In this guide, you will learn where the House of Hope is and how to enter it while playing Baldur’s Gate 3.
Located in Avernus, this estate is home to Raphael, a cambion who captured the soul of a woman named Hope and subjugated her to endless torture.
House of Hope and Portal Location
The House of Hope contains numerous powerful and valuable items, but you must perform a ritual to enter it. To retrieve the materials necessary for the ritual, investigate the second floor of the Devil’s Fee.
Visit Helski’s shop to acquire the components needed for the ritual. You can either purchase them for extremely high prices (up to 20,000 gold for a full set), negotiate the price down, or steal your money back.
You can also simply go to the second floor and lockpick all the chests containing each of the necessary spell components, but it will require high lockpicking skills to do so.
However, the best method to get the components is to go to the second floor and locate the chest with the Infernal Marble (the most valuable component), then take it to Helski to trade for the rest of the components.
How to Open the House of Hope Portal
After acquiring the five ritual ingredients, which include:
- Coin of Mammon
- Diamond
- Incense
- Infernal Marble
- Skull
Simply return the items to Helski for instructions on how to perform the ritual that opens a portal to the House of Hope. Below is the correct order.
- Place the Skull at the point of the star, next to the arrow.
- Move clockwise, placing the Coin of Mammon to the right of the skull.
- Put the Diamond in the next space after moving forward one space clockwise.
- Place the Incense in the next spot as you move clockwise.
- Lastly, put the Infernal Marble at the center of the star.
Make sure the alter is at the top of the screen, with the door on the opposite side n the bottom. The ingredients light up as they are placed correctly. Once all five are in place, the portal to the House of Hope will finally open.
