After first arriving in the House of Hope, you will be teleported into the Foyer. Make your way towards the exit where you will have your first interaction with Hope, the house's namesake. Agree or disagree to help her (this walkthrough will assume that you are agreeing), and obtain the Debtor's clothing from her. These will allow your party to walk around the House without the occupants initiating combat. You cannot long rest in the House of Hope, but you can freely come and go through the portal while the House is passive. | After first arriving in the House of Hope, you will be teleported into the Foyer.
