Just tried it and it worked 08/29/2024. If you have issues with raphael disappearing when you defeat him, you first have to bump into him near the broken bridge outside of Blighted Village. Make sure to have one companion far away when you interact with Raphael , then shoot him , and he will disappear. Then travel to the mountain pass, it will force you to rest. Thats were Raphael shows up at your camp , then you can defeat him. Make sure the last hit is non lethal. And tou should have the armor when you loot his body.
Just did this on ps5 (15th Oct 23 and it worked like a charm! A couple tips: - you can buy caustic bulbs from the underdark from the hobgoblin trader in the myconid colony. Attempt to steal the bulb next to him, and if caught, you'll get prompted to buy it to diffuse the situation (it's very cheap) - make sure you ACTIVATE non-lethal for the final hit - there's a small bit of the tent behind raphael that he can clip through. Make sure you build his cage such that your character walks flush between the tent and the boxes - bring a mix of wide trunks and cubic crates, the smaller boxes can help fill in any gaps - I temporarily turned the difficulty down to explorer to reduce raphael's HP to 466, saves a lot of time - with raphaels reduced max hp, it took about 2.5 casts of silence. This includes a little overlap to be safe
A key thing he missed is that after you make Raphael disappear, you can't take a long rest. To get around this and have a semi normal run of act one is to never encounter him in the first place. He has a lot of spawn points that guides have missed so it's tricky to do. Especially on honor mode.
Still works September 17, 2024. I’d definitely suggest casting several silences over the course of waiting for him to be low on health. For those of you worried about it affecting the story or not being able to talk to him after, you can. Far as I can tell, it doesn’t do much otherwise than getting you some good shit, some XP, and a small boost to your pride
I found a solution, so Raphael will spawn again in last light in, cast fog cloud and attack him with non lethal and pickup the armor, after that fast travel to anywhere so you dont have to fight the whole harpers😂
I would recommend using 4 or 6 level druid. At level 4 druid choose tavern brawler as a feat after that you can knock out raphael in 5 min with bear or owlbear!
Leaving a warning, if you are playing as oathbreaker, the paladin will start combat and everyone in the camp except the party will be temporarily hostile. If you want to play as an oathbreaker, leave it to break the oath after getting Raphael's armor.
You have to enter the mountain pass afterwards, he didn’t mention that in the video. The only problem doing that is it will end all off most of the act 1 game like saving the groove or siding with the goblins etc. you can still come back but some of the events will have changed
@@goblinondrums So, to do this trick, i first must do all the quests in Act 1? If it possible to do all quests, like normal campaign, and loot xp and armor?
@@danielrojas-db9nq look up helldusk armor act 1 and it should be a 4-5 minute video. I did it his way instead of this dude’s way (no disrespect to the creator) and it worked and this is after patch 7
@@solarluna3629 it just worked now, i had laezel with eldrick throw build hit Rafael but every time he stayed up with 0 hp because i think throwing weapons still kill even if non lethal option is active, so the last hit was a normal attack and it worked, i didn't even need the boxes around him because he doesn't try anything after silenced.

can confirm this is still working as of Sept. 15, 2024

it worked but at the cost of my companions and pets lives lol, everyone becomes hostile when casting silence
They don’t. It’s a bug. Have you ever returned to camp with minions / pets still out?
@@EdgeKisaragi how do you fix it?
@@killerwolf_0999 you don’t. In honour mode I ignore minions and Scratch etc
The cost of dealing with the devil
This method was harder tbh i just stacked boxes around him and started beating him to a pulp with Karlack

Doesn't work anymore, Raphael now has inevitable resolve wich makes him disappear if you try to control or downed him

@@Udzhijust fog cloud and no other stuff?
@@Udzhi is that only in honor mode? I used the weapon on Karachi while silencing him and it worked on tactician today
Idk I just did it on honour mode and it worked, just recast silence spell many times as the acid damage was superrrr slow
@@noahwilson81 Its worked if you hit him before he spawn in your camp, but if you don't he gonna disappear after you hit him to 0 hp

Note: I did it less then 5 min in tactician.
He just kept phasing through the tent for me and my buddy
you don't need the morning star btw, just turn on the passive non lethal attack
Tenacity does damage on miss. He has high ac
When I tried it only gave me XP, and Raphael disappeared
same here, but only on single player. in a multiplayer game he sticks around

Ehy why people in camp start a fight when i drop down the silence of Raph?
They don’t. It’s a bug. Have you ever returned to camp with minions / pets still out?
Silence doesn’t work anymore. It aggros everyone in camp now
No it doesn't? I'm doing the stuff in the video as I'm writing this you're a liar
@@mattgarofalo9691If you play an oath breaker it does aggro everyone
I've seen this issue with Oathbreaker. It's really annoying.
9/15/24 no longer works
Does it even work if I talked to Raphael in his mansion already?
Why i cannot spawn raphael on my camp after attacking him ?

Yes. I did everything in act 1 before entering mountain pass and then he appears @@ShambalaWorld
@@DMoneys36 Thank you! :)
@SUPERMavicyes sir I did it from a fresh game start, be-lined for the mountain pass and went to camp to do this.
I got him to zero but he never falls down ? Any tips
Gotta put non lethal on before you get him down to 1
@@solarluna3629 i did and still he doesn't go down, he just stays up with 0 hp
