Delirium

Delirium is a type of map encounter.

Mechanics

Certain maps may contain a Delirium Mirror near the starting area of the map. Walking through the mirror will create Delirium Fog that spreads and dissipates outwards from that point in a ring shape. While in the fog, Delirium monsters may spawn, and existing monsters deal more damage and take less damage based on the absolute distance from the starting point. The longer and farther the fog travels, the higher the Delirium. Additionally, rare and unique monsters may gain Delirium modifiers, often manifesting as arena hazards or mirages that attack the player or granting benefits to monsters.

Defeating monsters builds up the reward counter that appears near the life globe; after the Delirium encounter ends by leaving the fog for over 5 seconds or manually ending the Delirium, the accumulated rewards will drop in the form of Liquid Emotions (1 random type per reward icon) and Simulacrum SplintersSimulacrum SplinterStack Size: 300Consume at least 50 Splinters at the Realmgate to enter the Simulacrum.. The quantity of Simulacrum Splinters dropped scales with map tier.

Players are also guaranteed 1 Simulacrum Splinter per reward icon filled.

Delirium fog is paused temporarily during the following situations:

• While not in the area
• For X seconds after killing a rare monster
• For X seconds during certain encounters (Only the inner ring of the fog will pause. The outer ring will continue expanding.)
• While a strongbox is opened
• For X seconds after completing a strongbox
• etc.

Delirium bosses (Omniphobia, Fear Manifest and Kosis, The Revelation) can sometimes appear in the Delirium fog. Like other Delirium monsters, they must be defeated before the fog dissipates or they will disappear without leaving items. If defeated successfully, they will drop a larger stack of Simulacrum SplintersSimulacrum SplinterStack Size: 300Consume at least 50 Splinters at the Realmgate to enter the Simulacrum..

Fracturing Mirrors

Fracturing Mirrors

Tooltip

Fracturing Mirrors are structures found in Delirium Fog that shatter when you get near them, spawning Delirium monsters.

Fracturing Mirrors are structures that appear as spires of glass emitting pulses of light that are found in the Delirium fog. They shatter when players approach, spawning packs of Delirium monsters.

Instilled maps

By instilling a map with up to 3 Liquid Emotions, it is possible to add an enchantment that also causes a permanent Delirium fog to persist throughout the entire map. The Deliriousness is determined by the combination of Liquid Emotions and is a static value.

When Delirium is added this way, there is no reward counter and it is not possible to end the Delirium fog. Liquid Emotions cannot be obtained in these kinds of maps. However, Delirium monsters can still be encountered and will drop Simulacrum Splinters directly.

Delirium scaling

The exact effects and scaling of Deliriousness are currently unknown. However, it appears to grant a scaling amount of increased damage, less damage taken, and extra item rarity to monsters.

Delirium scales up to the following percentages:

• An unspecified amount in Delirium mirror maps scaling with distance (likely up to 100%)
• Up to 150% in maps instilled with 3x Concentrated Liquid IsolationConcentrated Liquid IsolationStack Size: 10

Version history

Version	Changes
0.3.0	Currently, access to most Pinnacle Content requires the same key at the easiest, and most difficult version of the content. This creates a negative feeling where at lower difficulties, instead of wanting to run the content, you're often better off just selling it to someone who can run it at maximum difficulty. To address this, each content (excluding The Arbiter of Ash) will now drop Splinters, which will not form into singular Items. Instead of using the singular, combined item in the Realmgate, you can now just bring your Splinters. Upon inserting the splinters into the Realmgate, an interface will appear allowing you to pick your difficulty, each with a different entry cost. As a result of this change, the corresponding Atlas Passive Trees no longer affects the difficulty of the content, and has been changed to purely affect the content in the Maps on the Atlas.
0.2.0g	Increased the amount of Item Rarity per depth in Delirium encounters. It increases to approximately 2.5 times what it was before. The Delirious percentage scaling with waves in SimulacrumSimulacrumHow do you defeat that which dwells within you?Right click this item to create a stack of 100 Simulacrum Splinters. has been reduced. Each wave now adds 5% Delirious (previously 10%), up to a maximum of 75% at Difficulty zero (previously 100%), and 115% at Difficulty 4 (previously 140%). Many Simulacrum modifiers have had the benefits they provide to Delirium Monsters reduced. Delirium splinter drop rates have been increased by +80%.
0.2.0e	Delirium encounters now last approximately 2.5 times longer. The front of the Delirium Fog can now continue expanding while doing other mechanics, though the back of the fog will still pause. This prevents scenarios where you pause the fog while on the edge of it and accidentally end the Delirium. Strongboxes now pause Delirium fog when they are opened, in addition to the pause they already had on completion.
0.2.0	Extra content, such as Breach, Delirium, Expedition and Ritual, now start spawning further away from The Ziggurat Refuge. Delirium Encounters in Maps now reward 1 Simulacrum Splinter each time a reward type is filled. Simulacrum Splinters can now be obtained through Delirium Encounters in all Map Tiers, with the amount scaling up per Map Tier. The base number of Monsters spawned in Delirium Encounters has been reduced, and the number that emerge by touching Fracturing Mirrors has been greatly increased. Reduced the intensity of the fog in Delirium encounters. Breach and Delirium encounters are now considered complete when you open the Clasped Hand or Delirium Mirror.
0.1.1	Added dedicated 2D art for Waystones that are instilled with layers of Delirium. Objects such as Delirium Shards can no longer be pushed by other Monsters. Delirium Monsters are no longer untargetable during their emerge animation, as a result they should no longer push you during this.
0.1.0f	Fixed a bug where Rare monsters could pause Delirium mist for an extended period of time, even before touching the Mirror of Delirium. This could result in opening a mirror and having no monsters spawn, or the mist not expanding fully. In addition, Delirium mist is now paused for 10 seconds when opening a Strongbox (previously 5).
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
