Strategy
This is a single-strategy currency farm built on one habit: run Delirium maps and rush straight to the boss. Rather than min-maxing map zones or hunting perfect layouts, you walk in a straight line until you hit a Delirium beam, follow it, kill everything Delirium or unique on the way, and gun for the map boss every time. Because Delirium scales as you move through the map, boss-rushing doesn’t fight the mechanic — it complements it.
The payoff comes from two stacked sources: the Delirium reward table (Simulacrum splinters, oils, and jackpot uniques like Voices/Megalomaniac) plus the fragments dropped by big bosses — Citadels, the new Matriarch Halls, and Anomaly maps. The creator reports roughly 55 Divines of value in about 4.5 hours of fairly relaxed play, not counting raw currency picked up off the ground, and bought a Mageblood off the back of it.
It’s a low-effort, low-investment loop: rarity barely matters (he runs ~57% and says movement speed is more valuable), tablets aren’t strictly min-maxed, and the whole thing is meant to be run alongside normal mapping.
Atlas Tree & Setup
The fourth tablet slot for this strat comes from the Atlas tree and only works in city biomes, so spec into that. You also need the Atlas node that enables Simulacrum splinters to drop — without it, clicking the end-of-map button gives nothing. On Delirium tablets, prioritise increased Delirium stack size and monster effectiveness, plus the “more unique bosses” mod (those bosses drop oils and 20-30 splinters each). Run one Overseer tablet for boss-rush quantity. Use JOriath’s Spycraft node (increased chance to find lineage gems) while mapping, and Doriani for effectiveness plus the extra prefix/suffix modifier. Specifics to confirm against the source video.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: low — tablets are run as they drop, no strict min-maxing; rarity gear is optional
- Returns: high — ~55 Divines / 4.5 hours in the creator’s session, plus Simulacrum and boss-fragment jackpots
- Scaling: improves with Delirium stack-size and unique-boss tablet mods, and with waystone-drop tablets swapped in for Citadel/Matriarch boss fights
Step-by-step
- Spec the Atlas for the city-biome fourth tablet AND the Simulacrum-splinter-drop node.
- Slot Delirium tablets (stack size + monster effectiveness + more unique bosses) and one Overseer tablet.
- Enter a Delirium map, walk straight until you find the beam, then follow it.
- Kill Delirium and unique monsters on the way, but keep moving toward the map boss.
- For Citadels / Matriarch Halls, pull your tablets and swap to waystone-drop-chance tablets so the boss drops more fragments (often 2-3 each).
- Collect Simulacrum splinters, oils and Raven Reflection boss invites at map end; sell the invites for a few Divines each.
Risks
- Simulacrum has a known bug where it sometimes spawns monsters outside the arena and fails to complete
- It’s heavily RNG-driven — the big Anomaly-map and Simulacrum jackpots may go dry for long stretches
- Boss-rushing means skipping Atlas-point fortresses; you trade progression for raw currency speed
- Splinter sustain isn’t guaranteed — you may need to buy tablets to keep running
