Delirium

Delirium is a zone-wide effect that spawns new enemies and empowers existing ones. The Delirium Mirror version of the encounter is considered Extra Content and has a baseline greater than 8% chance to appear in any non-unique map area. Delirium orbs can also be applied to a map to add a baseline level of deliriousness and rewards; they can also be found with layers of Delirium on them (known as Delirium maps).

Encounter rate

Delirium Mirrors can appear from the Torched Courts in Act 5 onwards at a rate >8%. They stop appearing for characters with level 72 and higher for areas with level lower than 65^[1].

In maps, Delirium Mirrors have a baseline greater than 8% chance to appear in a zone. Delirium maps cannot normally drop but can be obtained from sources of Delirium rewards or with the Pathological notable atlas passive.

Mechanics

Delirium Mirror

Randomly while players are completing the acts or running Maps, a Mirror of Delirium will spawn. They will always spawn within a close distance from the zone entrance. Once a player passes through it, it spawns a gray mist that spreads outwards throughout the map, beginning the Delirium encounter.

Encounter

New enemies and hazards can spawn within the mist and existing enemies can receive a Delirium modifier, making them stronger or giving them new attacks. All enemies in the mist are Delirious, giving them increased damage and damage reduction.

In a Delirium mirror encounter, the further out you are in the mist, the stronger the deliriousness effect. In delirium maps, the deliriousness percentage remains constant.

Enemies killed in the mist in maps can drop Cluster Jewels and Simulacrum SplintersSimulacrum SplinterStack Size: 300Combine 300 Splinters to create a Simulacrum..

As you kill enemies inside the mist, a reward bar on the bottom left will start filling up. For Delirium mirror encounters, filling the bar completely will increase the counter, and cause you to gain the indicated reward type after the Delirium encounter ends. Additionally, when the first bar reaches level 3, a second reward bar will appear at level 1; at level 5, a third reward bar appears, and so on every 2 reward level.

Delirious maps do not grant additional reward bars at certain levels. All reward bars increase in level simultaneously instead and drop the indicated rewards each time you reach a new reward level instead of all at once after the encounter ends.

The Unending Nightmare keystone prevents Delirium mirror encounters from dissipating and also prevents them from being ended manually. Rewards are dropped on reaching a new reward level like Delirious maps, but will still grant an additional reward bar every 2 levels.

Scaling

Higher percentages of Delirium increase both monster damage and monster damage reduction. Through empirical testing and official reference points at 100% Deliriousness, it was possible to obtain the following scaling estimates^[2].

Deliriousness %	Increased damage^[3]	Less damage taken (Unique)^[4]^[2]	Less damage taken (Rare)^[2]	Less damage taken (Magic)^[2]	Less damage taken (Normal)^[2]
20%	6%	16%	18%	20%	19% _(19.2)
40%	12%	32%	36%	40%	38% _(38.4)
60%	18%	48%	54%	60%	58% _(57.6)
80%	24%	64%	73%* Expected value is 72; other values for Rare monsters are consistent otherwise.	80%	77% _(76.8)
100%	30%	80%	90%	96%* Expected value is 100; likely hard-capped to prevent monsters from being unkillable.	96%

Additionally, it is speculated that it provides an overall more multiplier to monster item quantity and rarity^[5]^{[better source needed]}. However, there are several caveats to this that are being investigated by the Prohibited Library. Monsters from strongboxes^[6], as well as possibly other monsters that are not immediately spawned on entering an area, do not appear to be affected by this multiplier.

Deliriousness %	More Monster Item Quantity^[5]	More Monster Item Rarity^[5]
20%	10%	20%
40%	20%	40%
60%	30%	60%
80%	40%	80%
100%	50%	100%

Timer

Delirium mirror encounters only last a short period of time. After a certain period of time, the mist will stop spreading and start to dissipate outwards in a donut shape. If you step out of the mist for more than 5 seconds, the Delirium encounter will end. Delirium monsters disappear when they are outside the mist and native monsters will have their Delirium modifiers removed. The encounter can also be prematurely ended by pressing a button on the bottom right (which can be key bound). Certain actions will pause or extend the time before the mist stops spreading. The mist also stops moving while there are no players in the instance.

The following will pause the mist timer:

While no players are present in the instance
During an Immortal Syndicate Research encounter
During an Incursion encounter
During a Legion Timeless Monolith encounter
During a Breach encounter
Being within range of an active Blight
While in the Sacred Grove
While a Ritual Altar is activated

The following will extend the mist timer:

Opening a Strongbox
Defeating a monster holding an Essence
Capturing a red Beast
Defeating an Immortal Syndicate group
An Abyss crack starts moving to the next direction
Completing a Blight encounter
Defeating a Metamorph
Defeating a Harbinger

The Unending Nightmare Atlas keystone passive prevents the mist from dissipating. It also prevents you from manually ending the Delirium encounter.

