Before entering the Archives, {{CharLink|Hope}} warns the party about the Archivist. She says the party must exploit his weakness to get by. She says he fears authority figures, like [[Verillius Receptor]], a High Inquisitor of [[Zariel]] who has official permission to audit Raphael's collection. Verillius' true form is so ghastly and mind-scarring that she takes on guises when she comes to visit. The party can exploit this by pretending to be that guise. If Hope fails to get out the name, then a successful use of {{SAI|Detect Thoughts}} (DC 10) can be used on the Archivist to reveal the name as well. | Before entering the Archives, {{CharLink|Hope}} warns the party about the Archivist.

{{CharLink|Karlach}} can also introduce herself, saying she's acting as Zariel's High Inquisitor, for a similar effect without needing a check. | |||
Once inside, the party needs to pass a Deception check (DC 15) to get the Archivist to fully believe in the ruse. Unfortunately, the Archivist cannot give access to the {{SmRarityItem|Orphic Hammer}} / {{SmRarityItem|Soul-Sworn Contract|override_icon=Soul-Sworn Contract.png|override_rarity=1}}, as it is surrounded by an impervious sphere. The sphere requires a magic code that only Raphael has. Instead, he refers the party to wait in the Boudoir until Raphael has returned. The Archivist can also relinquish the pass to the Boudoir by being intimidated (DC 25), or simply by pickpocketing him. | Once inside, the party needs to pass a Deception check (DC 15) to get the Archivist to fully believe in the ruse.

Attacking the Archivist, even if killing / knocking him on a single strike and far from any witnesses, will instantly break the {{SmRarityItem|Debtor's Attire}} and raise the alarm. | Attacking the Archivist, even if killing / knocking him on a single strike and far from any witnesses, will instantly break the {{SmRarityItem|Debtor's Attire}} and raise the alarm. | ||
