everything about this fight was so hype, i was looking forward to fighting him since alpha and they really did deliver with the music and everything. the "down comes the claw" line is just amazing.
This quest was so fun. I played it like a stealth mission until the very last showdown. Had to fight to get out. Will definitely remember this one for a while. Larian raised the bar in quests for me. And this wasn’t even a mandatory quest.

Let's see: Haste and Guiding Bolt from Gontr Mael bow; Brand the Weak from Amulet of Branding; Executioner from Killer's Sweetheart (ring); 2 Acid damage from Caustic Band (ring); Reeling effect from Adamantine armor or shield; At least 11 levels in Fighter to get Improved Extra Attack; Subclass is Champion; Feats are Alert, Sharpshooter, Lucky; Elixir of Bloodlust for an extra action.

The song is a banger, the player is a true powerhouse, the fight is fun. I talked into/made all his allys my pets, then paralyzed Raphael and kicked his ass altogether while he could not do anything.
That's the point though XD. Because he's so in love with himself that he even wants to hear himself sing as well as talk. Fits his character perfectly! Just killed him last night and loved every second. Very satisfying to end him.

@@sweggieboi4928 how does it add to the ambience of the fight? Is a fucking serious fight with a fucking serious devil and he starts to sing out of nowhere, like he is in a Disney movie or something. Cringe.
i had to use 2 divine interventions in this fight one from shadowheart and one from hope, and i still only barely made it through with a single spellslot left on shadowheart. Seeing you solo this fight made me love this game even more
In act 3 you can just paralyze/hold every single boss to victory.. Automatic crit and they can't do shit. Trivializes everything. Raphael doesn't even has Legendary action/resistence, which makes it even easier. People see his HP and panic but in fact, he is very weak. This game is a breeze tbh.
@@abnnizzy *cheeses game* "man this game is so easy why isn't it hard?" Maybe, now hear me out, it would be hard if you chose to not cheese every encounter nor to minmax every aspect of the game. This is the exact reason I don't use paralyze or hold at all, I want the game to be challenging but I guess if you want the game to be easy then compain that it is easy go for it... weird but sure
@@TrueXhomerS the game literally isnt hard if you have any mechanical knowledge of DOS2 since this game plays exactly the same, its barely dnd outside of the dice rolls with all the homebrew shit they threw in
@@TrueXhomerSby the same logic, the game was only hard for you because you went out of your way to ignore mechanics that would make it too easy. Hold spells and stun effects are in the game to be used and opting out of them is akin to a challenge run. If you use every tool in your bag of tricks the game is easy even on tactician. If you intentionally abstain from them then the game is harder, what a concept.
Vendors restock when a character levels up. This means every time your party levels you can go buy out their arrows 4x, once after each character levels.
50 damage with your rouge is more then enough to trivialize most fights in normal difficulty. stuff like the one in the video is good for challenges, but not for a normal gameplay
@@thewatcher2020the secret to good D&d is that you can have players with OP abilities and items still challenged by intelligent enemies. Game AI can't measure by comparison
I am new to dnd and finished the game just last week. Seeing other players be so creatively strong makes me love this game even more. I hope you post more like this and others too! Amazing fight - in tactician no less!
I got to this fight, i was lvl 12 and i had to struggle with 4 more npcs, i respect people like you who can actualy play the game like this for i am to dumb to make a build that strong xD
lmao didn't use any scrolls with this fight just a level 10 cleric a 5 ranger/6 rogue and a bunch of dps really an easy ass fight if you kill mobs first than the boss ngl took me like 20min
I was surprised on how easy it was too- I fought him at lv11 and people were saying how hard it was to beat him. I only restarted the whole fight since towards the end he 1 shot Hope, and I needed the gloves of soul catching for my monk. Poisons are OP in this game as well as arrows.
@@austinburtt9640 I only had to use one scroll of magic missile at the very end, I was out of spells that were guaranteed to hit and he was so close to killing me and same for him. Saved my first try to beating him even tho I know how to do it now
@@randy3724 you do know hope has divine intervention right? hell all level 10 clerics do all you need is to bring a hireling grab all your main cleric shit over to the hireling and just use their divine intervention cause can only use it once per game ez af and one of the boosts is a heal to full/long rest regain all spell slots
I like how "Notable Features" is a longer read than some books you find in the game :D Holy shit man, this video entirely warped my perspective of the game. I thought it was about finding the right multiclass mix, but seeing this and your solo Pala/Bard, it seems the power comes from what you build around your character much more than the class itself.
