The OST for this battle is the best and most successful in the game. Simply amazing, incredible work of the sound designer
This optional battle is harder and more epic than the game's final boss fight
Lyrics:
Lives All mortal lives Expire
Souls go to their dooms In flame Forevermore
Hell, Hell, Hell has its laws Hell, Hell, effects and the cause Curtain falls But hold your applause Squirm, squirm For now down here come the claws!
Lives! All mortal lives! Expire!
Souls go to their dooms! In flame! Forevermore!
Fools, fools, how hard you have fought Brave, brave, but its all been for naught True Souls that couldn't be bought Doomed, detected, and caught!
No more deals, it's over The final act: Your doom No more breaks, it's over This House of Hope Consumes!
Loved the lastest track from Grandmaster Raphizzle and the Infernal Five. I thought that was such a great touch considering what a ham Raphael is. The House of Hope fight is one of the better challenges; BG3 in general has some good encounters with secondary win/loss conditions which was a great relief.
I think the change to the original deal with Raphael is another artifact from the changes that occurred to the story, I was certain Raphael was going to be more of a macher in BG, and from what I've heard that would have been true of a few of the secondary actors, like Cazador and Ethel's sister (Maggie I think). I also was confused about Raphael's cambion status, it doesn't seem to be referenced but once.
