To craft them, you’ll need quite a bit of Ichor, which is its own complex system in Season of the Malignant. You can find Invokers around the world, like in Malignant Tunnels, but you can also craft them at Cormond’s workbench in Kyovashad. There are also Wrathful Invokers, but they’re very rare, particularly in the game’s early levels. This is a way to partially guarantee yourself a Malignant Heart of a specific type without having to rely purely on crafting. Killing that monster will net you a Malignant Heart that corresponds to the Invoker you used. If you stab a Brutal, Devious, or Vicious Invoker into its corresponding Outgrowth, it will summon a giant monster. If you follow this new path, you’ll find a room with a Malignant growth event in the center, surrounded by two colored Outgrowths - a Wrathful “Super” Outgrowth and one of the other three Outgrowths: Brutal, Devious, or Vicious. Once you finish a Malignant Tunnel and “Dungeon Complete” flashes across your screen, a passageway in the Tunnel will open up. Invokers are consumables in Diablo 4 season 1, and you can use them in the new Malignant Tunnel activities - several of which are scattered around Sanctuary, and are denoted with a normal dungeon icon adorned with a green leaf on the world map.

In this Diablo 4 guide, we’ll teach you how to use Invokers, how to find them, and how to craft with Ichor in Season of the Malignant. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t explain Invokers too well, and you might be confused in the early hours of the season - especially if you didn’t tune into Blizzard’s recent announcement livestreams. In order to get them, there are several new systems you’ll need to interact with, including Malignant Tunnels, Invokers, and Heart crafting. These items come with their own Legendary powers that can completely change your build. Diablo 4 Season of the Malignant adds powerful new Malignant Hearts to the game.
