For those having issue with the oath breaker paladin causing everyone to fight in camp: Lure the oath breaker paladin away with the cat summon then once he’s far away enough have whoever your oath breaker is interact with him from there you should be able to cast silence and start hitting Raphael in peace
Thank you very much for sharing! :)
Doesn’t work, as soon as he returns to his original spot if you attack Raphael he’ll turn the camp aggro
@@Alecfisher01 it does tho
@@Iemon2004yea, I just noticed that we’ll have to continue casting minor illusions like every other turn
@@Alecfisher01 wdym? If you have the find familiar spell you can summon the cat and use the “meow” from the cat to get the oath breaker Paladin to follow it away from the line of sight of Raphael and then have whoever your oath breaker is talk to him so he stays in dialogue then you should be able to cast silence on Raphael and start hitting him
I did this in my most recent playthrough. Funny enough when you see him in act 2 at the inn (if you go right there). Raph will be beat to utter shit, bruised and bloody.
Can you not get the armour in act 2 if you missed the opportunity like I did in act 1?
@@fyorbanethis method only works if you skip the act 1 Raphael conversation and it retriggers in camp. As far as I know it’s the only one you can get to trigger in camp.
Does he stay 1 hp in the house of hope?
@@sirenx8414 nah he has full health in the fight, tested it yesterday
@@SomeLad12 Will a second helldusk armour spawn?
If it were not 5am id go assemble a party to do this rn lol
Go back to sleep! lol
I'm at work so I can't lol
Awesomely done, good information and the pacing of the video was perfect. Thanks dude!
Thank you! :)
I'd recommend using a barbarian with reckless attack and something that does bludgeoning so that even when you miss you get advantage and you still hit for at least one. I let Karlach go to town on him and it took about 5 minutes
Great vid, a little help i found for this is you can sneak behind him for advantage on all of your attacks when crouching. Still 44% chance to hit but the advantage helped me alot at lvl 4
Thanks for the info
I tried this twice on my Honor mode runs and didn’t know about turning on NLD to knock him out
Damn, If I wasn’t already so far ahead I would make a new HM character
The best of all, Raphael still got these wounds upon his face, when you meet him later. Isn't so frightening how he think he is 😂
So smart, amazing
Thanks for watching.
For me Raphael appeared when I was on the ceiling beam in the goblin building
I wouldn't say it's the best armor in the game, but it's definitely top 3. I gotta say the Armor of Persistence is better. Innate resistance and blade ward is fantastic for any character on top of reduced damage by 2. Only thing its missing is the proficiency unfortunately.
Still working in Honour Mode, patch 6 late May, Raphael has 865 life and is level 16
Prepare to miss a lot :)
It didn‘t trigger him when i went to the place he would first arive but few hours later right outside emerald grove near the harpies sadly i wasn‘t prepared
anyone with the same problem ?
Questions, can this be done with the Selunite Outpost trigger? If not, is there a way to avoid the trigger?
If i attack him in the bridge would i still be able to continue the underdark or i will have to avoid long resting?
- He can appear at other locations so just be prepared and interrupt the conversation.
- Yes, you can take the Underdark route, it's fine.
- Even if you long rest, he usually won't show up at your camp. He'll only do so when you're about to leave Act 1.
I can't get this to work. He teleports away whenever he hits 0 health. NLD is on and i am using melee attacks.
Question, can you still go to his home in the hells to get the purple one of a kind items if you get the armor early?
you knock him out and dont kill him, so yes you should meet him again in the brothel/house of hope
Yes.
Sûre, same than silver sword, if u have it, can't found it a 2nd time, but the rest of the dialog and action works. I've tried it Just some minutes before, already work with patch 6. The one for silver sword actually give an arbalet. Thanks.
You can have two silver swords, one in act 1 and one in act 3, in act 3 you should not make a deal with raphael and the voss will wait for u in sewers, there you can pickpocket him for his sword( the voss sword) and you can cast drop weapon on him to drop the silver sword.. just make aure you cast darkness when u pick it if not voss will become hostile@@marsmalphas2794
@@marsmalphas2794 this comment was very useful thank you
Hell yes, thank you!
You're welcome.
Question do you NEED to do this asap or can you do this later on?
You can only do this in Act 1.