The hardest part of this fight for me was keeping Hope alive. Literally, not figuratively. I didn't think of making her invisible, so I ended up casting Resilient Sphere and Sanctuary on her before starting the fight.
For this fight I just blew everything up with runepowder barrels. You can pickpocket one from the deepgnome that threatens to blow herself up in act 1 and you can steal another two from the deep gnome hideout in act 3. Then they give you the runepowder bomb.
You can also stockpile on runepowder bombs as early as act 1. Go to the goblin camp, kill the zhentarim scumbags, get yourself around 4 barrels of explosives
@@digitaldevil696 Oil barrels work too but they weigh a lot more (40lbs) as well as smokepowder barrels (24lbs), grenades (2lbs) and satchels (1lb). Firewine isn't really worth collecting though because it's much less damage and still weighs 40lbs a barrel. You can store explosives in the Traveler's Chest and toggle in and out of camp to transport more than you can carry. Lead off with a Flame Arrow attack and watch the fireworks. Also if you want to go to a lot of effort there are a dozen Smokepowder Barrels in the Zhent hideout under Wakeem's Rest that you can collect using a distraction like playing music while stealing.
orin is legit the easiest fight lmao, all you need to do is make astarian into a 5 ranger 7 rogue lmao two hand crossbows fight ended before it began not really that impressive
@@austinburtt9640I did Orin as a 1 on one duel how you getting Astarion in there . Nonetheless still easy I just became a displacer beast and won in three turns
I fought Raphael the conventional way, but I did use Tasha's Hideous Laughter to make Raphael useless. Quite fun to see the Devil laugh at pathetic challengers, only to be suddenly punched to death in a turn.
Dude, lvl 12 fighter dualwield orins hammer plus a longsword, not the strongest build, i dont know about elixirs, they seem like give a ton, took me a couple of times (less than 2 hours to down him)
Nice one! I did boom with a gnomes big runes bomb from steel guards quest to destroy all pillars in one turn.. that was fun also! All my party members and Hope almost died but we are fighting with devil its okay to sacrafise a little
Seeing people play so much better than me on tactician while i stick to balance and have a struggle with even my party that i try so hard to make good is very concerning like maybe i really am not that smart to play this game if im struggling with regular bosses like that robot in the lava room but eh amazing video i wished that baldurs gate added hidden dialogue if you kill a hard person in few turns like praise you for slaying Raphael as in other comments mentioned each turn is 6 seconds im pretty sure Raphael dying in 12 seconds would be insane to watch happen
I used lucky feat there. It allows you to reroll 3 attacks per long rest. Or mby you ment attack on paralysed guy. Then its always auto crit even if you rolled 1.
I turtled inside invulnerability sphere with mind sanctuary. Oh, and i also cheesed 100 sorcery points and 20 lvl 5 spell slots using the fountain and buffed everyone with every available buff
when I turned on this video, I expected that the player would use some difficult tactics, but in fact it turned out that he just made himself a powerful build
Don't forget Crawler Mucus. If it succeeds, the fight is a cake walk with auto-crits that spreads with multi-arrow. If it doesn't, which it happens most of the time, it's a little more challenging.
Hope is BY FAR my favorite character in this game. I'm so sad she only got to be in this one part of it. She has like 90% of my favorite lines in the whole thing.
I used Joy as a nuke and had her divine inspiration use the mass Radiance AOE. She immediately died but removed all of their radiance reflects, and brought all the adds to 50% hp. She had one final laugh.
I walked into this fight spent. All spell slots almost used up. Lvl 10. I was not prepared for the gauntlet leading up to the fight. And my party was F’ed up. Probably the hardest fight I had in the game.
