Agreeing or refusing Raphael, the devil’s deal in BG3, will affect differently with different choices. This guide will show you how to clear up your dilemma and help you choose a choice at the end of this article.
Experience the epic adventure in the world of Faerun in Baldur’s Gate 3. Enjoy this latest RPG with your team and fight against evil in different missions and quests. As the story begins, players will be affected by the deadly tadpoles or parasites, and the ultimate goal will be to find a cure for this situation.
However, as there are different quests and even side quests, you may meet various NPCs, such as mages, Tielflings, Druids, Devils, etc. Some of the characters will become allies, and some of them will not. For example, Raphael is a devil who constantly tries to get you into his deal but can’t until you get to Baldur’s Gate in the last phase of the game.
Raphael will appear in the Titular City when you visit Kith’rak Voss. Players will know about that devil’s plan to get the Elder Brain Crown of the Chosen, and he will ask you to join hands in that dirty work. Now, it will be your choice to agree or refuse the devil’s deal in BG3.
Raphael’s Deal—Agree or Refuse?
Great rewards may come if you choose to work for Raphael, but on the other hand, there are some benefits if you refuse to work for him.
There are two choices for this Raphel situation in BG3;
Agree with Raphael’s Deal
If you agree with Raphael’s deal and hand him the Elder Crown, he will give you the exquisite Orphic Hammer. And with that weapon, players can free Prince Orpheus and the Emperor from the Astral Prism.
But after that, you and your team must work devotedly for Raphel and hand him the Crown at the end of the game. But if Karlach is your party member, she may disagree with this deal as she hates Raphael. To keep her in the party, you may have to sneak into Raphael’s den and find a way to cancel the contract, which will eventually be known to Raphael, and he will be angry with you.
Refuse Raphael’s Deal
If you refuse the devil’s deal, it will still be active for you to pursue until the end of Baldur’s Gate, and you can agree to the deal anytime you feel like it.
However, you can always go to Raphael’s place with proper skill and power to loot the Orphic Hammer to free the Prince and the Emperor. This will be a great move as you wouldn’t have to make the contract with Raphael and still save the two people in BG3.
But once Raphael knows about your deeds, he won’t be happy with you, and things may get heated in the end, so be prepared for it.
However, it is recommended not to make a deal with Raphael, and it will be better for you and your party to refuse the deal in BG3.