Delirious map modifier

Map items can be affected by a special modifier that covers the entire map in mist permanently. The mechanics are similar to the Delirium encounter that can randomly occur in a map, with the following exceptions:

There is no Delirium Mirror. Delirium is already active from the moment the map begins.
There is no timer. Delirium is permanently present throughout the entire map.
Rewards drop each time the bar is filled, instead of dropping only when the timer expires. The number of reward bars do not increase at certain thresholds.

This modifier has five levels of strength, expressed as a percentage -- 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, or 100%. The higher the percentage, the tougher the monsters and the greater the rewards. Enemies at very high Delirious percentages are extremely difficult, with even normal rarity enemies becoming comparable to high-tier map bosses.

Map items can drop with this modifier present at any of the five levels of strength. Delirium orbs can be used on map items. An orb adds 20% delirium to a map item that does not already have the delirious modifier, or increases the map's existing delirium strength by one level (20%).

Omniphobia (in any tier map) and Kosis (in T11+ maps) each have a chance to appear equal to the deliriousness percentage. Allocating Delusions of Persecution and its preceding small passive skills increases the chance to spawn these bosses by 156%, guaranteeing boss encounters in maps with at least 40% deliriousness.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.23.0	Catalysts are no longer offered as Ritual Rewards, or a reward type for Delirium Rewards. Metamorph rewards from Heist, Expedition, Betrayal, Delirium, Legion and Eldritch Altars have been replaced with Ultimatum rewards. When Delirium fog has ceased its movement due to players engaging in other League content, walking out of the mist will no longer cause the Delirium fog to dissipate.
3.20.0	Delirium mist now pauses for ten seconds when you first interact with the Sanctum Map in an area. We want to improve on the concept that the Atlas Tree allows players to invest into leagues that they enjoy, and have added new clusters to the passive tree for league content that can be blocked through Atlas Passive Skills. We've also increased the chances for such league content to appear.
3.18.0	The chance for Map Areas to contain a Mirror of Delirium no longer increases by a small amount for each other league, atlas or master mechanic that appears in that area. Instead, Map Areas now have an 8% chance to contain a Mirror of Delirium, with campaign areas from the Torched Courts onwards having a slightly higher chance.
3.14.0	Reduced the chance for Map Areas to contain a Delirium Mirror by approximately 20%. The chance to encounter a Zana mission containing a Delirium encounter has also been lowered by the same amount. The Quantity and Rarity bonus applied to monsters from Delirium encounters has been lowered as is now more consistent across Monster rarities. Previously, Monsters of Normal rarity had a disproportionately larger amount of Quantity and Rarity being applied to them compared to Monsters of higher rarities.
3.11.0	Delirium has been added to the core game. From the Torched Courts onwards, you'll have approximately a 5% chance to encounter a Mirror of Delirium in each area. Once you reach the Atlas, that chance will increase by a small amount for each other league, atlas or master mechanic that appears in that area. In other words, if your goal is to encounter Mirrors of Delirium then you are encouraged to use your Zana modifiers, master missions, sextants, and whatever else you have available to you. You'll now have a greater chance of finding Cluster Jewels through Delirium encounters, proportional to the number of rewards you earn during that encounter.
3.10.1c	Active Legion encounters now cause Delirium mist to pause its movement during both the Frozen phase and the Combat phase (previously was just the Frozen phase). Active Blight encounters now cause Delirium mist to pause its movement while you are within a large radius of Blight Portals, rather than the Ichor Pump. This is because Blight Portals can sometimes spawn very far away!
3.10.0e	Delirium mist now stops moving while all players in the area are engaged in a Blight Encounter, Betrayal Research encounter, Legion Encounter, Breach or Incursion. Activating or completing several time-consuming gameplay elements causes the Delirium mist to stop moving for a set amount of time based on the encounter type. The following conditions cause the Delirium mist to stop moving: an Abyss crack reaching its next location, defeating a Harbinger, defeating a Metamorph, defeating a Red Bestiary beast, defeating an Essence Rare monster, opening a Perandus chest, opening a Strongbox, completing a Blight encounter, completing a Legion encounter and defeating a Betrayal target. When you fulfill the requirements for a reward for the third time in a Delirium encounter, an additional reward type is now added and its requirements automatically fulfilled for the first reward. The new reward is fulfilled in tandem with the initial reward. In addition, when you fulfill the requirements for the initial reward a fifth time, a second reward type is added (again with the requirements automatically fulfilled for the first reward). These rewards are chosen at the exclusion of each other. Reduced the likelihood of receiving Generic, Weapon, Armour and Trinket reward types. Delirium mist now stops moving when no players are in the instance. This should allow players to leave an area to vendor and trade items during a Delirium encounter more freely.
3.10.0d	Delirium modifiers are now applied on a per-pack basis. This means that a given pack of monsters will only have a single Delirium modifier, rather than potentially having a variety of different modifiers. Reduced the difficulty of Delirium monsters at each mist depth. Significantly reduced the chance of Delirium modifiers appearing on monsters.
3.10.0	Introduced to the game.
