Where to find

• House of Hope X: -6543 Y: 2921: On the central pedestal in the Archive

Notes

• This hammer is the only way to shatter the infernal crystals that shackle:
  •  Orpheus within the ⁠Astral Plane
  •  Hope within the House of Hope
• While listed here as a story item, it is also a legendary item. See: the Rarity data field for LOW_OrphicHammer
• If the player does not have the Orphic Hammer on hand and they choose side with  Orpheus,  Raphael, if still alive, comes to the ⁠Astral Plane to either hand it over to the party after signing a deal or return it to the party if the deal was signed. Refusing the deal, attacking him or not having the Orphic Hammer if Raphael is dead causes an instant Game Over.
• Attempting to throw the Orphic Hammer into a chasm immediately teleports it back to the nearest safe spot.