Just letting you know this still works in April 2024
Thanks for sharing. :)
I did this but he just disappears
@@alvinbgyt5143 He should show up in your camp once you move to Act 2. Maybe a long rest? I forget but he did show up in my camp.
@@timradde4328wait so you only get the armour by start of act 2?
@@chrislap6541 I am probably wrong on that. It was months ago that I did this. But you do have to go into the next zone thru that arch and then long rest. Sorry I did not mean to confuse you. I am not really sure where the break is between Act 1 and 2.
i already finished blighted village and met raphael, can i still use this glitch when i met raphael again? or the only chance is wait till act 3 when we met him on house of hope?
If he already took you to the House of Hope then it's no longer possible to do the glitch. You'll have to wait til Act 3 to get the armor.
Does this work in act 2 when you see him in front of shars temple? I'm already past act 1.
No. He'll leave the area when you attack him and Astarion's personal quest will fail.
Funny enough I’ve NEVER seen Raphael in my camp
The reason you can wear it as any class is that it counts as clothing. You can still get your bonuses with monk/barb
It is heavy armor tho. It just makes the wearer proficient. Highly doubt you at the very least get monk unarmoured defense bonus.
@@AwesomeZpyGamer you get the movement buff. Also the bracers of defense work with that "armor" as well. Just confirmed although I haven't updated to the new patch yet so they might of changed it there
I am pretty sure I tried to put it on Karlach and she lost her rage ability. Which is why I found out Barbarians can't wear heavy armor in the first place...
@cookie_space they might of changed it since I posted this
@@ethanpeeples6187 It literally says heavy armor in the video
Where can you find the boots in act3? As far as I know, there are no flawless helldusk boots.
Up top in WyrmRest in a chest. Where you need to kill Gortash, but the Steel Watchers are all dead. So not a hard fight.
Does Raphael stay 1hp at the house of hope where the fight is or does he regain his health back to 666hp?
Full health at HoH. Just no armor as you have it now.
Still works as of end of may 2024
May 28 2024, After several attempts with knockout and turn based mode, all resulted in him vanishing before waking up.
@@Ian-cr6bu tried it last night for the first time (may 28 2024) and it worked for me
@@PredatorAvPFan did you catch him on the bridge?
@@Ian-cr6bu Did you catch him on the bridge?
@@brettfletcher6547 yes. I then beat the rest of act 1 over the course of a few weeks. After killing the goblins, raph appeared when in my camp when I tried to go to the crèche
I already pass through him, but havent pass mountain path yet, is it posible to get the armor?
If he already took you to House of Hope, then it's no longer possible.
does this change anything with future interactions with raphael?
Nope! Raphael turns the other cheek (What a nice guy right!)
As said by someone before, the only différence is that you Will find him beated at Last Light inn
This is kinda neat, kudos for coming up with it.. but to me, it seems a lot of in-game systems are just being abused, to the point where I'd rather simply use a mod or save-editor and give myself the armor.
Ye, but this is for console players who want some help/just want to play in different way since they've already finished the game once.
Not the whole community can just mod the game for cheating
Heading to the Mountain Pass early doesn't break any of the Grove quests does it?
It will, unfortunately. So only head there once you've done everything you wanted to do in Act 1.
Do we know what specifically it breaks in Act 1 besides the grove quest?@@MrGeeBee34
Like any of the Underdark/Nere stuff?
@@flyinalexnope, only breaks the Grove questline. underdark etc stays the same
i heard that there was like a point of no return when you enter mountain pass and can't continue with the act 1 quests how does that work, idk i'm new help
Iirc the mountain pass only locks you out of the druid grove if you haven't dealt with the ritual yet. If you kill the druids, investigate kagha, or free halsin so he becomes the leader then you should be fine to enter the mountain pass
It means that the unfinished quests will be marked as completed and their canon ending will take effect. E.g. if you haven't rescued Halsin yet then he'll die if you proceed to Act 2.
aaah okay thank you so muchh!
Does this cause issue with any quest progression?
Nope.
@@MrGeeBee34 So if you go to mountain pass, do you have to actually pass through to have him go to your camp? Because if yes, then don't you have to finish everything in Act 1 before you do that?
Still work?
