Helldusk Armour Location | |
---|---|
Obtained after beating a Level 12 Raphael in the House of Hope during the quest to find the Orphic Hammer. |
The Helldusk Armor is Raphael's personal armor that you can only get if you fight him in the House of Hope. To trigger the option that takes you to his abode in hell, progress the quest to Free Orpheus and meet with Rapahel inside the Sharess' Caress brothel in the South Span of Wyrm's Crossing.
Once you arrive, head up to the 3rd floor and look for the Devil's Den room (by reading the plaques on the walls). Speak to Raphael inside and refuse the contract. This unlocks the option to infiltrate the House of Hope via the Deal with the Devil side quest.
When you first arrive in Rivington, the bridge called the South Span of Wyrm's Crossing will be closed off to everyone. In order to reach Sharess' Caress (which is on the bridge) you will need to head to a small ledge to the east of the Crossing entrance. From there, use jump to reach the platform that leads you to the bridge.
Before you can infiltrate the House of Hope, you will need to find a diabolist named Helsik in Baldur's Gate. However, to enter the city, you will need a pass or an invitation to Gortash's coronation. Players will be able to find a pass or invitation at the following locations:
Once you have access to the Lower City, make your way east of the Basilisk Gate. Diabolist Helsik can be found in the Devil's Fee - a large building next to the Forge of the Nine where you find the blacksmith, Dammon.
Before you can ask Helsik to open a portal to hell for you, you will need to pass a Perception Check (WIS, DC5) and an Arcana Check (INT, DC15) on any two items on display. Once you identify two successfully, you can speak to Helsik and tell her to show you her real inventory.
After she shows you her true colors, you can then ask her to open a portal for you to the House of Hope. The price will be 20000 Gold. If you do not have that much, you can intimidate her to lower the price to half, or persuade her to waive the fee. The last method will have you retrieve the Gauntlets of Hill Giant Strength for her.
Helsik Dialogue |

---|---|
Helsik: Of course, such a task will require quite the substantial donation to Lord Mammon's coffers. (20000) | Dialogue Options | Dialogue Results |
[Persuasion (DC20)] Waive the fee and I'll add one of Raphael's artefacts to your collection. |
Success Helsik accepts but you have to retrieve the Gauntlets of Hill Giant Strength for her in the House of Hope. Failure Helsik gets mad and tells you it isn't worth the risk. Price stays at 20,000 Gold. |
[Intimidation (DC25)] You'll halve that price or I'll halve you. |
Success Helsik agrees. Price is discounted to 10,000 Gold. Failure Helsik gets mad and tells you it isn't worth the risk. Price stays at 20,000 Gold. |
With the materials secure to open a portal, make your way to the House of Hope by setting up the materials on the blood circle inside Helsik's room. Follow the set-up above to open the portal.
Warning: The game isn't lying when it tells you that there are many challenges in Hell. Before you attempt to get the Helldusk Armor, make sure you're at least a Level 10 party since, at the end of this quest, you will need to defeat a Level 12, 666 HP Raphael along with a handful of 96 HP Cambions.
In order to summon and fight Raphael in the House of Hope you will need to first steal the Orphic Hammer. Once you pick it up from its pedestal, Raphael will come rushing back to the House of Hope, unlocking his boss fight.
To get the Helldusk Armor piece, you will need to defeat Raphael (Level 12 and boasting 666 HP). He will also have allies in the form of Korilla the Warlock, Yurgir the Orthon, as well as 6 Cambions. Once the devil is dead, simply loot the Helldusk Armor off of his body.
