Path of Exile 2's Endgame: Mastering the Delirium Event
Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2) offers four major endgame encounters: Rituals, Breaches, Expeditions, and Delirium. Delirium, a returning mechanic from previous PoE leagues, is a challenging and rewarding endgame experience. This guide details how to initiate Delirium events, navigate the mechanics, access the Simulacrum Pinnacle map, utilize the Delirium Passive Skill Tree, and maximize your rewards.
Understanding the Delirium Fog Mechanic
On the Atlas, map nodes guaranteeing endgame events are marked with specific icons. Delirium Mirrors are indicated by a distinctive black and white icon. To ensure a Delirium event, place a Delirium Precursor Tablet in a Lost Tower.
Within a Delirium map, locate the multicolored, shattered-glass Delirium Mirror near your starting point. Activating it unleashes a swirling circle of Fog. This Fog expands, increasing enemy difficulty as you progress. Leaving the Fog ends the encounter and resets the map.
Enemies within the Fog are stronger and drop unique Delirium rewards: Distilled Emotions (used in crafting) and Simulacrum Splinters (for summoning the Pinnacle Boss). Fractured Mirrors, found within the map, trigger additional mob waves and loot opportunities. Be aware of the potential for random boss encounters with Kosis and Omniphobia—full bosses with substantial health pools.
The Simulacrum Pinnacle Event
Every endgame event provides items to summon a Pinnacle Boss. High-tier Waystones within Delirium Fog yield Simulacrum Splinters. Accumulate 300 splinters to create a Simulacrum for the Realmgate. This activates a 15-wave challenge, increasing difficulty with each wave. Kosis and Omniphobia have an increased chance of appearing in later waves. Completing the Simulacrum rewards two Delirium Passive points.
Navigating the Delirium Passive Skill Tree
The Delirium Passive Skill Tree, located within the Atlas Passive Skill Tree, modifies the Delirium event. It's easily identifiable by its white coloration and mirror shape. Eight Notable nodes and eight nodes increasing Simulacrum difficulty are available. Each new Notable node requires increasing the Simulacrum's difficulty.
| Notable Delirium Passive | Effect | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Get Out Of My Head! | Waystones have a 20% chance for an Instilled Emotion effect. | N/A |
| Would You Like To See My Face? | Delirium Fog doubles difficulty scaling but doubles Splinter stack size. | Get Out Of My Head! |
| You Can't Just Wake Up From This One | Delirium Fog dissipates 30% slower. | N/A |
| I'm Not Afraid Of You! | Delirium Bosses have 50% increased Life, but drop 50% more Splinters. | You Can't Just Wake Up From This One |
| They're Coming To Get You... | Delirium Encounters spawn Unique Bosses 25% more often; Rare kills pause Fog dissipation. | N/A |
| Isn't It Tempting? | 30% chance for an extra reward; Delirium Demons deal 30% increased Damage. | N/A |
| The Mirrors... The Mirrors! | Delirium Fog spawns Fractured Mirrors twice as often. | N/A |
| It's Not Real, It's Not Real! | Delirium enemies drop 50% more Reward progress; Fog dissipates 50% faster. | N/A |
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 Rewards
Delirium Fog-affected enemies drop Distilled Emotions. Bosses also frequently drop them. These Currencies anoint Amulets with Notable Passive Skills, avoiding Passive Skill Point investment. They can also add guaranteed Modifiers to Waystones. Simulacrum Splinters, obtained from enemies, combine to create a Simulacrum for the Pinnacle event, yielding Delirium Passive points and a guaranteed Unique item.
Mastering the Delirium event requires understanding its mechanics and strategically utilizing the Passive Skill Tree. By following this guide, you'll be well-equipped to conquer the Delirium Fog and reap its substantial rewards.
