Aran Oblodra sells potentially infinite blood grenades, which works very well for strats like that. Just keep donating her blood, byying two more bombs, and resting without choosing supplies - over and over again, until your Allahu Akbar backpack is ready xD
I DID NOT easily defeat him, took me like 7 tries if not more. Never dumping dex on any character again, not having initiative kills even the strongest characters :C
Runepowder barrels are great in a good few late game fights - Gortash(to destroy all his traps), Orin(to kill all dudes in the sanctuary that are buffing her), Raphael(again, to destroy pillars). There is one in Grymmforge, stolen by a gnome girl, and two more in gnome hideout in act 3. There is also runepowder bomb given by Wulbren to destroy Steelwatch foundry, but you don't have to use it since you can destroy it in different way, and outside of the use in that quest, it is functionally the same as runepowder barrel
Friendly reminder that 1 round equates to roughly 6 seconds in real life, meaning that this guy basically fly to Raphael, drink Pot of Oil and dunk him 6 times all within 6 seconds before Raphael can even react
Raphael, still confident after the runepowder nuke: "♪ No more deals, it's over! ♪" Paladin: "I was thinking the same thing, buddy. SMITE! *...SMITESMITESMITE!!!* " And the song lyrics literally end on his death. *PERFECT* XD

He'll just get sent back, but probably forced to respawn as something lesser. (Honestly he's an incredibly low CR for a Unique Devil, usually they have to be above pitfiends. Who are endgame monsters.
That opening move my Yurgir was the most sensible I have seen him do in my close to 600 hours of playing BG3. Usually he would just attack something then go invisible. But here he actually did something useful.
Ahhhh, so that's how to use the dome of invulnerability! Time to use up my stack of hundred flammable, highly explosive barrels in the bag of holding then...
Use a scroll of invulnerable dome on the group. Then use the illithid ability that pulls enemies into group. After that have hope use her favor of God and select the damage option. That kills most of the mobs and leaves Ralph for your team to beat.
@@cooller8888 you can buy yourself one of the henchmen, make them lvl 12 cleric, cast divine favor, grab the weapon, dismiss. in fact you can do that with every party member to start dual-wielding the thing on everyone :)
There's actually a better mace called the Deva mace which does 4d8 radiant damage. If you steal the items from that house of the gods (can't remember the name specifically) but its down in the basement, you get cursed. Remove the curses and you fight deva's. Do a long rest and go back to where you killed them and you can pick up their mace.
Yes and no. Depending on your difficulty. Long time ago, command was the bane of his existence. The legendary resistance and abilities prevent hold now unfortunately
@@dantheanimator5072yup, another commentor mentioned that if you hit raphael with a silence spell, andrew wincott’s verse goes quiet - so apparently raphael is singing as you fight
I had 3 Barbarians, and I fought this a bit early. Honestly it was easier than Gortash, mostly because Barbarians don't really have much holding them back in this fight.
Gortash is easy as fuck with how much throwable (something Barbs are good at) grenades his room shits out. The only thing holding me back was his shield, but I brute forced his ass anyway.
I didn’t even get a chance to save the sister. Yurgir was before my party in the initiative order and he killed her in one hit. Still, it’s crazy how OP paladins are.
I couldn't save Hope in this battle. Yurgir hit someone and took 20hp from her as collateral, then Raphael nuked someone else (a summon) with his pillar-of-souls-buffed-AoE and took the other 70hp from her.. as a collateral. And I reloaded 3 times. It was specially funny because the rest of my team just waddled through the fight. "Hope is a feeble thing", I thought to myself
you gotta place one party memeber near Korrilla before fight starts and that will change his AI Yugir has insanely high initiative so RNG is not in your favor
Also if you don't mind not getting any Yugir lines, If your Hope survives she can actually banish people without them being able to take saving throws. First time I won against Raph without min maxing I would always pop Yurgir and one Cambodian out of existence and they don't come back btw.
I did something similar to this in my fight, I ended upsomehow still having the runebomb after getting rid of the steel watch in Baldurs Gate. Ended up dropping the magic shield like yourself and just tossed it into the center of the room. It dropped 3 of the soul pillars all at once. Hasted Karlach and my main character and just wrecked him with 2 paladin/fighter combos of 4 smites each. It was glorious.
I knew I was severely underleveled for this whole quest, but did it anyway because my default method to dealing with tough bosses is with BARRELS BARRELS & MORE BARRELS. So I just blew everyone up, miraculously Hope survived but I couldn't convince Yurgir to join me, plus I kept missing Rapael almost every turn :( I managed to kill the devil and his minions, but it was not as effective as your methods, great job!
With all the buffs I had on my guys when I went into this fight, it felt almost a bit too ... easy? I mean.. I did manage to persuade Yurgir by sheer luck (DC 30 is pretty tough, even for my 24 charisma Tav), so that helped. Still... I committed the ultimate n00b-error and cast Hold Monster with the same dude who had cast Globe of Invulnerability the round before - forgetting about concentration and all that. So I had to make do without invulnerability for the rest of the fight. However: Once I had Raph locked down like that it was "just" a matter of unleashing berzerker Karlach on him and have my sorcerer Tav go nuts on him as well. Didn't manage or try to save Korilla (didn't even know that was a thing, but with this game, I'm not surprised you can do it). But ... she had made her bed and clearly stated so before the fight, so I don't think I would've tried even if I had known. All in all, the way from the Archive to the Foyer, trying to avoid/destroy those pesky hellfire-boulders almost felt more challenging than the actual fight did. Perhaps I should've done it earlier and not on level 12.
I used Hope to get cleric's legendary weapon cuz you can call her god to give her weapon once in a lifetime. Use this and drop the weapon later :D it's really good, provide you with aura buff that heals every turn

To understand how broken Pal5/War5/Fig2 is, remember that you can cast Disintegrate a total of 7 times in a turn (4 against the same target) just by removing your clothes.... and that still does less total damage than smite on a 5/5/2 build. Balanced game is balanced.

