Boudoir

The Boudoir is the home of Raphael's personal Incubus, Haarlep, and the player is sent here to gain information from Haarlep about the Orphic Hammer.

This is where Raphael has some of his prized possessions on display and is where the Orphic Hammer is located. The Orphic Hammer is not the greatest two-handed weapon in Baldur’s Gate 3, and primarily serves as a plot device for Lae’zel’s quest, but there is some worthwhile loot here. Players must sneak and steal the loot in this area and make sure they aren't caught by the Archivist, otherwise they'll have to fight their way through the rest of the House of Hope if they fail the skill checks.