Crazy how build and positioning can make this game a 100 times easier lol. My first playthrough (stopped at the start of act 3) at balance difficulty, I had issue on so many fights lol. Some fight took me hours and I raged so much. I made a second playthrough same difficulty, but went paladin and looked at a build for 1 of my character and Jesus its a piece of cake lol. I've had issue on one fight in act 3(not done yet with the game) and its not even comparable how my character is strong. I even started a dark urge tactician playthrough and I haven't had any issue so far(only level 4 though).
if your having difficulty in fights, try swapping out your companions. if your in a conversation and a fight is inevitable, click the change character icon on the bottom left of your screen (its the middle icon) so that you can position your 3 other companions before the fight. always examine your enemies by right clicking them to see if they have resistance or not and what's the lowest stat they have for a save throw. explore and use any means necessary to win a fight, use explosion barrels if you have to. my designated fighter is always carrying 1 or 2 explosive barrel just incase some shit pops up. never underestimate utility spell like sleep or blindness, they can turn any fight into a child play.
Did this fight yesterday, I had gotten the Thayan ghouls to paralyze him, knocked him prone with repelling eldritch blast, and I whaled on him jojo beatdown style
Most attacks are done with an attack roll, this is calculated against the enemies Armor Class, when you attack you will automatically roll a 1d20, the result must be equal or higher than the enemy armor class otherwise it will miss. If you keep missing attacks, that means a lot of things, first you need to ensure you have a decent amout ot attack bonus which is made up of things like your weapon proficiency, the type of weapon you have agasint your abilities (dex for finesse weapons, strength for everything else), you also need to do your best to not forget to include buffs in your stategies, Bless skill is a very good way to start, it gives you a bonus to attack rolls and saving throws, you can also debuff your enemies, things like blindness or faerie fire will help you hit more often.
At 11th level, a fighter can make three attacks per action point. One base point. One point from Haste. One point from Action Surge. And one point from Elixir of Bloodlust. There are 12 attacks in total.
@@MeguJenZi he could probably get 15 if he used the mindflayer power to make bonus actions be equal to regular actions. There is a helm that gives you a bonus action at low life too, so potentially 18 attacks.
Okay I feel a bit dumb, I get you can have an extra attack from haste for example and when you're a barbarian class, but she is just spamming the hell with attacks. Can anyone elaborate on how to do that?
Its extra attack feature. You get 1 additional attack per action (green dot). Fighter, barb, monk, ranger, paladin, warlock (blade pact) get it at lvl 5 and at lvl 6 swords and valor Bard. Fighter have extra attack x2 at 11.
i still had a runepowder bomb left over after destroying the steel watch foundry so i used that and hopes divine intervention to give a long rest to my party cos they were out of spells
I love this game because you can do so many different things. I AOEd them all down with a cleric barrels and a warlock, and then went on rapheal. it was an epic battle taking like 20 turns at least. Then you fucked them all up solo in 2 turns.
Everyone having their own ways of doing these fights amazes me. My preferred method is me and astarion (both as monk/rogue hybrids) and folding Raphaels clothes with him still in them 😂
really insane. i have rogue x socerer with 3 attacks (fireball, icestrom or lightning) but the devils have so much resistence. so i blow them up with gunpowder.
apparently it's possible to not get the Gontr Mael, at all, if you do things in a weird order in BG. Somehow the factory just self destructs if you don't go there before killing Gortash. Of coarse, almost mass murdering everyone has this small side effect of nobody trusting the pc... so it's attack on sight. lol
I took him out in less than 10 turns or so, I just had Gale use Dome of Invincibility and just had Shadowheart, Gale, and Astarion hide in there while range attacking everything while I go out and whack the pillars, then once those and the minions are dead I just held Raphael and had everyone body him
raphael: "You came into my home uninvited, and you stole from me!" this guy: "don't care, didn't ask, cry about it, stay mad, get real, L, mald, seethe, cope."
wish i had anywhere near this level of a plan. unfortunately for Raphael he did get caught in a hold monster for 5 straight turns while everyone circle beat him to death so. any solution so long as it works
And here i am just shooting him with regular arrows....and realizing to turn on and off sharpshooter....do you pick up arrows from a specific vendor or just randomly obtain the ones you see them have. I literally took the longest approach ever....i stunned locked him with my fighter/ monk la zael....destroyed all his soul towers, and the only healer i had was hope.

She immediately died but removed all of their radiance reflects, and brought all the adds to 50% hp.
She had one final laugh.
I wonder if you can give her the Death Ward buff or Survival Instinct , have her half nuke them, and use another cleric to finish them off.