@@nadia00033yup, i Just do it on xbox
@@Northwiteactually, you must at least save the emerald grove from olodan before, unless the ritual Will go on, and block the grove.
Why does Raph disappear after being stunned? Doesn't it work anymore in patch 6?
You can only reduce his hitpoints to zero when he's in your camp. Attacking him anywhere else and he'll disappear.
@@MrGeeBee34 That's right, I attacked him in the camp and he disappeared after I stunned him, gave him 1400 experience, but he himself disappeared
Same. Must be a new patch
Did you put the non lethal attack ? It Just work fine for me
Does this work on ps5 because I got his health low and I had non lethal damage on and I even went into turn based mode but he doesn’t fall on the ground he just immediately teleports away.
Did you ever find an answer on this? Same thing just happened to me
Same here
It happened on PC too
Someone answer this! Please!
@@MrXM1 No I still haven’t found an answer to it yet sadly. And sorry that I didn’t respond sooner, I didn’t know that you responded to my comment.
Its not letting me switch characters 2 attack him when we "ungrouo" and he appears..
Am i missing something???
He just keeps blathering on 2 my tav without letting me interrupt with ungrouped companion
That happens if the character you're switching to is too near. Try moving him farther away from Raphael's spawn point.
Great! Thx!
@@MrGeeBee34 Yes, this happened to me and I realized I was too close. Went back to my previous save and moved him back and it then worked.
do you get exp? I cant see you got it in the video
Supposed to get 1400xp I think.
Is it no longer possible to get experience for killing/knocking him out?
Doesnt seem like it... no party exp gain on log.
Not worth the hassle if no exp
It still worked for me
Rafael never spawns at that location in any of my playtroughs. Alwayls get hem at the Selune outpost in the Underdark.
I believe his appearance has to do if you've come in contact with an illithid tadpole specimen. Nettie in Emerald Grove has one in her shop. Take it and hold onto it, then try what the video suggests
He ALWAWYS spawns for me in Act I as near as just outside of the Druids Grove gate. The place where you have to jump and hike to the top of that burned outpost on the hill.
@avellimike yep, that's where I get him too. Every time.
The easiest way to trigger raf is to actually consume a parasite. If you consume a parasite and go to any of three locations he will pop up immediately.
Typically based on when you can aquire them the two most common places are the broken bridge and the druid camp near alfira.
Yeah, I've had him spawn close to where you find Scratch and on top of the hill with the spiders in the rocky crevice.
I met him at the bridge but didn't hit him. Will he still appear in the camp?
Guy making the video missed as well at the bridge
Hhhm; doesnt seem to work on console as I dont have the option of switching over to another character while my main separate is talking to Raphael
Gotta distance your solo character further then while in dialogue hit LT should work
Can anything even hit you in act 1 if you get this armor?
I've had some enemies miraculously meet the ac to attack and it leaves me dumbfounded (without crit)
So I was oathbreaker and casted silence on the devil next thing the oathbreaker guy started fighting and Raphael and my MAIN character turned against me EVEN scratch.
Make sure Scratch and any of your companions are not in the silence bubble when you cast it. Other than this, I can't think of any reason why they'd turn hostile. They aren't doing this on my playthrough.
You can't do this as an oath breaker ever
@@assketchum5266true
You can lure the knight with meow and then talk to him with your main charecter and then you can cast silence
Does this break your missions in act 1?
No, it won't.
Actually yes, you must finish the emerald grove quest (at least investigation on kagha) , or the grove Will be blocked by the ritual
How bad does it break the story though. I got the gith sword and made laezel think we had advanced the story act 3.
It doesn’t break anything he talks and interacts with you like nothing even happened
Did they patch it every time I get him low he disappears I do have non lethal attacks on
I am betting they patched it.
@@timradde4328 they did you can’t even switch characters anymore once a cutscene starts they stopped all the cheese
@@kusansimpson2514 That wasn't a cut scene. He shows up at your camp with a "!" over his head meaning he wants to talk. So don't talk to him. Cast "silence" on him with no one else in that area. Worked for me a few months ago. Maybe they have patched it maybe not.
Raphael always teleports out when i use non lethal as well
DId you cast silence ?
@@JaredRusson ye, i casted silence and used that spear, he showed up in act 2 and has a broken nose and two black eyes😂😂
@@user-td5gy6gw8wI’m having this problem too I don’t get it. Maybe it’s because my own character casted silence?
