With Season of the Malignant beginning on July 20, we wanted to take a moment to equip you with everything you need to know about Seasons. Scour this dank system of tunnels for the catalyst of Malignant Monsters and go toe-to-toe against Varshan the Consumed, the newest Boss battle, if you dare. One of the best places to acquire Malignant Hearts are in the new Malignant Tunnels, highly replayable Dungeons teeming with fearsome foes to eradicate. There's much more to share on the Season's theme and we cannot wait to do so in the future. As you encounter more menacing Malignant Creatures so too will the strength of their Malignant Hearts grow. Our first season will introduce 32 Malignant Hearts across four categories that provide new, unique bonuses. If defeated, these amalgamations of rot will drop a version of the Malignant Heart that can be placed into special Infested sockets in your Jewelry in place of a Normal Gem. Trying to capture the Heart will cause the Partly Corrupted enemy to be reborn as a Fully Corrupted enemy. Partly Corrupted enemies are an unruly sort and won't go down easily. These can be captured by performing a ritual with the Cage of Binding, an item acquired during the Season's Questline. Slaying Partly Corrupted enemies, a type of Malignant Monster, will drop a Malignant Heart. To keep up with the relentless animosity of Malignant Monsters, you'll need to turn their Hearts against them.

Watch the Season of the Malignant Announce trailer below and steel yourself for the virulent threats that await. The malignancy that's taken hold of the Burning Hells' armies cannot remain unchecked-you must snuff it out at the source before all of Sanctuary becomes its thrall.

Wanderers will investigate this mysterious malady in a new Questline with the help of Cormond, a former priest of the Cathedral of Light, who also trains you to capture the Malignant Hearts fueling these foul beasts and convert them into build-altering powers. These decaying abominations roam Sanctuary in a frenzy, mindlessly attacking anyone in range without hesitation. On July 18, we'll release another article shedding even more light on what's coming with the new Season, including 6 new Unique Items and 7 Legendary Aspects.Ī deviant form of Lilith's sinister machinations has given birth to a new threat, Malignant Monsters. PDT, a new Season Journey, Questline, Boss, Dungeons, Battle Pass, and more will go live-we'll give you a preview below.
