Delirium 2023

[DeeniArgent]

I dont know if this has been discussed or not but I recently-ish have been playing Isaac again after getting Platinum God in Rebirth on PSVita. Yes, it's been that long. Delirium is straight garbage and Im so confused when almost every other boss is well designed and fun to fight. I just lost a run with Azazel, going into the fight with 11 hearts, after beating Hush. Fight lasts less than a minute. Delirium proceeds to teleport DIRECTLY ONTO ME back to back to back to back to back to back to back, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again!!!!!!! It was the cheapest, most anticlimatic, non fun boss fight I've ever experienced. It was absolutely stupid as hell and Im turned off the game now. Dont even want to play anymore. This boss is ♥♥♥♥ and I dont think I'll ever complete the game now because I refuse to have this experience while grinding The Lost completion marks. Sucks

well, the boss has such patterns. what to do

I can almost guarantee that this was not the case and your death was caused by you doing something extremely wrong. Delirium isn't the fairest boss, but even his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ has limits. Don't stop moving and you should be fine most of the time.

The funny thing is that your "almost guarantee" is absolutely wrong. LMAOOOOOOOO. Doing something "extremely wrong" would be throwing. I'm not new to Isaac. I'd beaten Delirium 2 or 3 times before making this post. I didn't stop moving. You just admitted that Delirium isn't the fairest boss. The only embellishment here is that the fight was less than a minute. I didn't time it but it certainly felt that short. He telefragged me from beginning to end while transforming into random ♥♥♥♥ throughout. There were no breaks. It was absolutely ridiculous.

Wow

I recently came back to this game after a several-years hiatus. I never got Platinum God or anything else back in the day, just beat Mega Satan a few times.

And now, I have beaten Delirium on Hard mode, 2/2 times I have encountered him so far. So I think this is a skill issue.

I never noticed any unfair damage, unclear what the problem is in your case. Why don't you try recording a video and uploading it to yt?

Basically Delirium was supposed to have a Rework of his fight, but Edmund Mc Millen announced that it wouldn't be for now, but maybe in a future update

You can see in my previous comments that I've already beaten Delirium multiple times, probably more times than you've encountered him if you've only seen him twice. People really have an issue with assuming that everyone is just worse at video games than they are. Just a cursory glance at the searches on google or youtube will tell you that MANY people feel the same way and criticize Delirium. Good for you that you havent experienced this.

We can keep our fingers crossed

Doubt he'll be ever reworked after all these years, he'll always suck and telefrag if he feels like it.

It does now appear as of a couple days ago, Isaac was pretty much declared to be content complete. The reasons given sounded a lot like burnout and an overall feeling of satisfaction with the state of the game as well as a strong need to take a long break.

There was an acknowledgement that some folks would be upset that the long rumored Void/Delirium stuff was not going to happen as well as a few other things, but it's been over 7 years of development or something and some other thangs. It was on their twitter or something, someone linked it earlier.

I would've liked to see what else they could come up with for the Void - there were some really cool ideas floating around for awhile - but I'm also pretty happy with the game.

Because everything delirium does, from what boss he turns into, to what attack he does, to even where he teleport in the arena is random, you can't get a sense of flow from it. Its not like other final bosses where you can clearly tell what attack there about to pull off next from the patterns and such. With delirium? Spray and pray. Even with a boss as insane as hush, mother, or the beast, you can at least can a hold of their attack patterns as said before. In short, delirium isn't fun because you can't win based on how skilled you are. You win based on if you get good rng or not, and a final boss should NEVER be based on good rng.