“And now, down here come… the… claws?” (It was at this moment that Raphael realized pissing off a roided out Orc Paladin who had previously killed the Avatar of an actual god might have been a lapse in judgement)
I know this vid has been out for awhile but I got to share this, if you pickpocket raphael and give him around 66k coins or above and use twist of fortune move, its a one shot KO and created several explosions that lagged my game. this video brought the same laughter
When I fought Raphael literally everyone except my party died. Korilla was murdered by the big man when I recruited him and in Rachael's death blossom he fucking murdered the big man and hope. I was just surrounded by corpses and it was such a narratively twisted moment for the House of Hope that I didnt even bother reloading to save her. It was just a bitter fight.
I feel like I DEFINITELY knocked out her sister during my fight, hoping that they could reconcile and all that fun stuff, but it still said that she died for me. I thought, "Oh well, guess she just dies," but you say she can be saved?? I already beat the game. It's far away at this point. ^^;
I used runepowder barrel too, but sadly I wasn't able to save Korilla nor Hope... they both perished... I was too lazy to reload and fight again, so... RIP dwarf sisters 💔
Mine was somewhat similar. Main difference was that I threw a Hold Monster on Raphael to sweeten the pot. Yeah, he shakes it off on his turn, but my paladin went before him and...well, smite crit + smite crit + smite crit (thank you haste spell!) = Mephistopheles has one less birthday to keep track of.
Man, imagine this, but with a dual wielding Paladin. Level 11, with 3 attacks minimum from dual wielding. You'll be smiting everything like a divine blender of death.
5 pact of the blade 5 paladin 2 fighter let's you easily attack 3 times per action + adrenalina rush, same building he's usino in here actually, with a potion of haste for the extra lulz
If you sleep with Haarlep and ask him if Raphael is actually good in bed, he answers "haha, no", and when Raphael says "it will only take a moment to end you", you can say "it's already dragging on for twice as long as it takes you to finish" and he gets ultra mad xD It gives you no combat benefits, but breaking his smug demeanor before blasting him to ashes is priceless

Man, imagine this, but with a dual wielding Paladin. Level 11, with 3 attacks minimum from dual wielding. You'll be smiting everything like a divine blender of death.
5 pact of the blade 5 paladin 2 fighter let's you easily attack 3 times per action + adrenalina rush, same building he's usino in here actually, with a potion of haste for the extra lulz
If you sleep with Haarlep and ask him if Raphael is actually good in bed, he answers "haha, no", and when Raphael says "it will only take a moment to end you", you can say "it's already dragging on for twice as long as it takes you to finish" and he gets ultra mad xD
It gives you no combat benefits, but breaking his smug demeanor before blasting him to ashes is priceless
Wish the song played on loop during the battle ngl
Wow. Not only did you persuade Yurgir to join to your side, he also got the highest initiative roll. 😆
Raphael: It will only take a moment to kill you.
If anyone goes all in on the sex scene with the incubus in the healing room, you’ll get a hilarious bit here where you insult Raphael’s sex talent
Least OP fighter build
This song is such a banger
I couldn't save Korilla in my most recent playthrough because Yurgir fucking stomped her into the floor before anyone could act.
Destroy 4 pillars. Use magic bow ( got it from Gortash’s steel watcher at Steel Watcher Foundry )make Raphael stun for a moment.
Never mess with a paladin! :D
Nice of you to let him finish his sing first.
Toughest fight of the game imo
King shit pulled off here
Raphael:"No more deals, it's over! The final ac..."
Tav : [chucks mysterious object into the center of the room]
Raphael: "What is... what is that supposed to be?"
Rune Bomb: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"
Raphael: [cough] Apologies, it seems I misspoke. Perhaps we could negotiate some sort of agreement?
Whatabout that freaking song?! No comments about it? 11/10
Wait, wait wait... you can get Yurgir as an ally for the end-battle? :O Woooooot! So doing this on my next playthrough!
i never knew you could save korilla
Wouldn't it be nice to make this home base upon going with karlach and wyll?
Ohhh... That paladin pwoer is so strong. I first thought you gonna do 1 hit and do the entire health pool of dmg and just 1 shot raphael
my first boss foght i used divine itervantion to nuke the entire room...Hope sadly died but in a future i hope that i'll save her and her sister
I must be doing something wrong bc my guys do not have near the HP this squad does
I do consider myself a power player, which means I just take some simple concepts and resources and try to make my best with it. When anybody asks me whats the difference then to a min-maxxer, I'll just show them this video
If they gave us a level limit of 20 then they could’ve had Zariel show up and we fight her after lol
remember 1 turn is really 6 seconds so Raphael was outright butchered.
The nuke was to destroy the soul pillars
this song... omg im on love
I had no idea you could save her sister
Turning Raphael big homie against was a W lol
This fight was so easy for me, i thought i would suffer but my monk stun locked raphael and slapped the shit out of him
