While you might be busy dealing with vampires, there is something malignant still wandering Sanctuary. Here is everything you need to know about the new Malignant Rings in Diablo 4.
Diablo 4: All New Malignant Rings
The new Malignant Rings, just as the name implies, are new items that bring Malignant powers back to the table. Each of these class-specific rings will feature a popular power from the Season of the Malignant. To get these Malignant Rings, you will have to summon and defeat the Echo of Varshan inside the Malignant Burrow. If you are wondering how to do so, check out our piece on how to summon endgame bosses in Diablo 4 Season 2. Each of these are ancestral unique rings, so expect to do some grinding due to the existing unique loot pool.
