Simulacrum

What a fog bank becomes once it reaches full Deliriousness: a fixed run of waves in a closed arena, each one harder than the last, with a choice of how it gets harder made between them.

Waves7

To enter A fog bank at 100% Deliriousness turns one of its maps into a Simulacrum

Seven is the game data's own figure. Guides carrying a fifteenth or twentieth wave are describing Path of Exile 1's Simulacrum, which was a longer encounter.

Getting one

Each line below is the item's own instruction text.

Simulacrum SplinterCombine 300 Splinters to create a Simulacrum.

SimulacrumRight click this item then left click an Endgame World Area affected by at least 100% Delirousness to apply it.

Inside, each wave is started by interacting with a Trail of Suffering. A Simulacrum you leave unfinished becomes a Fading Simulacrum.

Between waves

A shard appears between waves offering one of three escalations. Each applies to all remaining waves, so an early pick compounds.

Escalating ThreatsAdds an Area Modifier

Adds an additional Modifier to the area. These modifiers generally add danger and reward. These modifiers will apply for all remaining waves in the Simulacrum.

Apex PredatorsSpawn an additional Boss

Adds an additional Boss to the encounter. Additional bosses will be summoned into all remaining waves in the Simulacrum.

Pure EmotionsSpawns additional Monsters

Adds additional monster packs to the encounter. Additional monster packs will be added to all remaining waves in the Simulacrum.

Escalating Threats

The pool an Escalating Threats shard draws its modifier from. Most pair a danger with the reward that justifies it.
