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

Path of Exile 2's Atlas map features four major endgame encounters: Rituals, Breaches, Expeditions, and Delirium. This guide focuses on Delirium, a returning mechanic from previous leagues, detailing its initiation, mechanics, rewards, and the Simulacrum Pinnacle event.

Understanding Delirium and the Fog Mechanic

On the Atlas, map nodes hosting guaranteed Delirium events are marked with a distinctive white and black icon resembling the Delirium Mirror. You can 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 swirling circle of Fog. This Fog expands, increasing enemy difficulty. Leaving the Fog ends the encounter and resets the map.

Enemies within the Fog are enhanced and drop unique Delirium 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.

The Delirium Pinnacle Event: Simulacrum

Each endgame event offers Pinnacle Boss summoning items. High-tier Waystones in Delirium yield Simulacrum Splinters. Accumulate 300 Splinters to create a Simulacrum, placing it in the Realmgate to access the 15-wave Simulacrum event. Difficulty escalates with each wave, increasing the likelihood of encountering Kosis and Omniphobia. Completion rewards two Delirium Passive Skill points.

The Delirium Passive Skill Tree

The Delirium Passive Skill Tree, located on the Atlas Passive Skill Tree (top-right section), modifies Delirium events. It features eight Notable nodes and eight nodes increasing Simulacrum difficulty. Each Simulacrum completion grants two passive points, necessitating increased difficulty for each new Notable node.

Notable Delirium Passive Nodes and Effects:

Prioritize "You Can't Just Wake Up From This One," "Get Out Of My Head!," and "They're Coming To Get You" for optimal rewards 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 for Passive Skill Point investment.

Distilled Emotions also enhance Waystones, increasing Delirious debuffs and mob power. Simulacrum Splinters, also dropped by enemies, combine to form the Simulacrum for the Pinnacle event, rewarding Delirium Passive points and a guaranteed Unique item.

All PoE 2 Distilled Emotions:

Distilled Ire Distilled Guilt Distilled Greed Distilled Paranoia Distilled Envy Distilled Disgust Distilled Despair Distilled Fear Distilled Suffering Distilled Isolation

This guide provides a complete overview of the Delirium endgame event in Path of Exile 2. Mastering these mechanics will significantly enhance your endgame progression.
