One Baldur’s Gate 3 player has found the best way to get rid of a key villain without the need to fight, trick, or even talk to them – all you need to do is be extremely annoying.

One of the best elements of Baldur’s Gate 3 is the freedom of choice granted to players. Just like Dungeons & Dragons, Larian Studios has given its players a quest and let them work out the best way to solve it, be that violence, conversations, or in some cases, annoying the NPC into leaving.

Naturally, with so much versatility present in Baldur’s Gate 3, players are finding hilarious ways to complete quests, especially when it comes to an often unwanted guest that keeps appearing in your story.

Baldur’s Gate 3 players find the best way to get rid of Raphael

Posting onto Reddit, one user shared how they got rid of the Devil Raphael, the creature who offers to rid you of the Tadpole in exchange for your soul.

Explaining how they did it, they shared: “I just recently started Act 3 and met everyone’s favorite Devil in Sharess Caress. Since he stays friendly even when you attack him, I was testing some spells and weapons on him when he suddenly disappeared and a “Quest Completed” window appeared.”

After completing the quest, they checked their Journal and found that it said: “We made Raphael so angry that he has refused to continue to deal with us.” Prompting the deal to be off and Raphael to finally get out of the player’s hair.

The player followed up the image and the story with: “Turns out you can be so irritating that the Devil that has been following your party for weeks just gives up.”

It seems there are many more alternatives to Raphael’s questline than players think, and this one seems to be one of the easiest, and arguably the most enjoyable.
