What in the living **** is Delirium

[how.to.save.a.life]

So I knew there was another boss but I never opened any of the discussions I saw on said boss nor watched any videos because I didn't want to have it spoiled. But boy oh boy do I wish I'd spoiled it for myself. What WAS that exactly. It seemed like a completely unfair retarded pseudo boss rush. Don't know how to feel about that nor how to defeat it.

Delerium is a big, white head with malformed flesh that extends over it's mouth, almost looking sewn a bit.
It morphs into other bosses, ranging from Monstro to Hush.
His place in the lore is Isaac either kills the fantasy that makes him stay in the chest, or fully embracing it and dying in it.


Or, in other words, "The big scary white teleporting thing that made you ♥♥♥♥ your pants when you fought it."

its isaac going full crazy from dehydration from being locked inside the chest. His memories getting all messed up and distorted before death.

That is exactly what I thought when I saw it. Boss Rush v2, really MEH...

[Orpy]

Delirium is a huge nightmarish white thing that will haunt your dreams forever.

[Girheim-The-Scaled]

Delerium is a bull boss with too much speed and the ability to teleport atop you. Kinda don't like it, but the design is cool.

It represents Isaac's insanity in his last moments if life. That boss is what it has to be and it's perfect.

Delirium is there to crash your game and make you do the void for 30 min

I think "perfect" is a little generous. How the boss acts fits in well with the representation of the story, but takes away from gameplay to an extent.

Well, I would not really call it insanity but like everything suggest: He's in delirium/a delirious state and about to die (ultimately does) because of the lack of oxygen (whoever built that chest, built it too well)

I figure that it's also a tribute to the Amalgamates from Undertale; a whole bunch of monsters smashed together, like Hush and Mega Satan had a whole swarm of melted-wax babies.

Nice necro

Delirium is supposed to represent Isaac's life flashing before his eyes as he suffocates himself to death in the chest which is why he only transforms into bosses encountered during that run.
