Raphael can be fought in the [[House of Hope]]'s foyer. The cutscene and ensuing fight only begin once the "Portal to the Devil's Fee" is selected, allowing time for the party to position themselves around the room.
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]].
The player may be joined by [[Hope]] if they completed [[Save Hope]] before confronting Raphael. Yurgir will also join the party if they previously sided with him during the quest [[Kill Raphael's Old Enemy]] and completed [[Break Yurgir's Contract]] in [[Act Two]]; otherwise, he will need to be convinced to switch sides with a {{Ability check|Persuasion|30}}.

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.
Raphael also has the ability to sever souls. If a party member is downed by Raphael during the battle, they will receive the condition [[Severed Soul (Condition)|Severed Soul]], having disadvantage on attack rolls and all ability checks. This debuff can be removed by the party member, by casting {{SAI|Restore Soul}} on either Raphael or a Soul Pillar -- affected party members automatically gain this ability while they have the Severed Soul condition. The debuff will also be removed if Raphael is defeated.

When all soul pillars have been destroyed Raphael will permanently transform into his Ascended Fiend form. When transforming into his fiend form for this final time, the four broken soul pillars will give him four final soul charges.
When all soul pillars have been destroyed Raphael will permanently transform into his Ascended Fiend form. When transforming into his fiend form for this final time, the four broken soul pillars will give him four final soul charges.


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=}}.  
At this stage, he may use his most powerful attack, [[#_Ravaging Inferno|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).
* Before fighting Raphael, the restoration faucets 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).
* Placing [[Smokepowder Barrel]]s or [[Runepowder Barrel]]s around each pillar before beginning the fight can help you easily remove Soul Pillars and deal damage during combat.
* Having [[The Blood of Lathander]] equipped and standing near the middle of the room can blind him upon entering combat, via the [[Lathander's Light]] passive feature.

* 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}}.
*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 Consume Souls. Raphael will also be harder to hit the more pillars are active, as each pillar increases his AC through his DEX score.

** The [[Orphic Hammer]], which is picked up at the House of Hope, may be useful for destroying the pillars.
*Take care when using Radiant damage against Raphael's cambions, as their {{cond|Fleeting Protection}} allows Raphael to reflect twice the amount of radiant damage done as Fire damage.
*{{SAI|Planar Binding}} is useful here for controlling the cambions.
* If the party rescued [[Hope]], she will also have available {{SAI|Divine Intervention}} and her unique {{SAI|Revoke Guest Status}} which can be used to permanently eject cambions.
*{{SAI|Hold Monster}} is very effective against Raphael since, while the condition ends following his next turn due to his {{SAI|Inevitable Resolve}} feature, it effectively skips his turn and all damage he takes until he breaks out of it become Critical Hits.


* Take care when using {{DamageType|radiant}} damage against Raphael and his [[Cambion]]s, as they both have conditions that let them take reactions against it.
