How To Enter The House Of Hope
The House of Hope has several ways you can enter.You can either sell your soul to Raphael and have him tell you about the place, or you can pretend you will sign his contract and then deny it after he tells you of the area.If you sell your soul, Gale and/orKarlachwill beg you to enter into the House of Hope and destroy your contract. If you reject his offer,Galewill beg you to enter into the House of Hope and Steal Orpheus’s Hammer that is tucked away inside the area. Either way, you will need to talk to Raphael.Once he speaks to you about the House of Hope, he will mention a diabolist named Helsik.

You can then head into Baldur’s Gate and go looking for Helsik. While in her shop, your party members can do Arcane Checks to check out some of the authentic pieces Helsik has from the Hells. Once you speak to her, she says she can get you there for a fee.For 10,000 Gold she will help you. However, if you pass a Persuasion Check, you can get her down to 1,000 Gold.

She will give you everything you need and give you step-by-step instructions. All you need to do is head upstairs and follow the ritual.