@@mitchellmayberry4986 You have to cast silence or he will go into his cut scene if you talk to him. Silence prevents him from talking and casting.
I did this. I didn't know I had to complete the whole act first lol. Where are his spawn points at?
In my playthroughs, he usually appears near the bridge as shown in the vid. But he can also show up in the Underdark and Goblin Camp.
when i cast silence my companions start to attak me
You need to cast it on Raphael and avoid hitting your companions.
If you have oathbreaker knight, he will cause everyone to fight
@@LazyAzzGuyguess i gotta kill the oathbreaker first smh 😭😭
My entire party tries to kill me as soon as I do this
If you have the Oathbreaker paladin NPC in your camp, check the pinned message.
So how much time do you actually have before he shows up at your camp if you manage to make him dissapear on your first meeting?
Until you reaction mountain pass 4:04
@martintran6462 so you could actually make him dissapear on the first meeting and then play all of act 1 before moving on to the mountain pass?
@@raulcastellanos6534late but yes. Did this on my playthrough. Sucks you have to wait until mountain pass but best armor in the game by far so worth having it early
@@raulcastellanos6534 yea the only trigger for him coming to camp is leaving the main act one area going into act 2 shadowlands or mountain pass will have him come to camp
It’s incredibly strong for this point of the game, but I disagree with it being the strongest Armor in the game, the only thing it really has going for it in act 3 is having 1 more AC than +2 Plate Amour and reducing all damage taken by 3, but Dammon sells a piece of Armour that also reduces all damage, while giving you Blade Ward and Resistance at all times. The ability to fly is irrelevant in act 3 due to everyone having free access to permanent flight anyway, and the burn is negligible outside of some niche builds.
Let me ask you something. Is this armor that Damon sells available for any casters to wear?? What’s that? It isn’t? 🤔 🤷🏻♂️
I guess that’s something else that the HellDusk Armor has going for it huh? EVERYONE is proficient with it! That’s what makes it the best.
@@jcase6199 Why bother asking a question that you’re just gonna answer yourself lmao. Don’t do that, it makes you look like a massive tool.
As for casters, by Act 3 they have some of the best choices for armour in the game that faaaar exceed this mediocre armour. The only thing this armour gives them is AC, I guess, but they don’t really need to worry about that when they can prevent everything from being able to play, anything that helps their DC is MUCH more preferable for them, and they can still get respectable AC without it, and using resources they have that part completely covered anyway.
From memory this armour gives you 21 AC, a lot of spellcasters can easily get to 30 AC without this armour. Sure, they need to spend resources to get that high, but in Act 3 that doesn’t really matter.
Pretty much every optimised spellcaster build already gets proficiency with heavy amour anyway, so the the armour making you automatically proficient with it is isn’t really that special by the point you’d normally get it.
The only build I could MAYBE see using it in Act 3 is Arcane Trickster, as it’s the only Rogue that can somewhat keep up in endgame thanks to being able to sling Spells and Sneak Attack in the same turn. But even that’s really only because Rogue in particular got shafted for armour choices compared to everyone else.
Also, some Clerics do get the armour from Dammon, and last time I checked, they are in fact spellcasters.
We did everything but he disappeared he had silence on him
I think it's patched
So this doesn’t affect the story at all?
Nope.
He appeared before me in the Druid grove, right about when I was about to save the tiefling boy from the harpies. I’ll see if I can use your tip to get the armor early. Though personally I’d want to wear armor that looked holy. Not only because my MC is a cleric, but also because I’m a Christian.
You can always dye it! :)
@@MrReddieZ This isn’t a joke.
@KingNazaru They Patched it unfortunately, but my point still stands, even some of the evil looking armor can look holy with the right dye.
@@MrReddieZ No it wouldn’t. It still has the demon faces monster appendages on it.
Based on
I could not get the silver sword because the dude had a crossbow on him. So when I used drop weapon, drop the crossbow, they fixed it, it's patched.
It’s not patched he has a chance to spawn in with his crossbow equipped, to fix simply reload a save before the cutscene and see if his weapon is switched
@natsukugaming2247 i tried that but maybe i have to do it a few times. Thx
Voss carrying a crossbow isn't a fix. People have been reporting this since I first released the video, and I don't know why he's not carrying a sword in some playthroughs. Do let us know if you find a way around it.
no, they don't/ Just use Shadowheart's spell on "drop weapon" being invisible with 9% chance.
