Delirium AI Guides
Path of Exile (PoE) continually evolves with new and challenging league mechanics, and Delirium is one of the most intense and rewarding. Introduced in the Delirium league, this mechanic adds a layer of difficulty by shrouding the world in a fog of madness, amplifying the danger and rewards. This guide will provide an in-depth look at Delirium mechanics, how to engage with them, and strategies to maximize your gains.
Overview of Delirium Mechanics
Delirium introduces a new type of gameplay where players encounter a mirror that plunges the surrounding area into a dense mist, increasing the difficulty and rewards of all monsters within. This mechanic overlays existing content, enhancing the experience with additional challenges and opportunities.
As you venture deeper into the Delirium fog, the world around you warps and distorts. This encounter functions in several key ways:
- Empowered Enemies: Monsters within the fog gain increased power and difficulty the further you venture in.
- Reward Bar Progression: Killing Delirium-affected monsters fills a reward bar on your HUD. Filling sections unlocks different tiers of loot drops.
- Hidden Nightmares: Keep an eye out for shifting shadows within the fog. These can signify hidden Delirium bosses offering even greater challenges and rewards.
Activating Delirium
Delirium encounters are triggered by interacting with a Delirium Mirror, which can be found in various zones and maps. Upon activation, a gray fog envelops the area, and a timer starts. Players must navigate through this mist, defeating as many monsters as possible before the fog dissipates.
Key Features of Delirium Mechanics
- Delirium Fog: The mist increases monster density, health, damage, and loot. The deeper you venture into the fog, the more challenging the enemies become.
- Reward Types: Icons appear at the top of the screen indicating potential rewards (currency, maps, equipment, etc.). The more monsters you kill, the more these rewards accumulate.
- Simulacrum Splinters: Dropped by Delirium monsters, these can be combined to create a Simulacrum, an item that opens a portal to a challenging endgame encounter.
Delirium Orbs
Delirium Orbs are items that can be applied to maps, covering the entire map in Delirium mist and adding specific modifiers. These orbs come in various types, each enhancing the map in unique ways and affecting the rewards.
Types of Delirium Orbs:
- Currency Delirium Orb: Increases currency drops.
- Map Delirium Orb: Enhances map drops.
- Essence Delirium Orb: Boosts the drop rate of Essences.
- Divination Delirium Orb: Increases the chance of Divination Card drops.
- Fragment Delirium Orb: Boosts the drop rate of Fragments.
Cluster Jewels
Cluster Jewels are a unique reward from Delirium encounters that expand the passive skill tree. These jewels can be socketed into the outer rim of the skill tree, adding new passive nodes and opening up further customization for builds.
Types of Cluster Jewels:
- Large Cluster Jewels: Add notable passives and several small passives.
- Medium Cluster Jewels: Focus on specific mechanics or themes.
- Small Cluster Jewels: Provide specialized boosts.
Simulacrum
The Simulacrum is an endgame event created by combining 300 Simulacrum Splinters. This event pits players against 20 waves of increasingly difficult enemies in the Simulacrum arena. Completing the Simulacrum rewards players with valuable loot and unique items.
Strategies for Simulacrum:
- Build Preparation: Ensure your build can handle sustained combat against large waves of enemies with varied damage types.
- Mobility and Defense: High mobility and robust defensive mechanics are crucial for surviving the later waves.
- Focus on Bosses: Each wave culminates in a boss fight. Prioritize defeating these bosses quickly to manage the spawn of additional monsters.
Maximizing Your Delirium Experience
- Strategic Exploration: Balance venturing deeper into the fog for better rewards with maintaining your sanity. Utilize movement skills and focus on clearing monsters efficiently.
- Cluster Jewels: Invest in Cluster Jewels with specific Delirium modifiers to enhance your rewards or grant benefits like increased sanity regeneration.
- Delirium Orbs: Apply these orbs to maps to create a permanent Delirium fog, offering a greater challenge but potentially higher rewards.
Beyond the Basics: Advanced Delirium Techniques
- Atlas Passives: Allocate points in specific Atlas passives to increase Delirium encounter chances or enhance their rewards.
- Simulacrum Splinters: Defeating Delirium bosses grants Simulacrum Splinters. These can be used to enter challenging gauntlet-style encounters based on captured Delirium encounters.
- Simulacrum: The culmination of Delirium content, the Simulacrum is a challenging zone entirely shrouded in Delirium fog, offering the ultimate test of your skill and a chance at incredibly powerful rewards.
Strategies for Success in Delirium
To maximize your success in Delirium encounters, consider the following strategies:
- Clear Speed: High clear speed is essential to maximize kills within the Delirium timer, increasing your reward accumulation.
- AoE and Damage: Utilize skills with large area-of-effect and high damage output to efficiently manage the increased monster density.
- Survivability: Equip your character with strong defensive layers to withstand the amplified damage from Delirium monsters.
- Reward Management: Keep an eye on the reward icons at the top of the screen. Focus on areas that align with the rewards you seek.
- Use Delirium Orbs Wisely: Apply Delirium Orbs to maps that you can clear quickly and efficiently to maximize rewards.
Conclusion
The Delirium mechanic in Path of Exile offers a thrilling challenge with the potential for substantial rewards. By mastering the mechanics, optimizing your build for high clear speed and survivability, and strategically using Delirium Orbs, you can conquer the madness and reap the riches within the Delirium fog. Engage with the mist, push your limits, and emerge victorious. Happy hunting, Exiles!
