PoE2: Delirium: Fog Impact, Perks, Rewards

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 PoE 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

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 guarantee 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 spawn. Activating it unleashes a swirling circle of Fog. This Fog expands, increasing enemy difficulty as you progress. Leaving the Fog ends the event 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. Be wary of Kosis and Omniphobia, full-fledged bosses that can randomly appear.

The Delirium Pinnacle Event: Simulacrum

Each endgame event offers items to summon a Pinnacle Boss. High-tier Waystones in Delirium yield Simulacrum Splinters. Accumulate 300 Splinters to create a Simulacrum, placing it in the Realmgate for access to a challenging 15-wave encounter. Difficulty escalates with each wave, increasing the likelihood 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), 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; increased difficulty is necessary for accessing new Notable nodes.

Notable Delirium Passive 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 these. Combine them to Anoint amulets with Notable Passive Skills, avoiding passive point expenditure.

Distilled Emotions can also enhance Waystones, increasing Delirious debuff percentages for more powerful mobs. Simulacrum Splinters, dropped by enemies, combine to create a Simulacrum for the Pinnacle event, yielding Delirium Passive points and a guaranteed unique item.

Distilled Envy Distilled Fear Distilled Isolation

Mastering these mechanics will significantly enhance your Path of Exile 2 endgame experience.
