This page focuses on [[Raphael]]'s behaviour during his combat encounter. Raphael is able to be fought at the [[House of Hope]], where he is joined by [[Korilla]], [[Yurgir]] and six [[Vengeful Cambion]]s. His arena also has four Soul Pillars, which Raphael uses to regain health and cast powerful spells.

Raphael can be fought in the [[House of Hope]]s foyer. He is joined by [[Yurgir]], [[Korilla]] and six [[Vengeful Cambion]]s.

The player may be joined by [[Hope]] (see [[Save Hope]]). They may also recruit Yurgir during the pre-battle dialogue with a {{Ability check|Persuasion|30}}, if they killed him during [[Kill Raphael's Old Enemy]].

This room has four soul pillars which Raphael will use during combat. '''Each''' soul pillar gives Raphael:

* An additional {{DamageText|1~12|Fire}} damage and a +3 bonus to DEX [[checks]] and [[saving throws]] (''see [[#Soul Pillar Proximity]]'')

* One soul charge, which Raphael uses as spell slots. These are refreshed when he uses his {{SAI|Consume Souls}} ability, or when he {{SAI|Fiendish Ascension|ascends}}. (''See [[#Soul Charges]]'')

Raphael's {{SAI|Fiendish Ascension}} ability will let him take on a more powerful form (see the ''Ascended'' tab in the info box at the top of this page). He may use this to transform whenever a pillar is broken, and each destroyed pillar will give him another Soul Charge.  

 

Raphael also has the ability to sever souls. If a character reaches 0 HP while in battle, they will receive the condition {{cond|Severed Soul}}, having {{Disadvantage}} on {{Attack Roll}}s and all {{Ability Check}}s. This debuff will be removed after Raphael is defeated.

At this stage, he may use his most powerful attack, {{SAI|Ravaging Inferno}}, costing 2 soul charges and dealing 20d6 Hellfire damage in a {{AOE|radius|m=4|ft=}}.  

He will also now be able to use his {{SAI|Multiattack (Raphael)|Multiattack}}. This attack does 2d16 slashing, plus his attack modifier, which is +5 while he is in his ascended form. It also grants him {{cond|Action Surge}}, so he may use his multiattack again, possibly attacking four times in one round. Once all his soul charges are depleted, Raphael will only be able to use his multiattack.  

* Before fighting Raphael, the taps in the boudoir can be used to take a pseudo long rest. They can be used to restore spell slots after casting passive buffs, such as {{SAI|Heroes' Feast}} or {{SAI|Freedom of Movement}} (they are not considered a true [[long rest]], so conditions that are removed upon a long rest will remain).

=== During ===

* It is worthwhile destroying the surrounding Soul Pillars before focusing on Raphael, as he will not only use them for spell casting, but can regain hit points from them each round with his ability {{SAI|Consume Souls}}.

 

 

* If the party rescued [[Hope]], she will also have available {{SAI|Divine Intervention}} and a special version of {{SAI|Banishment}} which can be used to permanently eject cambions.
