Transcripts

greetings Travelers this video contains

spoilers for act 3. I will show you how

to maximize the loot in House of Hope

and how to deal with Raphael in act 3.

first you'll need to continue the story

until you reach Devil's fee and speak

with helsick

after paying her for services head to

the room upstairs to use the teleport to

House of Hope

make sure to grab a long rest before you

get there as long rests are turned off

in that location Place 5 items School

incense coin of Mammon diamond and

infernal marble as shown on the screen

thank you

after entering House of Hope speak to

Hope and get clothes that will make

members of this location friendly too

head over to the first room there you

can speak with infernal Mason for a

piece of Law and you can loot this room

then head to the east Corridor you are

free to loot all the chests on the

corridors you can explore first doors on

the right to the portal room for a bit

of Law and information

then head further north now that we

looted and explored everything up to the

dolls shrouded by Mystic Force curtain

we will backtrack East to their balcony

facing outside

jump through the Rocks until you reach

bedroom entering bedroom you'll have to

face Halep there are several possible

outcomes two main ones either kill him

or let him have fun with you if you

choose the latter your character will

have a random event further down the

story which might be a bit annoying I

have opted in to kill Harlem it won't be

too demanding at the start of the combat

he will summon few aims but as we are

able to regenerate after this fight use

all the power at your disposal to get

rid of them after killing the demon head

to the closest wall painting to the west

of the bed and reveal hidden Save open

it with the key from halib's body or

pick locket lastly looting Thai room and

use the water tops in bathing area to

regenerate your party that counts as a

long rest and you can use it as many

times as you wish remove the dolls

shrouding and head forward to the doors

facing you lock pick them and you will

reveal House of Hope treasury loot

everything and continue heading west

once you reach Library room hope will

appear next to the doors for the best

outcome you will need to succeed on the

throw to find the archivist fear once

you enter archivist will face you if you

succeeded on the throw you can pretend

to be high Inquisitor which will give

you supervised but friendly access to

the room now for the tricky part

archivist will follow your character and

on the top of that there are other

skeletons tending to the room

split your lock picking character from

the party then get archivists to follow

the group to the opposite side of the

room then the lock picker and still

everything while avoiding skeleton's

side maneuver archivist with your party

around the room as you progress until

you claim all the loot leaving your

contract to the end once you looted the

room apart of contract split your party

again leave one character that can use

invisibility or character with

invisibility scroll or potion next to

the contract and move all the three

characters East through the first room

to where we started once on the main

Corridor look South to the round golden

floor tile there is an entrance to

Hope's prison once in there you will

need to face two Spectators and 5 aims

dispatch them and use all the Karma to

destroy pillars that are holding hope

now upon freeing hope or picking up the

contract entire house of hope will turn

hostile but all NPCs from the library

will disappear use the character we left

to pick up the contract the news

invisibility and run the same path as

your party did to join them back in the

main Corridor dispatch all the enemies

until you reach the bedroom so you can

have access to water tabs that provide

long rest then regenerate and backtrack

to the main room dispatched a group of

enemies in there then go back to

regenerate again and head back to the

first room with the portal back to

baldus gate time for the final boss

Raphael

if your gear is still alive at this

point he can join you in the fight

against Raphael Raphael himself will

have 666 Health points and 4 pillars

located around the room that unless took

down will provide him with massive

bonuses on top of that there's also mate

responsible for House of Hope defenses

and 6 demons you will have hope on your

team to assist you but whatever you do

do not use her divine intervention to

deal damage in the room in House of Hope

any holy damage dealt is also dealt to

the character that did it using that

spell will kill hope and we need her to

survive this encounter to finish her

Quest you can still use divine

intervention from any other cleric if

you have them in your party

and use hopes one to get your party back

to full health and all spells restored

if you wish to make this fight easy

place two Rune powder barrels one

between left or right pillars and one in

the middle of the room then move your

group to the side without the barrel at

the combat start prigate the middle

Barrel that will get rid of pillars

demons and severely wound the Raphael

then just finish him off regardless of

the outcome I suggest keeping yoga and

hope safe yoga for the help further down

the story and hope to receive the final

legendary item once Raphael is

dispatched and you have talked to both

of your allies yoga and hope leave the

house of Hope back to the devil's fee

you should end up with three legendary

items

heldusk armor that provides 21 Armor

class makes anywhere considered

proficient with this arm automatically

inflict burning damage on the attackers

if you succeeded on saving fro provide

resistance to fire damage decrease any

damage by free and provide fly spell

gloves of Soul catching provide 1D 10

false damage on unarmed attacks restore

10 Health once per turn on an armed

attack advantage on next attack saving

throw and plus 2 to Constitution up to

20.

all for comma 4 to 13 damage provide

that advantage on saving throws against

spells unshuckling strike action it's

quite important law wise so keep it

close at all times

and also four very rare items

Amulet of Greater Health Constitution is

set to 23 and you have advantage on

Constitution saving throws

gauntlets of Hill giant strength

strength is raised to 23 and plus 1 to

strength saving throws

heldusk helmet you can see from magical

and ordinary Darkness up to 12 meters

you cannot be blinded and critically

struck you have plus two unsaving throws

against spells and provide spell

emulating gaze

stuff of spell power have one D6 plus 2

damage provide skill Arcane battery that

once per long rest allows you to cast

one spell of any slot without spending

the slot and also provide plus 1 to

spell save and spell attack rolls

quick tip for Amulet of Greater health

and gauntlets of Hill giant strength

they both set their respective stats to

23 which cannot be affected further get

widows to reset items wearer and remove

all bonuses to this start then

redistributed to other stats and use the

item to compensate for it and this is

how you maximize the loot and deal with

Raphael in House of Hope

see you next time
