Strategy
This is a Delirium “boss rush” farming strategy: instead of clicking the Delirium mirror at the start of a map, you skip it, rush straight to the boss, then return and trigger the mirror so every Delirium reward spawns in one pile at the end. Kill the boss, then end the Delirium counter to bank a random stack of Simulacrum Splinters — anywhere from ~10 to 60+ per map. It is an Alch-and-Go method that needs no city setup and works as your main profit engine, as your map-to-map travel method while hunting Citadels, or both at once.
It works because Simulacrum Splinters hold strong value (~7 divines per Simulacrum, i.e. roughly half a divine of guaranteed splinter profit on an average 20-splinter map), and you stack incidental drops — Chaos, Exalts and Divines off rares and the boss — on top. With a fast clearing build the creator estimates 30–40 divines per hour while also subsidizing Citadel and Grand Mirror setups.
Atlas Tree & Setup
A fully completed Delirium Atlas tree is mandatory — take all of it. Outside the Delirium cluster only generic rarity, rare-monster and pack-size nodes matter; biome nodes don’t, since you aren’t juicing cities. Have most of the Atlas completed so you benefit from the boss and rarity multipliers. For the Atlas master, Juggernaut is preferred (increased tablet effect → more splinters, and it reveals Anointed maps like Jade Islands); Doryani is a fine alternative for faster Atlas traversal.
Tablets: three Delirium tablets, any will do for Alch-and-Go. The two best mods are increased Simulacrum Splinter stack size and “Delirium counters more likely to spawn a unique boss” — run one or both. The creator uses the cheaper single-mod tablets (~half a divine per three) rather than the GG double-mod versions.
Investment & Returns
- Investment: low — three cheap Delirium tablets plus a full Delirium Atlas tree
- Returns: ~30–40 divines/hour with a fast clearing build, plus expensive oils (3–9 div each) dropping several times a day
- Scales further by Alching every map to spawn Grand Mirror city maps, which the creator juices for ~40 divines profit each
Step-by-step
- Enter the map; your Delirium mirror spawns — do NOT click it.
- Rush to the boss checkpoint, skipping mobs unless rares are convenient.
- Return to the start, click the Delirium mirror, then wait ~10–15s for the bar to fill.
- You teleport to the end, where all map rewards have piled up.
- Kill the boss, THEN end the Delirium counter (ending it before the kill forfeits the rewards).
- Collect your Simulacrum Splinters and continue to the next map / Citadel.
Risks
- Splinter stack size is random — individual maps can roll low
- Profit/hour scales hard with build clear speed; a slow build earns far less
- Requires the full Delirium Atlas tree before it is worth running
