36 Baldur's Gate 3 Original Soundtrack - Raphael's Final Act 

Raphael was a true villan, not because he’s a manipulative devil, but because he’s a theatre nerd

You know its a tough fight when you start looking through scrolls.

Of course Raphael would not miss the opportunity to sing his OWN boss theme.

I would like to congratulate Larian Studios for giving us a new old-school Disney villain

Raphael is exactly the type of self absorbed character to sing his own boss music.

I was smiling so hard when I realized Raphael was singing in his own boss fight theme. What an epic conclusion to his storyline

The bitter, spiteful way he says "True souls that couldn't be bought!" is so fitting for a devil. He's so pissed that he couldn't goad you into serving him.

Bg3 has better Disney villain song than the current Disney movie.

When Raphael started singing like a Disney villain, I lost the last drops of sanity I had

When Raphael started singing like a Disney villain I turned away from my computer and stared into the abyss for a bit, I could not BELIEVE it Loved it

Raphael absolutely could have been the primary antagonist of his own game.

The fact that this whole section of the game is OPTIONAL blows my mind. I absolutely loved the game at this point already, but the House of Hope blew me away. When Raphael showed up I doubted my decisions. It felt like a boss battle you were meant to lose, so it felt epic when the music kicked in, actually being able to beat him in the end.

I think this is the first time I've truly felt what "when the boss music kicks in" should actually feel like.

- Reach Raphael's Final battle - Hear this song - Cast Otto's irresistible dance - Watch Raphael Dance to his last song for the rest of the battle I love this game so much.

WE MAKIN IT OUT OF AVERNUS WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

I love how his squad pulls up. Yurgir showing up arms extended like "Yo, whats up?"

Raphael’s voice actor went all in and it paid off. Every scene he is in he steals the show 10/10 performance🙏

The Absolute: There's only room for one supervillain in this game! Raphael: Oh you're a villain alright, just not a super one! The Absolute: Oh yeah? What's the difference? Raphael: PRESENTATION!!!!

Voice acting in this game sets a new benchmark in gaming history. This isn't even prime Bioware, this is even more than that, somehow. I didn't think it was possible. And from all of the _phenomenal_ voice acting, Raphael's voice actor, Andrew Wincott absolutely hit it out of the park.

If you use the spell silence on Raphael, his lines are silent. This game is a masterpiece

- Find out from the incubus Raphael is bad in bed - Insult Raphael - This music kicks in - All party dies in two rounds Perfect game

"Am I a friend? Potentially. An adversary? Conceivably. But a savior? That’s for certain."

You'll all notice in your next playthtough the first time he summons you to the house of hope this plays instrumentally in the background. What a fucking banger.

The best part about this boss fight was that he's literally laying down a diss track while you fight him

There's only one thing better than listening to Raphael sing his own theme music: Hitting him with Otto's Irresistible Dance so he turns it into a full-on Disney musical number.

I'd like to imagine that Raphael wrote this song ages ago and was lowkey pumped to finally play it

Everything about this is fucking fantastic. The build-up of Raphael from Act One to his conclusion here in Act Three. I love how the vocals at the beginning establish an uncanny sense of dread - a reminder that you are fighting a FUCKING DEVIL in his own house! Which is then followed by Raphael's narcissistic Disney-villain-esque singing. Everything was so masterfully done, so expertly and carefully crafted, and I'm so proud of Larian for what they accomplished here as a huge fan since Divinity Original Sin 2. You guys fucking rock. :O

Something people haven’t mentioned as much is the fantastic instrumentation. Orchestra and organ is one of my favorite underused combinations.

I chuckled when I saw that Raphael had 666 hp. Nice one, Larian.

I want this to be performed live at this year's Game Awards!

When this music started playing I couldn't stop myself from laughing but I quickly came to the realization that I was suddenly no longer the main character of the story-but merely a bit player in _Raphael: The Musical._

This had a better Disney villain song than Disney’s 100 year anniversary film did this year.

Whoever wrote Raphael's character and voiced it definitely needs a raise. This is how you create a evil character that is actually loved by the players. Pure charisma.

It seams Raphael's is getting his Disney villen song. And i love it.

This scene was the most epic thing I witnessed in gaming history. I literally just sat there with goosebumps for 3 minutes.

"i regret every decision that lead me to this point" the music.

To whoever decided to add words and turn this scene into a musical: GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL MAN, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! This song is incredible

Shoutout to legendary Bulgarian composer Borislav Slavov. He did not have to go so hard, but he did.

I love that he sticks to his dumb little cat analogy, what a ridiculous drama queen, i love him

Deserved award for Andrew with this performance alone

bro i DID NOT need raphael spittin bars at me while wiping out my entire party. This was such a tense fight 10/10

I like how this allows us to interpret this as Raphael actually singing during the battle with us like the grandstanding drama queen he is.

Thought he could arrange all the chess pieces into place, let the game play out until everyone was in the positions he needed us to be. Thought he had the perfect checkmate set up, with no other way to get what we needed other then from him. He just didn't expect the one move we were still capable of making; Flipping the goddamn board into his face.

