While it's true that the three primary Malignant Invokers—Brutal, Devious, and Vicious—prove relatively easy to acquire through normal gameplay during Season of the Malignant, one eludes players. The Wrathful Malignant Invoker is the strongest of the Invokers, and one will summon the toughest Malignant Bosses in the game with some of the best loot available — but there are no guarantees.
To acquire the Wrathful Malignant Invoker in Diablo 4, players will need to grind. Of course, that's the name of the game, but the Wrathful Invoker may break a few players along the way. This guide will help make acquiring the Invoker easier!
How To Acquire Wrathful Malignant Invoker
Unlike with other Malignant Invokers, which will occasionally drop from Malignant-afflicted mobs, the Wrathful Invoker may prove a bit rarer. The only surefire way to get a Wrathful Invoker is via crafting at Cormond's Workbench. Players will find the Workbench in either central Kyovashad or immediately south of Ked Bardu.
Once at the Workbench, players must select the 'Crafted Cache' menu, then track down "Uncertain Invoker." This is the critical component of the Wrathful Malignant Invoker, and sadly it only offers a chance at receiving a Wrathful Invoker, not a guarantee.
That's right; even after spending the resources and tracking down the Workbench while slaying demons, there's no 100% guarantee that players will craft a Wrathful Malignant Invoker. That's why it's such a grind! Players will likely have to prepare the item multiple times to ensure the drop.
Wrathful Malignant Invoker Cost
- 1000 Gold
- 40 Devious Malignant Ichor
- 40 Brutal Malignant Ichor
- 40 Vicious Malignant Ichor
But again, there's a kicker! To craft a Wrathful Malignant Invoker, players must acquire the various Malignant Ichor—a rare and crucial crafting component primarily available via farming World Events. Players may also wish to farm Malignant Tunnels, as enemies there have a minor chance of dropping Ichor.
How To Use Wrathful Malignant Invoker
Like the three other Malignant Invokers in Season of the Malignant, once players craft the consumable and traverse a Malignant Tunnel to the final chamber, it's simply a matter of using the Wrathful Invoker on the Pustules. But, unlike the other Invokers, the Wrathful version will summon a more challenging final boss to tackle. These powerful bosses, typically accompanied by trash mobs, will drop high-tier gear, like legendary items and crafting resources.
If players want to make the most of the season, it's absolutely worth the grind to craft Wrathful Malignant Invokers.
