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's [[# Fiendish Ascension|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 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.

* 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).

*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.

*{{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 Critial Hits.