You know you’re doomed when the villain you’re facing is singing his own theme song during the fight!!

Just finished this fight and holy shit the second this song hit when the combat sequence started i had goosebumps. Such an awesome leadup to that fight.

Raphael turning his evil monologue into a full blown musical in his House of Hope mansion would be hellishly sublime! 😈

The 666 Health was a great touch

Fighted Raphael just yesterday and as soon as this theme played I felt like "holy crap I'm done for". Truly chilled down my spine.

Shout out to the female vocal. She's fantastic!

This solidified Raphael as probably my favorite antagonist from BG3. The fact this man is so self absorbed that he not only has his own theme song but that he SINGS his own theme music in his boss fight. He's the guy you love to hate and I was so glad to have chosen to fight him in my first run. Definitely one of my favorite fights when this music kicked in

Congratulations on your well deserved BAFTA award!!! I post here because, while your entire soundtrack was amazing, this track had such an impact upon me. It made me smile the widest grin and I simply couldn't do anything but listen. I have 5 playthroughs of BG3, completed honor mode, and every single time this song in this moment is what I always look forward to experiencing again and again. Truly this is a work of artistic passion, and the entire soundtrack deserves to be recognized. No, YOU deserve to be recognized because your work is such an integral part of a seminally profound gaming experience. Your work raised the bar for future composers no matter the medium.

Congrats on Bafta! Very much deserved! Hell! Hell! Hell has its laws!

It is so in-character for Raphael to sing his own theme song.

The moment you see Raphael with 666 hp oneshotting half of your party and his epic solo playing in the background. Holy shit dude, this is one the best boss fights ever.

Deserved winner!!!!

I can't believe I won in tactician difficulty. The House of Hope was a nightmare to navigate. Some fireball creatures chased and attacked me. Two giant monsters with eyes shot multiple paralysis spells at my party members. An army of explosive demons followed soon after, making the journey an emotional rollercoaster. I stood my ground with Yurgir and Hope amidst a swarm of devils in the finale against Raphael. I always believed I was skilled in the game, but this battle has humbled me. The music, ambience, and explosions created an intense atmosphere, and the divine intervention in the most critical moment left me in awe.

Fighting raphel as a Paladin was the most epic fight I’ve ever had especially when I’m wielding the giant slayer, the legendary sword of Balduran as I fought the literal devil with my holy powers, it’s never felt so epic in a video game before

I have never experienced this kind of epicness in a video game ever. Big shout out for the devs, brilliant composer and amazing vocals.

I just did this fight last night. I was FLOORED when the music started. When raphael started singing i just stopped playing all together and just stared at my screen. I could not believe it. Goosebumps. It was a narrow victory for my party. Thank the gods I saw that hope had divine intervention and was able to revive most of my party. This game is probably the best i have ever played.

This is unequivocally one of the most hard hitting pieces in the whole game. Once the fight started and this began to play, I stopped what I was doing and just took in the music. Such a haunting piece almost to remind you as the player that you are seriously outgunned and outmatched and this will be a fight for your life. I think I've played this like 20 times on repeat now...

I love how every time you encounter Raphael throughout the game you can hear this subtly playing in the background without the lyrics and then when you finally fight him it comes full circle and the whole epic song plays

Congratulations on the BAFTA Borislav! AMAZING OST!

I came prepared. Full hp, all spellslots, heroes' feast buff, two dewas summoned, backpack full of arrows of fiend slaying, many hold monster scrolls, saved Hope, slayed Ansur yesterday. And when this started playing I really felt like I made a grave mistake. What a masterpiece.

If this doesn't get Game of the Year, I will cry. Best game to come out in SOME time. Best RPG to come out in a very long time. I cannot stop playing it or listening to this song.

I never knew a CRPG boss fight would make me feel like I have front-row seats to one of the most breathtaking, cinematic and mastercrafted gaming moments in recent years.

This track was so good that when it started I literally just stopped playing and listened. And when Raphael started singing it was so excellent I couldn't stop smiling. Top drawer stuff. I commend everyone involved.

Congrats on BAFTA Boris!!! Finally! Well deserved I am so happy for you!

Lyrics: Lives, all mortal lives, expire Souls go to their dooms, in flame, forever more Hell, hell, hell has it's 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, forever more Fools, fools, how hard you have fought Brave, brave, but it's all been for naught True souls, that couldn't be bought Doomed, detected, and caught No more dеals, it's over The final act, your doom No more grace, it's over This House of Hope, your tomb

this is so in character and so amazing that larian went the extra mile to make raphael his own musical villain song, absolutely loved it. when it kicked in during the fight my jaw dropped

This is the best boss music I’ve ever heard in any game I’ve played. What a masterpiece

big talk for a devil in smiting distance of a hasted paladin with full slots and action surge

The lady’s voice at the beginning hooked me instantly. When the organ started, I began smiling like an idiot. But when Raphael’s voice kicked in, I immediately knew this was special. Probably my favorite moment in this game. Absolutely blew me away. This game needs every GOTY award available. ::shout out to TOTK, tho.::

Raphael did not need to go this hard on this track. But he did....for us

I'd love to see a prequel comic of Korrilla and Raphael learning that Tav and crew are on their way, as they start to warm up their vocals.

