Before entering the Archives, Hope appears once again to warn the party about the [[Archivist]]. She says the party must exploit his weakness to get by. Before she can fully explain, the party must pass an ability check to keep speaking quietly to her: | Before entering the Archives, Hope appears once again to warn the party about the [[Archivist]].

After passing the check, if asked how to deal with the Archivist, she says he fears authority figures. With a Persuasion check (DC 20), she says he particularly fears 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. | After passing the check, if asked how to deal with the Archivist, she says he fears authority figures.

Once inside, it is neccessary 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 Orphic Hammer, 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, it is neccessary to pass a Deception check (DC 15) to get the Archivist to fully believe in the ruse.