I think Larian is just going to leave it in. I successfully did it a few days ago. When you talk to lae'zel afterwards you can talk about the silver sword
Has this been patched??
Everytime I cast silence my whole camp splits in two teams and I end up with a civil war
Check the pinned comment. One viewer found a way around this.
@@MrGeeBee34 ...I figured it out. I had the oathbeaker in my camp. I needed to kill him first.
They may have removed this as of today. ¿Can someone confirm?
I can't hard confirm but I can confirm it is also not working for me latest patch ps5
I just did everything correctly and it doesnt work anymore. They fixed this route.
Work on xbox
I just did this activated non lethal and he just disappeared
Maybe they patched it? It worked for a several months ago and I am deep in act 3 now.
What’s the draw backs
None that I have seen.
So do you get another helldusk in act 3? 🤨
no
I have tried this multiple ways and every time I cast silence, the camp turns on me.
I am an Oathbreak and even if I regain my oath before doing this, they still turn hostile. It keeps making me take a stealth check (which shadowheart fails every single time). Even if she does pass the stealth check, it's like the whole camp is looking for the culprit. I have reloaded a few times and tried it and have been unsuccessful.
And sometimes, she will make the save but when I swap to Tav and start to run over there to attack him, the camp turns hostile. So, I am stumped.
Also, there are no allies in the sphere. Just Raphael.
Patch 5 or 6?
@@renovajinn5434 patch 6
cast silence from your avatar, not a companion.
I cast it with shadowheart, work at least
I tried this but why did everyone else in my camp attacked me?
Is the Oathbreaker knight in your camp? If so, check the pinned message.
Works in patch 6?
Yep, I did this a couple of hours ago!
Bro even if i dont hit a companion they still attack me
If you’re an oathbreaker, that’s why.
When I knock him out he just instantly disappears. Zero way to loot. I did everything the same and even tried other methods and it doesn't matter he just teleports gone. No animation, no knock out. Just gone the frame he goes to 1 health.
same thing happens for me, maybe it was fixed in a recent hotfix ?
@@Meoscend ok it finally worked for me on a different playthrough. I don't know why exactly it wasn't working before but I noticed if I had anything that was doing extra damage in any way like rings or potions or whatever that caused it to not work. I got it to work on my monk/rogue playthrough with very basic melee attacks. i swapped it to non lethal at like 45 DMG left. He dropped exactly like in the video. This happened after patch 6 about 3 days ago
I Just do it a few minutes ago, and put him to 0 without non lethal attack, then i activate it, knockdown, and take armor, then ...
@@SunLeaf-tp7hvthis what happened to me. He disappeared once I knock him out. I’m playing on my ps5
@@alvinbgyt5143so apparently it doesn't work if you have any gear doing any extra damage other than the basic weapon damage. Like if you have the acid ring that lets your attacks do extra acid damage it kills him not knocks him out. Take off all gear at last 50 health and just use a basic no extra damage melee weapon
can you still do this after the first conversation, when he spawns in last light inn or in the cursed lands? cus this mf jumpscared me inside the druids grove and since i didnt even know he can spawn there, i wasnt prepared to knock him out and steal his shit.
nope, the game want to introduce him to you early game, if you don't talk to Nettie in grove he will not appear until you pass through mountain and only there you can do it.
and because you spoke to Nettie there are 3 locations he will spawn as far as I kn, including the Crossroad of the Grove.
basically if you seek a healer he will come to you.
@@Era_Of_Awakening so the glitch only works when hes in your camp? he doesnt carry the armour outside of it?
he spawned INSIDE the grove for me. right next to the ritual of thorns.
It's not possible to do this at the inn. The harpers will turn hostile. And outside the Thorm mausoleum he'll leave if you attack him.
Works on patch 6??
@@minuwasfish only in your camp work, otherwise he will vanish with or without silence.
but he cannot vanish in mountain pass, you are forced to talk to him so it's an opportunity to beat his arse xD
Nobody figures these out at their first runs xP maybe i try this with my second playthru
Yup. Multiple playthroughs is recommended, otherwise you'll be missing a lot. It's impossible to experience everything in 1 run.
