There are two main ways to get Delirium Orbs in Path of Exile (POE):
Completing Delirium Mirrors:
Finding Delirium Mirrors: These swirling purple portals appear randomly throughout maps. Entering a Delirium Mirror activates the Delirium mechanic in the zone, adding increasing difficulty and rewarding encounters with monsters.
Clearing the fog: As you defeat monsters within the Delirium fog, the fog clears, revealing more of the map and unlocking additional rewards. The goal is to clear as much fog as possible before the encounter timer runs out.
Obtaining Delirium Orbs: Successfully completing a Delirium encounter, by clearing enough fog or defeating the final boss, rewards you with a Delirium Orb among other potential drops.
Atlas Passive Points:
Investment in Atlas Tree: The Atlas Passive skill tree offers various nodes that increase your chances of encountering Delirium Mirrors or influence the rewards you get from them.
Specific Notable Passives: Look for notable passives like "Looming Delirium" or "Empowered Delirium" which directly increase the chance for Delirium Mirrors to spawn in your maps.
Additional Rewards: Certain passives, like "Unveiling the Past," grant a higher chance for Delirium Orbs to drop upon completing the encounter.
Here are some additional tips for maximizing your Delirium Orb acquisition:
Map Selection: Running higher-tier maps generally increases the chance of encountering Delirium Mirrors. However, balance this with your character’s ability to clear the map efficiently within the Delirium timer.
Prioritize Clearing: Focus on quickly clearing monsters and fog to maximize the area explored and potential rewards obtained in the Delirium encounter.
Gear and Build: Having a character build well-suited for clearing large packs of monsters is crucial for success in Delirium encounters.
Remember, Delirium encounters can be challenging, so ensure you’re prepared before venturing into the fog. By focusing on efficient clearing and strategically investing in Atlas passives, you’ll increase your chances of obtaining Delirium Orbs in Path of Exile.
