down, the higher a chance they’ll drop a Malignant Heart. However, if you collect them with the Cage of Binding ritual the creatures will respawn as Fully Corrupted. When they’re in this form, they’ll also drop the hearts. So you could get them quickly by resetting the area with this method.

Outgrowths in Maligant Tunnels: As part of the first season, there are tons of side things you can do. One of those things is these Malignant Tunnels which are deep tunnels that go under Sanctuary. When you’re fighting monsters in these tunnels, you’ll come across 2 Outgrowths in every borrow. Using Malignant Invoker that you can craft at Cormod’s Wagon, you can interact with these Outgrowths and they’ll spawn fully corrupted enemies. Upon slaying them, they’ll drop Maligant Hearts.

Investing in the Urn Maligance: By doing this, the Miligant Hearts will drop at a higher rate. While this may take more effort over time, it’s worth it
