PoE2 Unveils Delirium's Foggy Secrets

Path of Exile 2: A Comprehensive Guide to Delirium Endgame Events

Path of Exile 2's Atlas map features four major endgame events: Rituals, Breaches, Expeditions, and Delirium. This guide focuses on Delirium, a returning mechanic from previous PoE leagues, detailing how to initiate events, navigate the encounter, utilize the passive skill tree, and maximize rewards.

Understanding the Delirium Fog Mechanic

On the Atlas, Delirium Mirror map nodes are marked with a distinctive white and black icon. Guaranteeing Delirium events requires placing a Delirium Precursor Tablet in a Lost Tower.

Within a Delirium map, locate the multicolored, shattered glass Delirium Mirror near your spawn. Activating it unleashes a swirling circle of Delirium Fog. The Fog's difficulty increases as you progress; exiting the Fog ends the encounter.

Enemies within the Fog are enhanced and drop unique rewards: Distilled Emotions (used in crafting) and Simulacrum Splinters (for summoning the Pinnacle Boss). Fractured Mirrors within the Fog spawn additional mobs and loot. Be aware of the potential encounters with the challenging bosses Kosis and Omniphobia, which can appear randomly during the event.

The Delirium Pinnacle Event: Simulacrum

High-tier Waystones yield Simulacrum Splinters. Accumulate 300 splinters to create a Simulacrum, placing it in the Realmgate to access a 15-wave challenge. Difficulty escalates with each wave, increasing the likelihood of encountering Kosis and Omniphobia. Completion grants two Delirium Passive Skill points.

Mastering the Delirium Passive Skill Tree

Located on the Atlas Passive Skill Tree (top-right), the Delirium Passive Skill Tree (distinguished by its white coloration) modifies Delirium events. It features eight Notable nodes and eight nodes increasing Simulacrum difficulty. Each Simulacrum completion rewards two passive points, necessitating increased difficulty for each new Notable node.

Notable Node Recommendations: Prioritize "You Can't Just Wake Up From This One," "Get Out Of My Head!," and "They're Coming To Get You..." for optimal reward increases without significant drawbacks.

Maximizing Delirium Rewards

Delirium Fog-affected enemies drop Distilled Emotions. Bosses also frequently drop these unique currencies, used to Anoint amulets with Notable Passive Skills, eliminating the need for passive skill point investment. They can also enhance Waystones with guaranteed Delirious debuffs. Simulacrum Splinters, dropped by enemies, combine to create a Simulacrum, leading to a unique event with guaranteed Unique equipment.