Omg I didn’t look at all her spells, didn’t realize she had that. I used her perma banish spell though, was fun saying bye to two enemies.
High level fighters are brutally powerful and I love it.
I like to imagine that Raphael is inwardly screaming once he's halfway through that first round
Shortly after that first six second barrage, Raphael had exactly one thought.
He may have fucked up.
I walked into this fight spent. All spell slots almost used up. Lvl 10. I was not prepared for the gauntlet leading up to the fight. And my party was F’ed up. Probably the hardest fight I had in the game.
This was so fun. I can’t believe how amazing this game is even after a hundred hours in.
do you know you can regen in the room with the water ?
Love the music during combat!
I always find it funny how Yurgir walks in as if Tav didn’t just kick his @ss that very day
The music is masterful.
Dude literally has his own Disney Villan theme song
having the blood of lythander and spirit guardians made this fight quite easy as well. i love the armor you get
only if you don´t play tactician :D
Spirit Guardians with Necrotic damage instead of Radiant works as normal
love you man! one thing i need to ask, how do you get no disadvantage being close range with bow?
I do get disadvantage, but I paralized Raphael so every attack in 3m range is auto crit.
The music is a thing to behold
Casters that think they're better than martial never fought a truly awesome one.
I thought Sin-Tee was the only one pulling content like this :O
Nice massacre, gratz! Can't wait to get roflstomped by him in my current tactician playthrough :P
How very Disney Villain of him to sing during his own fight.
fitting his health starts at 666 the number of the beast
Crazy how build and positioning can make this game a 100 times easier lol.
My first playthrough (stopped at the start of act 3) at balance difficulty, I had issue on so many fights lol. Some fight took me hours and I raged so much. I made a second playthrough same difficulty, but went paladin and looked at a build for 1 of my character and Jesus its a piece of cake lol. I've had issue on one fight in act 3(not done yet with the game) and its not even comparable how my character is strong.
I even started a dark urge tactician playthrough and I haven't had any issue so far(only level 4 though).
if your having difficulty in fights, try swapping out your companions. if your in a conversation and a fight is inevitable, click the change character icon on the bottom left of your screen (its the middle icon) so that you can position your 3 other companions before the fight. always examine your enemies by right clicking them to see if they have resistance or not and what's the lowest stat they have for a save throw. explore and use any means necessary to win a fight, use explosion barrels if you have to. my designated fighter is always carrying 1 or 2 explosive barrel just incase some shit pops up. never underestimate utility spell like sleep or blindness, they can turn any fight into a child play.
@@justsayin2085 oh yeah, since I've new how to position and adapting myself, everything is a 100 times easier.
@@justsayin2085 there are some fights however that swapping characters during a dialogue scene where a fight is inevitable doesn't work.
Did this fight yesterday, I had gotten the Thayan ghouls to paralyze him, knocked him prone with repelling eldritch blast, and I whaled on him jojo beatdown style
It knocks back not prone
The bonus of listening to Raphael's disney villian song while watching you own him
Please can you explain the machanics of the extra actions and how to miss so many attacks? thank you
Most attacks are done with an attack roll, this is calculated against the enemies Armor Class, when you attack you will automatically roll a 1d20, the result must be equal or higher than the enemy armor class otherwise it will miss.
If you keep missing attacks, that means a lot of things, first you need to ensure you have a decent amout ot attack bonus which is made up of things like your weapon proficiency, the type of weapon you have agasint your abilities (dex for finesse weapons, strength for everything else), you also need to do your best to not forget to include buffs in your stategies, Bless skill is a very good way to start, it gives you a bonus to attack rolls and saving throws, you can also debuff your enemies, things like blindness or faerie fire will help you hit more often.
At 11th level, a fighter can make three attacks per action point. One base point. One point from Haste. One point from Action Surge. And one point from Elixir of Bloodlust. There are 12 attacks in total.
@@MeguJenZi he could probably get 15 if he used the mindflayer power to make bonus actions be equal to regular actions. There is a helm that gives you a bonus action at low life too, so potentially 18 attacks.
