Raphael's fight in the House of Hope with the best song! Yurgir chooses us and we fight to save Hope

[@jscrackwood]

Raphaël is so in love with himself that he sings in his own boss fight song

[@VievPlaysGames]

And it’s sooooo goooood

[@Arthillis]

With how raphael does his contract with yugir as a type of poem and also how hes flamboyant and likes to put on a show whenever he meets your character in game he comes across a bard. Though without the bard skills in combat. Then there is how he talks in rhymes at times. Hes probably a bard.

[@peregrine5327]

Not even, like, figuratively. He is LITERALLY singing his own boss fight music as you fight him. If you cast silence on him, the lyrics stop.

[@GalacticEmperorBatman]

Hell yeah! I was surprised to hear Raphael singing his own song! When I heard him singing, I was like "What in the Disney Villain is this?! He's singing his own song!" I love it!

[@VievPlaysGames]

Sooooo damn good!!!!

[@xDeadlyWarriorX]

It felt like I was playing a disney villain t.t So good.

[@someperson4249]

I'm so glad this is the universal response, I've intentionally avoided spoilers until my recent playthrough, and this was my EXACT response lmao "oh, some new boss music, with lyrics, nice! gonna stop and listen for a moment. WHAT IN THE DISNEY VILLAN BULL- THIS MAN''S SINGING HIS OWN MUSIC" he's literally an evil bard lmao sings his own music, actually uses some team buff bard powers only thing he's missing is a hired warlock to spam black tentacles under you while HE spams irresistible dance

[@vinceA3748]

That's one reason why the game is freaking amazing.

[@atlas3]

God, that song still gives me goosebumps, it's ridiculously good!

[@VievPlaysGames]

I can’t believe HOW good this song is!!

[@ethanemerson4862]

Raphael is a Disney villain and no one can change my mind!

[@VievPlaysGames]

Why would anyone want to? 😂 these are facts! 🥰

[@yourfriend900]

That moment when half a team dead from Rafael's spell at the same time singing: “No more tears, it's over!” - was amazing

[@VievPlaysGames]

Oooh wait I have to find that back! Which moment exactly do you have the time??

[@VievPlaysGames]

Aaawh thank you!!

[@SoCHobbit]

Ive never seen Yurgir volunteer to join you, only be pursuaded.

[@VievPlaysGames]

That’s cool to hear!! I tried to help him earlier in the game :)

[@DCdabest]

He joins if you help him in the Sharran gauntlet. He also tells you about Helsik and how to break in.

[@nurgleschosen8145]

​@@DCdabestYou piss off astarion tho if I remember right

[@DCdabest]

@nurgleschosen8145 Only if he knows about it. He wasn't in the party when I met Raphael out front or when I met Yurgir so it never triggered his meltdown.

[@matthoelker3782]

I'm so excited to see someone else so shell shocked at the music. This was an amazing fight. Hopes conversation after was just a cherry on top. 😊

[@VievPlaysGames]

It was soooooo incredible!!! Loved the music so much. I rewatched this video to edit and I must admit I even love how expressive my own response is haha

[@kaleb1993]

As soon as I heard the music I realized I was under leveled lmao

[@VievPlaysGames]

How many tries did it take you?

[@TheNeilBlack]

Same here. And I was level 12.

[@jacobszczepaniak3202]

I’ve listened to it at least 100 times the chorus still gives me chills

[@VievPlaysGames]

Right? It is so so good

[@DCdabest]

"It was so great to see them open up to each other, literally.... but also emotionally" The delivery on that line haha 😂😂

[@VievPlaysGames]

This song has so many layers!

[@DCdabest]

@@VievPlaysGames More layers than a green, swamp-dwelling ogre.

[@robertfishburn8545]

House of Hope was the single greatest dungeon in gaming for me, the whole experience had me 100% locked in, trying to successfully steal everything not nailed down, rescuing Hope, navigating a hellish maze, and finally an amazing end boss fight. 💋👌 Magnifique.

[@VievPlaysGames]

And don’t forget almost ending the game by sharing the bed with someone 😂

[@Isosyth]

The House of Hope was the only time my paladin lost confidence, just for a moment.

[@robertfishburn8545]

@@VievPlaysGames Funny enough, over the course of 4 playthroughs, I never once interacted with him. I always just sneak in, steal the password and bounce

[@Myzelfa]

Raphael is far from the most dangerous villain in the game (unless you make a lot of really stupid decisions), but he is the most satisfying to squash.

[@VievPlaysGames]

THAT!

[@ManubibiWalsh]

I think we all agree this is the best villain song in media in a LONG time. Like at least since Frollo dropped Hellfire.

[@VievPlaysGames]

So so so goooood

[@holyrod2001]

I feel bad saying this, but I loved that when it started to look like a party wipe that it timed well with the song saying this was going to be your tomb.

