Although Season of the Malignant passed, Malignant Rings are reminiscent of the first season. But how do you get the Malignant Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul in Diablo 4?
In total, there are five Malignant Rings to collect. One for each class, with each with its own unique effects. Here’s how to get this specific one meant for Necromancers.
Diablo 4: Where to find the Malignant Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul
Obtaining any of the Malignant Rings is tough, but still viable. You can get the Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul in Diablo 4 by defeating the Echo of Varshan. It’s the best way to farm these rings, but you’ll need to figure out how to summon this endgame boss first.
You’ll recognize Varshan if you played through Season 1’s questline. This is a much tougher version of him though, and you’ll need to get Malignant Body Parts to summon the Echo of Varshan. Specifically, the Gurgling Head, Blackened Femur, and Trembling Hand, alongside the Malignant Heart.
As a reminder, the only way to earn a Malignant Heart is on World Tier 4, but you only need to acquire it if you want to fight Varshan in that World Tier. Otherwise, you just need the other three Body Parts for World Tier 3. You can earn them by completing Grim Favors through the Tree of Whispers or killing Grotesque Debtors.
After completing 10 Grim Favors, you can earn yourself a Whisper Cache, with the chance of it containing a Malignant Body Part. Take them to The Writhing Mire, which is beside the Tree of Whispers, and summon Varshan. Upon defeat, you may earn yourself the Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul.

But what’s so special about this ring for Necromancers? Well, here’s its unique effect:
- You automatically activate the following equipped Skills on Corpses around you:
- Raise Skeleton every [2.0-1.0] seconds.
- Corpse Explosion every [2.0-1.0] seconds.
- Corpse Tendrils every [16-8] seconds.
Unfortunately, you must have the Skills equipped for the Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul to work, but it’s a pretty powerful ring otherwise. In terms of Affixes, here’s what it can offer:
- Resistance to Poison
- Resistance to All Elements
- Lucky Hit Chance
- Maximum Life
- Maximum Essence
- Ranks of all Corpse Skills
If you’re playing a Necromancer this season, or any future season, you should look out for the Ring of the Sacrilegious Soul. Yes, these Malignant Rings are available in both Seasonal and Eternal Realms.
Diablo 4 is available on Battle.net, PlayStation, and Xbox.
