what delirium give to waystones in poe2

Delirium on Waystones in Path of Exile 2 generally makes the area harder and more rewarding, with reported benefits like more monster pack size and tougher enemies, but it also adds danger.

What it gives

  • More monsters in the area.
  • Better rewards from the Delirium encounter.
  • Increased difficulty, including stronger enemy defenses such as elemental resistances.
