(How to open portal to House of Hope)
Notes & Tips
- This place can only be accessed from a portal at Devil's Fee. You need to pay 20000 for the ritual material. (Succeed in persuasion to save the cost)
- There's an Inert Infernal Gem on a wall. Pass the DC10 Wisdom and DC20 Intelligence checks to reveal a hidden Door. Inside, you'll find the Helldusk Helmet (very rare), and Staff of Spellpower (very rare). You'll also spot Mol's Contract and Tav's Contract if you accept Raphael's offer.
- Upon reaching the western portion of the House of Hope, use the hatch to enter the dungeon. Hope will tell you about the Archivist. Pass the skill checks here to learn that the Archivist is afraid of Zariel's inquisitor, Verillius Receptor. This gives you a dialogue option to pretend as the inquisitor, which means the Archivist won't bother you.
- Talk to the Archivist to get an invitation to enter the Boudoir. You can now pass through the Mystic Force Curtain. The "Restoration Faucets" at the pool reinvigorate the team, granting the equivalent of a Long Rest.
- You can let Haarlep take your body as a disguise, or simply fight him to take the key. Open the safe behind a painting to the left of the bed with the key to find the words that you need to get Orphic Hammer.
- Once you get the Hammer, the devils in House of Hope turn hostile. (Be careful when enemies die, they burst into flame. You can use the pool in Boudoir to reinvigorate your team. ) Run to Hope's dungeon to free her with the hammer.
- When you reach the entrance chamber, make your team combat-ready to face Rapheal.
- You can pass a DC30 Persuasion check, to convince Yugir to betray Raphael and fights with you (Yugir is also a potential ally in Gather your Allies).
- Rapheal has 666 HP and is enhanced by the Soul Pillars. However, he has very low WIS so OTTO'S IRRESISTIBLE DANCE, Hold Monsters and Tasha's Hideous Laughter work great. Raphael turns into his devil form when he's 60% HP or lower, granting him more melee attacks.
- Defeat Rapheal rewards Gloves of Soul Catching and Helldusk Armour.
- Note: Helsik has a special aura called Infectious Greed (The affected entity's attacks deal an additional 6d6 Piercing damage in the presence of Helsik. Additionally, it has Advantage on Attack Rolls against targets marked by Promise of Wealth). If you befriend Helsik by giving her items/golds you can benefit from this, you can even knock her out and carry her for the aura.

Anyone know what the "Portal" crest does on the wall of the secret vault? Will need crates etc. to stack to reach it probs?

Something I didn't see mentioned anywhere, but you can take the gauntlet and amulet without triggering any alarm (but this doesn't work when you destroy the contract, idk for the hammer...)
The solution is to perform an Indiana Jones swap:
Look at the weight of the item, find an useless item of your inventory that got the same weight.
Enable the turn-by-turn mode.
Throw the new item on the pillar of the object.
Take the object
Then finish your turn :P

Inert Infernal Gem is on the north side of the hidden room, not south side. Its DC20 Intelligence check doesn't have failure penalty and you can use 1 char to try it until successful.
Haarlep's Incubus Charm is powerful and he can take invulnerable form after each hit. Incubus Charm can be broken by weapon damage to the charmed member. Friendly hit gave me bug: the ability drain stayed forever on my members.
For Raphael fight, music is legendary. The 4 soul pillars (99 HP I remember) are vulnerable to bludgeoning or force damage. If you want to control Raphael while hitting it, use Hold Monster and your hit will auto-crit.

the final fight alongside the legendary music was one of the greatest video game moments I have ever experienced. My ****ing god what a game!
A few things I haven't seen mentioned:
- You can get into the boudoir more or less immediately by going out a window and entering through the balcony.
- If you're a bard, you can get a surprise round in on the Succubus by pretending to go along with the "game" until you get a performance check. Select that and then select attack in the next series of options. Doing this let me get it down to under 10hp, at which point it went ethereal andI just had Shadowheart walk over and vacuum it up with her spirit guardians.

Hold Monster wins again. Balanced difficulty and Raphael spent the entire fight being held. Didn't even bother with the totems and "saved" Korilla.
Some things I learned that made this whole thing easier:
* You can steal the ingredients and notes needed to perform the ritual (DC is really low).
* Make sure to steal and use those Gauntlets of Hill Giant Strength (called Frost Giant Strength in the Wiki) and Amulet of Greater Life!
* DO try to free Hope as she has an ability to banish any "uninvited guest" forever. This includes the 6 Cambrions in the fight against Raphael!
* When you do steal the hammer, instead of running through the house, go into Raphael's room and go to the balcony to the right. There are several platforms you can jump down to get to a secret back entrance into Hope's area.
* The Spectators in the fight to free Hope cannot be pushed off the ledges to be insta killed.
* Exploit the fact that you have unlimited long rests at Raphael's room (click the faucets)
* In Raphael's boss fight, you can permanently keep him in check by causing him to go prone. A barbarian rage toss kept him on the floor while in full demon form and all he was able to do was get up on his turn.

I feel like Hope's (the NPC) writing is the result of feeding an AI with the entirety of Tumblr and asking it to come up with something.
thank you for not forcing me to rescue her, Larian.

Go to withers, get the rogue hireling and choose the thief subclass. Max dex ASI and get lucky as a feat, you'll have a god tier pickpocketer for 100 gold. Steal the grimiore and ritual pouch from helsik (they'll both only require a 4 maximum to pickpocket with the hireling) and you just saved yourself 19.9k, and you get to keep the hill giant gloves as well.

The ritual supplies can very easily be pickpocketed. save your gold.
You can use the bath water spouts to heal and get all spells back. you can then spam this to get OP , refreshing after each small fight and destroying the rolling balls, all full for the big fight with Raphael . I used it to get minor elementals, level 6 elemental, Level 6 mummy, squad of flying ghouls ( times 2 since my cleric has one level of mage for elemental scrolls) deva and hungry fest level 6 cleric for more hp. Put shield of thrall on everyone, then also had full spell slots for fight
