Path of Exile 2: Unveiling the Secrets of Delirium

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

Path of Exile 2 features four major endgame Atlas map events: Rituals, Breaches, Expeditions, and Delirium. Delirium, a returning mechanic from previous PoE leagues, offers 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 Delirium events are marked with a distinctive white and black icon resembling the Delirium Mirror. You can also guarantee Delirium events by placing a Delirium Precursor Tablet in a Lost Tower.

Within a Delirium map, locate the multicolored Delirium Mirror near your spawn. 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 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.

Two random bosses, Kosis and Omniphobia, may appear during a Delirium encounter. These are full-fledged bosses, not Rare enemies. They can also appear during the Simulacrum Pinnacle event.

The Delirium Pinnacle Event: Simulacrum

Each endgame event provides items to summon a Pinnacle Boss. High-tier Waystones in Delirium yield Simulacrum Splinters. Accumulate 300 Splinters to create a Simulacrum and place it in the Realmgate.

The Simulacrum is a 15-wave encounter with escalating difficulty. Delirium bosses have an increased chance of spawning in later waves. Completion rewards two Delirium Passive Skill points.

Navigating the Delirium Passive Skill Tree

The Delirium Passive Skill Tree, located within the Atlas Passive Skill Tree (top-left button on the Atlas Map, then top-right), modifies Delirium events. It features eight Notable nodes and eight nodes increasing Simulacrum difficulty.

Each Simulacrum completion grants two Passive Skill points. Increasing Simulacrum difficulty is necessary to reach new Notable nodes.

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 to allocate Passive Skill Points.

Distilled Emotions also add guaranteed Modifiers to Waystones, increasing Delirious debuff and mob power.

Simulacrum Splinters create the Simulacrum for the 15-wave event, rewarding Delirium Passive points and a guaranteed Unique item.
