Path of Exile 2: Conquer Delirium Mists for Loot & Perks

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. 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 map nodes are identified by a distinctive white and black icon resembling the Delirium Mirror. 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 moving circle of Delirium Fog. Enemies within the fog are significantly stronger but offer unique rewards. Leaving the fog ends the encounter.

Enemies within the fog drop valuable items:

• Distilled Emotions: Used for crafting and anointing.
• Simulacrum Splinters: Used to summon the Pinnacle Boss.
• Fractured Mirrors: Interacting with these spawns additional mobs and loot.

Two random bosses, Kosis and Omniphobia, may appear during a Delirium encounter. These are full-fledged bosses, not just rare enemies.

The Delirium Pinnacle Event: Simulacrum

High-tier Waystones within Delirium offer a chance to drop Simulacrum Splinters. Accumulate 300 splinters to create a Simulacrum, placing it in the Realmgate to access the 15-wave Simulacrum event. Difficulty increases with each wave, and Delirium bosses have an increased chance to spawn in later waves. Completing the Simulacrum rewards two Delirium Passive Skill points.

Navigating the Delirium Passive Skill Tree

The Delirium Passive Skill Tree, located within the Atlas Passive Skill Tree, modifies Delirium events. It features eight Notable nodes and eight nodes increasing Simulacrum difficulty. Completing a Simulacrum grants two passive points. Increasing Simulacrum difficulty is necessary to access new Notable nodes.

Here's a summary of 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 Rewards

Delirium enemies within the fog drop Distilled Emotions. Bosses also frequently drop them. These currencies are used for:

• Anointing Amulets: Combine Distilled Emotions to add Notable Passive Skills to your amulet.
• Modifying Waystones: Add guaranteed Delirious debuffs, increasing mob numbers and power.

Simulacrum Splinters are combined to create the Simulacrum, leading to a unique 15-wave event with guaranteed unique equipment rewards.
