Some maps have been touched by insanity. A mysterious entity has taken special interest in you.

Step through the looking glass and you will find your nightmares coming to life. When you touch the mirror, the mists of Delirium will spread out across the area, infecting your mind.

You must stay within the mist to maintain the nightmare, which is as profitable as it is terrifying. Everything you kill will increase the rewards that drop.

However, the deeper into the mist you travel, the stronger the monsters are. Be careful not to overstay your welcome.

Rare and unique enemies will become vessels for terrifying demons who will manifest out of them to unleash powerful attacks on you.

• After breaking a Delirium mirror, there is now a progress bar showing how deep you are in the fog, and how long you have until the fog clears. The start of the Delirium bar represents your initial location at the Delirium mirror, the end of the Delirium bar represents the location of the map boss.
• There are now a set of new Delirium Encounters that can be seen on the Delirium bar. Reaching certain depths will cause coloured mirror shards to appear. Walking into the mirror shards will break them, activating the new encounters.
