[Nerfed] Delirium Rush is Insane, Cheap and Profitable Strat - Path of Exile 2

Strategy

This is a Delirium boss-rush farming strategy that turns ordinary maps into a steady stream of Simulacrum Splinters. The trick is to delay the Delirium encounter: instead of activating the mirror at the start, you rush the map boss first, then trigger Delirium from the start checkpoint so that all of the run’s rewards spawn together at the end of the map. Kill the boss, end the Delirium counter, and collect a random stack of Simulacrum Splinters (anywhere from ~10 to 60+).

It works because it’s a pure Alch-and-go method — any three Delirium tablets are enough, no city setup required. That makes it cheap, beginner-friendly, and flexible: you can run it as a dedicated profit farm, as your travel method between Citadels, or to set up future juiced maps. The creator estimates roughly 30-40 divines per hour at current prices with a fast clearing build.

It’s described as low-investment and something anyone can do, while also subsidizing longer-term goals like Citadel hunting and Grand Mirror juicing.

Atlas Tree & Setup

You want the full Delirium Atlas tree completed — this is mandatory to get the most splinters and profit. Outside of the Delirium nodes the rest of the tree matters little; the creator simply takes rarity, rare monsters and pack size where convenient. Most of the Atlas should be completed so boss multipliers and quantity bonuses apply. For the master/mission layer, Juggernaut is preferred (increased tablet effect = more splinters, plus it reveals anointed maps); Doryani is a good alternative for fast Atlas travel via hidden patterns. Specifics to confirm against the source video.

Investment & Returns

Investment: low — three Delirium tablets per map (roughly half a divine to one divine per three tablets); no city or expensive setup
Returns: high — an estimated 30-40 divines/hour with a fast build, averaging ~20 splinters per map (about half a divine guaranteed per map at ~7 div per Simulacrum)
Scaling: two tablet mods boost it — increased Simulacrum Splinter stack size, and Delirium counters more likely to spawn a unique boss. You can stack both for maximum profit or run just the cheaper one

Step-by-step

Enter the map but DO NOT take the Delirium mirror — skip it
Rush to the boss checkpoint (clear rares/expedition along the way if convenient)
Go back to the start and click the Delirium mirror, then wait ~10-15 seconds at the checkpoint for the bar to fill
Teleport to the end where all rewards have now spawned together
Kill the boss, THEN end the Delirium counter (ending it before the kill forfeits the Grand Empyrean reward)
Collect the Simulacrum Splinters; optionally run Alched maps this way to spawn Grand Mirrors in your cities for future juicing

Risks

Profit-per-hour scales heavily with build clear speed — a slow build earns far less
Ending the Delirium counter before killing the boss loses the splinter payout
Best returns require the full Delirium Atlas tree and most of the Atlas completed first
It’s volatile per-map: splinter stack size is random (10-60+), so profit smooths out over many maps rather than per run