@@johnjohnson-ss4vu in the new video, he has 19 attacks XD
You know you're fucked when you're paralysed against high level fighter with action surge, that amount of attacks is ridiculous 😂
Okay I feel a bit dumb, I get you can have an extra attack from haste for example and when you're a barbarian class, but she is just spamming the hell with attacks. Can anyone elaborate on how to do that?
Its extra attack feature. You get 1 additional attack per action (green dot). Fighter, barb, monk, ranger, paladin, warlock (blade pact) get it at lvl 5 and at lvl 6 swords and valor Bard. Fighter have extra attack x2 at 11.
Lore accurate Tav:
Seriously, what the actual hellish fuck?
i still had a runepowder bomb left over after destroying the steel watch foundry so i used that and hopes divine intervention to give a long rest to my party cos they were out of spells
I clicked this video just to hear the song again
I love this game because you can do so many different things. I AOEd them all down with a cleric barrels and a warlock, and then went on rapheal. it was an epic battle taking like 20 turns at least. Then you fucked them all up solo in 2 turns.
Everyone having their own ways of doing these fights amazes me. My preferred method is me and astarion (both as monk/rogue hybrids) and folding Raphaels clothes with him still in them 😂
👏👏👏 GG dude, GG!
Raphael must be so embarrassed to lose like this while your own hype song is playing the background
Would love a build/gear video.
espero ese video tambien
Can you please do a build video for this? I really want to try it
really insane. i have rogue x socerer with 3 attacks (fireball, icestrom or lightning) but the devils have so much resistence. so i blow them up with gunpowder.
me, as a demon, watching this freaking guy attacking 800 times: 🙂
apparently it's possible to not get the Gontr Mael, at all, if you do things in a weird order in BG. Somehow the factory just self destructs if you don't go there before killing Gortash. Of coarse, almost mass murdering everyone has this small side effect of nobody trusting the pc... so it's attack on sight. lol
Wow bro that was amazing. You using a Dex based fighter?
yep 20 dex and sharpshooter
We found Ip Man in Baldur's Gate 3
Legend ❤😮
GTFO!!!! Raphael wiped my Party 4 times. Mad respect Sir
I swear smokepowder arrows are the ave in the hole because you can shoot like 10 of them in 1 turn it’s crazy
how do you have so many attacks per turn? O_O
saw a vid today with a similiar setup killing the whole squad turn one with 19 attacks. that game is crazy.
I just thread a rucksack with tons of explosives at him as well as a void bulb to pull every enemy in and Y'all-Quaeded him.
Raphael should’ve known better than to try and make a deal with a devil
Wait, I always persuade the demon boy to help me kill Raphael. He drops a 2nd purple hand crossbow? I’ve been playin myself
He didn't have one when I killed him in this fight. He just charge at me. Went invisible and then died. No crossbow. Might have been bugged.
As a 5e vet hearing about coloured rarity is actual painful.
I took him out in less than 10 turns or so, I just had Gale use Dome of Invincibility and just had Shadowheart, Gale, and Astarion hide in there while range attacking everything while I go out and whack the pillars, then once those and the minions are dead I just held Raphael and had everyone body him
Yeah that's the way to do it. Kill the minions first, meanwhile getting the pillars. Then go after Raphael afterwards.
raphael: "You came into my home uninvited, and you stole from me!"
this guy: "don't care, didn't ask, cry about it, stay mad, get real, L, mald, seethe, cope."
Fuckin amazin, gj there man
Hell, hell (ow) hell has its laws (ow)
wish i had anywhere near this level of a plan. unfortunately for Raphael he did get caught in a hold monster for 5 straight turns while everyone circle beat him to death so. any solution so long as it works
I did same. I’m surprised he didn’t have a lot more wisdom saving throw for a devil. But took the opportunity nonetheless.
And here i am just shooting him with regular arrows....and realizing to turn on and off sharpshooter....do you pick up arrows from a specific vendor or just randomly obtain the ones you see them have.
I literally took the longest approach ever....i stunned locked him with my fighter/ monk la zael....destroyed all his soul towers, and the only healer i had was hope.
I tried to push "space" two times. Didn´t affect the experience at all...
I don't understand how you can play with the log fully expanded on the right. Takes up so much screen space
Great video sometimes i wonder if we play the same game 🤣
hold monster was basically cheesing this fight
Raphael rap performance 10/10
i couldn't save hope, but im glad the reward is not worth the reload
