Diablo 4: How to get Caged Heart of The Barber

Diablo 4 Season 1 is all about collecting Caged Hearts from Malignant enemies and adding them to your jewelry for a wide range of offensive, defensive, or utility buffs. One of the best available hearts is called the Caged Heart of the Barber, and here’s how to get it in Diablo 4 Season 1.

Diablo 4 Season 1 added Malignant enemies to Sanctuary and instead of directly dropping gear or gems, these enemies drop hearts that can be socketed into your jewelry such as Rings and Amulets. Every class in the game has some exclusive hearts while a few options are available to all classes.

Diablo 4: How to craft the Caged Heart of The Barber

Players can use various Malignant Ichors in Diablo 4 for a chance at crafting the Caged Heart of The Barber. These can be obtained after completing Malignant Tunnels or inside an Uncertain Hearts Cache, which has a chance of producing all four types of Malignant Hearts.

In order to craft an item from Malignant Ichors, you’ll need to find Cormon’s Wagon. You’ll be able to salvage lower-level Malignant Hearts for Ichors of different colors. Salvaging each Vicious, Brutal, and Devious Heart will provide you with five to 15 Ichor, with Wrathful Hearts providing two to five Ichor of all other Heart types.

If you’re lucky enough to craft the Caged Heart of The Barber, you’ll be able to place it on Rings and Necklaces with any type of Infested Sockets.
