Should I revert my game after killing

Spoilers for Act 3

Raphael in Sharess’ Caress in Wyrm’s Crossing

? I was able to throw them off the balcony with several shoves, dealing ~1100 damage (and only granting 65 XP).

Because the game keeps teleporting you out and never technically entered combat, I’m guessing they weren’t supposed to be killed here. Some quick google searches suggest they’re supposed to appear later on too - will this break my game at all or is it safe to continue with this save file?

    Finished the game yesterday and I don’t think this will brick everything, although some Raphael specific stuff could be easier / bricked / kinda funny. I just hope you got the loot off of him.

    Please let us now, how this plays out.

    spoiler main story

    He’s not a central character to the story, but he has an item that can be change the main story significantly. Afaik there are two ways to get it, the one where you fuck him over should still be possible.

    the character's death according to DnD lore

    Raphael is a devil, so he is not from the material plane, but from the nine hells. In DnD, if you kill a devil in any plane other than the nine hells, they just kinda reappear in their home plane. This mechanic is actually being leveraged by larian for another quest in act 2.

    So if he reappears, technicially it wouldn’t be wrong. However I’m really curious if he’s gonna acknowledge this. The next time I saw him after Wyrms Crossing, he kinda wanted to kill me anyways…

      Finally figured out how it works out! He still appears and can be interacted with, but just shows as 0 HP the whole time. Attacking him again (killing him instantly) causes a game over, at least from the Astral Plane

        Wait, he shows up in the astral plane? I didn’t know that, I just broke into his home and had to kill him when fleeing
