Delirium: Fog, Grand Mirror, Simulacrum and Tangmazu

A Delirium Mirror is the entry point. Touching it wakes the fog, which then creeps outward from the mirror.

Monsters caught in the fog are empowered and yield richer rewards, so the encounter is a risk-reward push rather than a clean clear.

The fog has a fixed origin at the mirror; everything you kill inside it counts toward the Delirium reward, not just the mirror itself.

• Mirror starts the fog
• Fog buffs monsters and rewards
• Kill inside the fog for rewards

Fog spreads outward from the mirror. Plan your path so you chase the fog edge instead of backtracking through cleared ground.

Depth matters: the further the fog has spread and the longer you stay in it, the stronger monsters get and the better the drops.

If the fog is about to overtake a chokepoint you cannot clear, that is your signal to exit rather than die inside it.

• Fog grows from the mirror
• Deeper fog = stronger, richer
• Chase the edge, avoid backtrack

The Grand Mirror is the wider Delirium encounter on the Atlas. Entering it spreads fog across a much larger area than a normal mirror.

Clearing Grand Mirror content stacks the Delirious Effect on the map, which is what eventually generates the Simulacrum.

Treat the Grand Mirror as a commitment: it assumes you can handle heavily buffed monsters for the whole spread, not just a corner of the map.

• Wider fog than a normal mirror
• Builds Delirious Effect
• Assumes a buffed-monster-proof build

The Simulacrum is generated by building Delirious Effect through Delirium content. Once enough effect accrues, the Simulacrum becomes available.

The current 0.5 Simulacrum is its own encounter with a wave layout that ends in a boss; do not follow old 15-wave footage, which no longer matches.

Simulacrum Splinters feed the Simulacrum economy; confirm the current combine and entry method on the live item, since it has changed across versions.

• Built from Delirious Effect
• Current waves end in a boss
• Old 15-wave guides are outdated

Distilled Emotions drop from Delirium content. They have two distinct uses, so decide before spending.

Use one to upgrade a map into a Delirious map for more Delirium reward, or use them to anoint an amulet with a passive-tree notable.

Do not mix the two uses casually: anointing consumes them permanently on the amulet, while map upgrades are a repeatable sink.

• Upgrade maps to Delirious
• Anoint amulets with notables
• Two separate uses, plan first

Tangmazu is the boss reached after completing the Simulacrum. The Simulacrum is the gate that opens the Tangmazu path.

Tangmazu assumes a character that already cleared the Simulacrum boss, so do not attempt it under-geared.

This guide covers the path and preparation; the boss page covers Tangmazu's attacks in detail once reachable.
