Delirium in Path of Exile 2 (POE 2) isn't just an endgame mechanic; it's a key strategy for improving your gameplay through better loot, increased mob density, and access to unique challenges like the Simulacrum. Here's how to make Delirium easy and profitable with 21 key tips:
Understanding Delirium
Basic mechanics: Delirium appears on maps with a symbol indicating a Delirium Mirror. You activate it by walking through the mirror, which spreads a fog across the map. Within the fog, you'll encounter nightmare monsters that will increase your distilled emotion count for rewards.
Delirium on maps: You can also force Delirium by using
precursor tablets on map towers. This ensures that your maps always have a Delirium encounter.
Delirium Rewards
Distilled Emotions: These are collected by killing nightmare foes. They're used to improve maps, assign passive skills to amulets, or sold for currency. Higher levels of Emotions have more powerful effects.
Splinters: Essential to the operation of the Simulacrum, these drop from red tier maps (
Waystone tiers 11+). They're crucial for the Pinnacle Delirium challenge.
Making Delirium Easy
Stay in the fog: Avoid leaving the fog to prevent the encounter from ending prematurely.
Mini-Bosses: Kill Kosis and Omniphobia when encountered for their valuable drops and extra
essence.
Early exit option: Use the stop button when you've collected enough Emotions or when the map runs out.
Movement Speed: High movement speed will help you keep up with the spreading fog and ensure you don't miss out on any potential loot.
Use of distilled emotions: Apply emotions to
waystones or
amulets for benefits such as increased magical monster count, package size, or item rarity.
Delirious Cards: Make your maps Delirious for guaranteed fog and increased density without having to find
mirrors.
Combine with other mechanics: Delirium can be combined with other map mods for enhanced effects, but not simultaneously with another Delirium layer.
Distilled Emotions Varieties
Types and uses:
Isolation: Increases the number of magical monsters.
Guilt: Increases stack size.
Greed: Increases item rarity.
Envy: Drop more waystones.
Disgust: Increases the chance of dropping precursor tablets.
Despair: Increases the size of splinter stacks.
Fear, Suffering, Isolation: Special modifiers such as extra mod chances for rare or unique monsters.
Reforging Emotions: Transforms three lower level emotions into one higher level emotion for strategic use.
Simulacrum - The pinnacle of delirium
Preparation: Collect 300 shards to create a
Simulacrum, which will be placed in the Realm Gate on the Atlas Tree.
Challenge: Face 15 waves of mobs, each with increasing difficulty.
Rewards: Each wave offers rewards, but the ultimate prize comes from the 15th wave, including unique items, high-level emotions and currency.
Survival Tips:
Chill and freeze resistance: Invest in nodes such as Icebreaker to mitigate these dangerous effects.
Crowd Control: Effective area damage to manage mob density.
Pause and Logout: Use the escape key for strategic pauses or to reset a dire situation by logging out and back in.
Maximising value
Unique drops: Focus on the vials from the Simulacrum, which can be worth up to 25
divine, funding multiple runs.
Currency and Items: In addition to flasks, Simulacrum can drop high value currency and unique items.
Atlas Skill Tree: Improve delirium drops or difficulty with nodes, but choose wisely based on the strength of your build.
Splinter Farming: Delirium maps are your primary source of splinters. Aim for efficiency on every run.
Re-evaluate your strategy: If the basic mobs in Simulacrum are too tough, consider tweaking your build or waiting for potential balance changes.
