Path of Exile 2: Delirium Unveiled

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

Path of Exile 2 features four primary endgame Atlas map events: Rituals, Breaches, Expeditions, and Delirium. Delirium, a returning mechanic from previous leagues, is detailed here. This guide covers initiating Delirium events, understanding the mechanics, accessing the Simulacrum Pinnacle map, utilizing the Delirium Passive Skill Tree, and maximizing rewards.

Understanding the Delirium Fog Mechanic

Atlas map nodes with guaranteed endgame events are marked with specific icons. A Delirium Mirror is indicated by a black and white icon resembling the mirror itself. You can guarantee a Delirium event by 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 circle of expanding Delirium Fog. Enemies within the fog are enhanced, and the difficulty increases with the fog's expansion. Leaving the fog ends the encounter.

Enemies inside the fog drop valuable rewards: Distilled Emotions (used for crafting) and Simulacrum Splinters (for summoning the Pinnacle Boss). Fractured Mirrors within the fog spawn additional waves of enemies and loot. Be aware of potential encounters with the bosses Kosis and Omniphobia, who possess significant health pools.

The Simulacrum Pinnacle Event

Each endgame event offers Pinnacle Boss summoning items. High-tier Waystones in Delirium Fog yield Simulacrum Splinters. Accumulate 300 splinters to create a Simulacrum, placing it in the Realmgate to access the 15-wave Simulacrum event. Difficulty escalates with each wave, increasing the chance of encountering Delirium bosses. Completion rewards two Delirium Passive Skill points.

The Delirium Passive Skill Tree

Located within the Atlas Passive Skill Tree (top-right section), the Delirium Passive Skill Tree modifies Delirium events. It features eight Notable nodes and eight nodes increasing Simulacrum difficulty. Each Simulacrum completion grants two passive points, necessitating increased difficulty for each new Notable node.

Here are some notable passive skills:

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.

Delirium Event Rewards

Delirium Fog-affected enemies drop Distilled Emotions. Bosses also frequently drop them. These currencies anoint amulets with Notable Passive Skills, eliminating the need for passive skill point investment.

Distilled Emotions also add guaranteed modifiers to Waystones, increasing Delirious debuff percentages. Simulacrum Splinters create Simulacrums for the 15-wave event, rewarding passive points and unique equipment.
