Baldur’s Gate 3: How to Get the Orphic Hammer in BG3
After several long quests, players will need to find the Orphic Hammer in Baldur’s Gate 3 – and it requires diving into hell.
Baldur’s Gate 3 makes players descend into the pits of hell for the Orphic Hammer. After opening a gate to the House of Hope, it’s time to get this weapon to progress with Lae’zel’s The Githyanki Warrior companion quest, defeat scheming cambion Raphael, and hopefully, save the actual owner of the house – aptly named Hope. Still, the magical aura protecting the Orphic Hammer must be deactivated before doing that. This guide covers finding and getting the Orphic Hammer in Baldur’s Gate 3.
