House of Hope: Difference between revisions

To access the House of Hope, the player must travel to the [[Devil's Fee]]  in the northern-central part of the {{Coords|-37|-10|Lower City}}. From the Lower City Centre Wall waypoint, head north up the path and go inside the gate towards the large house. Inside you will talk to the proprietor, [[Helsik]], who will provide the components to open a portal, given that the player meets one the following conditions:

* Succeed a DC 25 Intimidation check and pay the lower price of 10,000 gold,

Helsik will then provide the player with the [[Grimoire Bound in Imp Skin]], a Ritual Pouch containing the required items, and instructions on how to perform the ritual itself. Head upstairs and inside of the ritual circle, pull out all of the items from the bag. The note, [[Opening a Hell Gate]], will explain all the steps involved. The order in which the steps are performed is irrelevant.

Duplicates of five of the ritual ingredients, but not the grimoire or the instructions, can be found in various places around Helsik's room: the skull on the wooden casket in the middle of the room next to a row of books on the left side of the double door, incense on the small table next to the southern balcony door; infernal marble in the opulent chest beside the door to the bedroom; a diamond in the gilded chest near the desk by the window; and a Coin of Mammon in the gilded chest on the bedside cabinet.

At the top of the stairs is a Ward trap placed that will cast a Fireball spell each time it is stepped on. On its right is a Ward shaped as an Imp that recites; "Gravelled tongue, sanded throat. Hard to swallow... hurts to ''breathe''...". Placing any water or wine{{note|There is a bottle of [[Stagswift Tonic]] and [[Frostkiss Ale]] below a Stuffed Deep Rothé head on the stairway.}} will disarm the trap, replying "Too wet. Too cold. No fun. Begone!".

The Main Corridor is shaped like half a circle and can be accessed from the east and west exits from the Feast Hall. It connects all the rooms of the House and is populated by several Eternal Debtors. In the Main Corridor various contains can be found which contain a Debtor's Attire. The Prison Hatchway, which leads to Hope's prison, is located on the east end of the corridor.  

East of the feast hall is a large room filled with portals leading to a number of different locations. The portals are all closed, but can be interacted with to hear a brief line about each destination. The player avatar and origins each have a different line.

North of the Chamber of Egress a balcony can be found from where it's possible to go outside the House. Outside, just north of the balcony is a Passageway which leads to Hope's prison. Also on the outside, through jumping from rock platform to rock platform one can reach the Boudoir.

In the first section of the room are some locked opulent chests, one of which contains a [[Potion of Angelic Slumber]]. A pool sits in the centre of the room, with some restoration facets that will restore the party's resources as if they had taken a long rest (does not work during fighting or after having beaten Raphael). The faucets do not restore the party's ability to take additional short rests, but they do restore a bard's related {{SAI|Song of Rest}} ability.