Did it today on PS5. I had 55% with Astral Sword so wasnt so bad
Thanks for sharing. Glad to know it still works.
I tried this with some mods with tougher combat and man rapheal was at 6.5k hp😂😂😂😂
he just disappeared when i did it? anyone have any idea why?
Did you manage to interrupt your first conversation with him? If he teleported you to the House of Hope, it's no longer possible to do this. He'll leave once you attack him.
@@MrGeeBee34 meeting him in camp was the first time, he wasnt at the bridge. do you need to activate turn based before hes down?
How do i get him to my camp?
You need to stop him from taking you to the House of Hope when he randomly appears. That event is pivotal to the story so he'll then show up at your camp later on and won't let you rest til you talk to him.
Does this still work
No just 1400 xp
What if I already talked to him?
If he's already taken you to the House of Hope then this method will no longer work.
This work on ps5?
I'm on PC. I don't know. Let's hope someone can share if it does.
@@MrGeeBee34 it worked on ps5 just a few minutes ago. Thanks!
@@patrykolszewski593 then it's changed as of 3 days ago, cuz i just barely did it

Got screwed out of doing this becase I didnt have the heart to shatter Mayrinas fiction she had made to cope with her greif , Oathbreaker knight is a dickhead, I think he works for Rapheal
I just ruined an honor mode playthrough, it seems the oathbreaker paladin knight doesn't enjoy it when you do this and will rek your whole camp
But I did find that arsonists oil on the everburn blade should take a big chunk out of him
thanks for the video. but sometime the glitches are just not worth it and i would rather use a mod get overpowered equipment
Thanks for watching.
Not anyone can mod...
Doesn’t work anymore
I JUST did it. still works.
@@Asstmgrmike you are lying L
And of course the oathbreaker knight goes aggro for me. Smfh this dude is sensitive af no wonder he broke his oath.
lol. check the pinned comment. someone came up with a solution for that.
@@MrGeeBee34 damn wish i woulda seen that before i just had my entire camp jump him and kill him lol. I needed that armor
I’m not personally a fan of exploiting glitches and getting gear before you’re supposed to be able to earn it through normal play. The game already isn’t that difficult to begin with if you know how to play to your party strengths.
Thanks for watching.
@@MrGeeBee34 you’re welcome! It is fun to see the content, I just don’t play that way on my play throughs! 🤘🏻
I wouldnt call this a glitch necessarily, its more of an exploit. Similar to getting the legendary silver sword from Vosh. You are right you dont really need this item, but its really fun.
Also you justify with some in lore stuff and it feels great whenever you can cheat the devil :D
@@Debilinside I said it was an exploit of glitches, which means errors in the game code that allows this exploit to happen. Using exploits to gain items in early game so that you are completely OP vs having a little of a challenge is not fun to me. If you play the game normally you’ll be able to obtain these items naturally through progression. Maybe I’m just too old school, but I actually enjoy games that give me things to progress and grind towards. This is why I don’t do a lot of online gaming, because I don’t like playing with people who exploit glitches/bugs, but at least I don’t have to do that in this game so I can enjoy it.
@@N30WULF I disagree this being an error in game code. Actually if you use silence several scripted encounter does not happen as the conversation cant trigger or you can take weapons from very strong encounters before they become hostile. I recall in Act 3 some Fist having specific dialogue for this exact scenario.
Also you can do a bunch of stuff unnoticed if you do it in a silence bubble, so there was a definitive intention on the developers part to allow some shenanigans with these spells.
I grant you this chain of events is most likely unintended consequences of the above game mechanics and most likely they didnt plan the players to be able to get the armor in Act 1. However we had 6 big patches now and like 15 hotfixes. If they wanted to remove this, they would have already as its a very easy fix. I think larian finds this funny, hence they will leave it in the game.
We had a similar situation with Minthara, originally you were not supposed to be able to recruit her if you side with the grove and Halsin, but players found a way, so Larian just leaned into it.
This game is full of disbalance and glitches. Using such glitches absolutly ruins it...its like getting items via console.
After you stoll this armor from Him, how about in fight with Rafael in Act3? Is He naked?
hahaha. no he's not naked :)