[@VievPlaysGames]

Hahaha Well noticed!!! 😂

[@MaxPower-v9z]

" He's Gale.. you need someone in your party to be constantly dead"🤣🤣💀

[@VievPlaysGames]

😂😂

[@tonywest6682]

There is a reason Gale ascends to godhood, he's that good.

[@Donderu]

Fun fact I haven’t seen mentioned: if you cast silence on Raphael, his singing part doesn’t happen, meaning he’s supposed to actually be singing while you’re fighting

[@VievPlaysGames]

Sounds like him, having the epic fight and he just singing to annoy his enemy even more

[@lordcaedus8713]

I remember my first fight with Raphael of the 5 full playthroughs I’ve done. You get the woman singing and then the pipe organ hits… I had to get up from my pc to physically calm myself down. It was a real “this is it” moment. Almost brought me, a 29 year old man to tears.

[@VievPlaysGames]

Thank you for sharing Lord Caedus, this was it for sure! You are beautiful!

[@SmartK8]

I was blown away by this. Remember this is multiple levels of optional.

[@OG21020]

It's so good that I was caught in between; listening to it or doing the fight. 😄😄 Went for both and I felt I was fighting for the souls of the party and all those with them.

[@VievPlaysGames]

One of the best game songs ever!!

[@berkaytankus294]

I've never cried of happiness in a game in my life.That fight was awesome

[@VievPlaysGames]

It is so so so good!

[@Arthillis]

I'm not entirely sure but I think the female voice singing the song in the house of hope is the voice actor for hope. So in a way its a duet between Raphael and Hope. Just like what youd expect in a musical where 2 main actors are singing while in opposition of eachother. It kind of fits hopes character since all through the quest freeing her shes constantly saying that they are doomed.

[@VievPlaysGames]

I am not sure but I also hoped it was Hope being the female voice!

[@marcuss.abildskov7175]

It is

[@scorpiowitch]

Sorry., but the female voice is Hopes sister.

[@Lord-Farquaad]

I don't think it is unfortunately.

[@Samurai_Stoner]

It's Korilla her sister

[@chnadlergw2904]

I love everything about this fight and then you realize how easily he can wipe your party and then it REALLY ramps up the emotions😂

[@VievPlaysGames]

Omg it took me uhmmm five or six tries? Idk

[@mojorisin069]

just finished this part in the game and my sole goal was "KEEP HOPE alive!" cuz she instantly became one of my favorite characters. especially with the little speech at the end about 'hope' i willl have to check out ur streams at some point.

[@mojorisin069]

oh and of course Raphael's Final Act theme is so dang good.

[@VievPlaysGames]

Saaame!! I had to keep Hope alive, she was so sweet. Losing her is so sad

[@vinceA3748]

I loved this fight. All the dialogue and music were great. This a very difficult battle if you aren't ready. At level 12, with the right spells, it's much easier. Also, having Shadowheart as a Monk, really helps. She is a beast when set up the right way. This game is a MASTERPIECE!

[@tyberiousTem]

Raphael is definitely self centered enough to sing his own boss music💀

[@jorenboulanger4347]

I want this song on my funeral!!!

[@VievPlaysGames]

This song definitely is special!

[@Casey093]

Player: We might stand a chance. Raphael: Hold my beer and listen.

[@VievPlaysGames]

Sooooooo goooood

Probably my favorite fight and soundtrack in this game.

[@VievPlaysGames]

I was so so happily surprised by the song!!

[@someinternetguy1065]

Looked up to find the song a few days after doing the same fight, it genuinely shocked me how good this song is - it was such a shock hearing a soundtrack in this game with lyrics (as opposed to outright background music). A friend is now playing through the game on my computer, can't wait until he first reacts to it. The song is so good

[@VievPlaysGames]

First fight I was so distracted by the music I couldn’t focus 😂😂😂 it was fantastic! I lost 3 times on tactician and finally got em after 4th try 😂

Challenging raphael in his home is one thing. Doing so without counterspell on your wizard is another.

[@VievPlaysGames]

😂

[@y_pator]

Very charming reaction to the song and the stream itself :3 Have the same opinion in respect of Laezel. She has so transparent and cool character development arc.

[@VievPlaysGames]

It is soooo cool how she questions how she is raised and who she is! And the song is just absolutely stunning

[@darkguardian50]

woah I have seen probably 20 playthroughs of this and I have never seen that string of dialogue with Yurgir. Normally he says your skulls would make excellent trophies but you have the option to attempt to persuade him to join you. Its a high DC (30) but if you succeed he does join you and says that you are honorable and helped him so he chooses you. But whatever you did he just flat out joins you, no persuasion needed. I love this game.

[@VievPlaysGames]
