Delirium spawning stuff on top of me...

[BirdFeeder]

This boss requires the most stupid of luck. I feel like theres 0 skill involved in beating the damn boss. I dodged literally every single one of his projectiles, and still died despite entering the room with full hp 2 rows, because thats how many times he hit me with stuff he spawned on top of me so i couldn't dodge them....

Yeah, it's a badly designed boss.

I really like the idea of the boss but some of the stuff needs to be fixed. Some of the transformations are just really poorly done. For example, it lives spawns eyes outside the screen completely outside your knowledge and then u get hit by lazer from nowhere. The worms also spawned on top of me. Even poop transformation is ridiculous as when it charges it prcatically teleports across the room...

I'm so triggered right now, he had like 5 seconds worth of HP left when i died as well..

Delirium is in fact completely busted and what disappoints me most about repentance. Ed said that fixing it is on his to do list after repentance came out, and I'm sure they would've fixed it if they didn't have to set a release date at some point, but it really is a shame they didn't get around to fixing this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ earlier. Come on, edmund, he's had very obviously and literally undodgeable attacks for years now. literally hush with more health would've been better than them.

Hush is childs play in comparison. Sure he requires a specific setup and slow attack speed is basically instant loss but damn, this guy, i had the remote thing that causes azazels shot to become a permanent controlable circle which is busted OP, i cleared almost entire game taking very very little damage, taking 0 damage on most bosses, and thats what allowed me to...ALMOST...beat delirium. My circle was randomly hitting him where he spawned after transformation, but if i had normal shots or brimstone the boss wouldve been impossible.

How difficult Delirium is seems to be entirely based on what bosses you have fought in the run. Some forms of Delirium are easy to manage, while others are a total pain in the ass (any boss with a slam or brimstone attack).

Delirium is the worst boss in the game due to being a giant buggy mess. I honestly think that it needs a complete redesign. An idea I had was that, instead of transforming into the bosses you fought in the run, it instead cycles between attacks themed around the bosses you fought. It would take a whole lot of work to create like 100+ unique attacks for a single fight, though.

I mean, they could just use the allready existing transformations and chose between the ones you fought. Considering how many bosses u fight on the way, especially in the void, it should still have a large pool of transformation choices, no new attacks needed.

For what it's worth your case seems abnormal, usually 7 or so hearts is good enough. as long as you at least keep running so the foot *usually* doesn't BS you that is. High damage helps a lot. You'll get em next time. no skill though, yeah. Skill can *help* but it's not the deciding factor. Amazed by my ability to write short sentences which end with a period. Also amazed with how long they've been busted for. They put so much effort into all the sprites for delirium, which is cool, but how did they work that hard and make them so bad? ...actually, delirium could've just been the boss rush but you take full hearts. that would've been fine.

I'm very happy I beat delirium on hard mode as the lost back before they nerfed him, would have been miserable.

Of course, doing it as ""The lost"". is still going to be a pain in the ass.

[Confused Rock]

the good news is there's a couple items that revive you in the current room now that don't turn you into lazarus. one of them's a pickup like a card! so you could at least plan C em... and in their current state, that's probably the only good way of doing it for 'em.

I can't comment on this one too much, every time I killed delirium I had a pretty strong build and only a handful of times did I complete the fight without taking more than a hit or two. I beat him with the Lost twice though. I believe I had two algiz the first time I beat him and the second time with the Lost I genuinely couldn't tell you how I didn't get smacked twice. I got hit ONCE and from that point on I was just dodging and praying but I got through it. It's definitely chaotic enough to negate a lot of skill.

i got my kill on delirium as the lost post repentance, with ludovico knife, absolutely ♥♥♥♥ small hitbox, small knife, spectral so transparent, and lump of coal so dark. keeping track of the knife and directing it to delirium was an absolute pain, and it took me several dead cat lives and even a guppy's collar proc after dead cat ran out. can't wait to do it on the other lost