"True souls that couldnt be bought" i love how he gives us that credit because we earned it at this point lmao

The quality of the production is insane. The fact that they made such an amazing song for just this ONE encounter ? Amazing. It really made it feel like I was fighting a real battle for my soul.

This may very well be my favorite boss fight theme in any game yet.

When this music kicked in was probably my favorite part of the entire game. It gave me instant goosebumps and the grandeour of the setting really fell into place. I've reloaded it many times just to experience it again.

This made the game go from 10/10 to 11/10.

I was absolutely in AWE when this started playing. I had NO IDEA what I was in for and I was just SCREAMING when Raphael went full classic Disney villain. LOVED IT!!! MASTERPIECE!!!!

I started my second playthrough AND YOU CAN HEAR THE INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF THIS DURING YOUR FIRST MEETING WITH RAPHAEL!!! AHHH

Congratulations with BAFTA 🎉❤ Thank you for this amazing game and music from souls❤

I’m so so so happy for you! I cried at BAFTA. The soundtrack, man it’s insane! Congratulations!!!

Hearing this song for the first time in-game was such an epic experience. I wonder how many people got stopped in their tracks like me, mesmerized by the music. It cannot be overstated how awesome of a job you guys did creating this soundtrack. I feel like it took a game that was already 10/10 up to an 11/10.

I think so many of us older gamers are constantly chasing that feeling we had as kids where video games made us feel a deep thrumming of emotions and excitement. For me this boss fight did that for me for the first time in well over a decade. I put so much work into getting to the point and then being given a fight that was maniacally hard but winnable with enough strategy, and then accompanying it with this song… I sat up and smiled so much during the whole experience. I’ll never forget this moment in gaming ever.

Thank you, Larian, for making Raphael arguably the beat video game villain of all time. Mr. Slavov, thank you for creating such a masterpiece of a soundtrack.

hearing Raphael sing when fighting him was a moment in this game i will cherish forever

There have been two devil like characters that will always remain in my memory. One is Gaunter O’Dimm from the Witcher and the other is Raphael. Two extremely well written characters with kick ass music.

My experience with the game has been like: - wow this is so good - epic, truly epic moment - wait, this one is even more epic

"Doomed, Detected, and Caught" gives me goosebumps.

I'm just now getting close to completing my first BG3 playthrough. This song caught me off guard and I got goosebumps!

This song exemplifies attention to detail and exceeding all expectations. It is perfect on so many levels. Even the buildup as you approach the boss battle, a hint of the theme playing almost in the background as you get closer, and once you enter you get this song and hellfire to the face! An absolute masterpiece!

This was definitely a highlight in video gaming history.

I "stumbled" into the House of Hope a bit unprepared yesterday, but thought I might just collect some loot. Although Hope constantly warns you, I just thought naaaaahhh it'll work. You can even cheat your way through until the theft, but from then on it was one big escape. When I finally reached the portal with Hope with my last ounce of strength, the music started. At first I thought that crazy Hope was going to sing too... but... when I press the button on the portal, happy and relieved, HE appears! OMG what a moment. At first I was still hoping to talk my way out of it... Shock at the throw of 30... Desperately scrolling through the remaining scrolls while the devil himself celebrates your desperate situation with an epic orchestral song. The most awesome gaming moment.

How to be a great villian: Step 1: Have shakespherian inspirations Step 2: have elegant style Step 3: sing your own opera theme

Raphael is furious Summons a bunch of devils Can one shot party members And this song starts Literally gave me chills of “oh i fucked up” 😂 One of my favorite moments in gaming.

Just finished this fight, and all I can say is wow. The build up was already fantastic, but when the fight started and this music kicked in? Absolutely speechless. I couldn't help but completely stop to listen with my jaw wide open. Well done Larian and Borislav, this was a boss fight to remember!

My favorite videogame music related moment of ALL TIME. Raphael dropping bars

i can`t say anything that has already said, but for me, the moment Raphael start singing his own song was a incredible video-game moment as was when you have to switch controlllers on the psycho mantis encounter on MGS. One of 3 best moments of gaming in history, all the build up for Raphael, with his own trademark phrase "come the claws" reaching to that final moment, was absolutely chef kiss, like i said, truly only one or two moments in gaming make me feel like that. 10/10

A true narcissist to the end. Granted the final line of dialouge was the funniest in the game for me. I asked harlepp how raphael was in bed. Not long apparently. When Raphael asks if you have any last words. You can respond with "ill finish you twice as gast as harlepp. The sneer on his gave is priceless before he rages. Beautiful little line to get under his visage of perfection.
