Very important question *spoiler*

[nub]

So should I kill Gortesh first or Raphael first? Or does it not matter?

Or do I free Orpheus first?

Between Gortash or Raphael? Doesn't matter. Raphael isn't even a main story boss, but a side quest boss.

But if you meant Gortash or Orin? Also doesn't ultimately matter. Just, uh, don't try to kill the former during the big gathering when you first meet him unless you're feeling mighty confident.

To free Orpheus, you need something Raphael has ... the Orphic Hammer.

Now how you get it from Raphael ... well that is a key decision of the game, n'c'est pas?

I actually got the Orphic hammer after I agreed upon freeing Orpheus. Seems like other people get it a different way. I just got it right away.

Heavy spoiler warning! Don't fret about Orpheus.
You can't free him until you cross the 'point of no return' that leads to Endgame. Do as many other quests as you please, in whatever order.

Thanks for the tip.

Np. One other hint I can offer though, in regard to what order- Gortash or Raphael first?
Take the companion who knows that enemy best with you for extra dialogue or alternate solutions...
Examples; Karlach will get really pissed off if you don't let her fight/kill Gortash with you.
and Raphael involves some dubious moral choices during the quest, so choose appropriately.
("Good" aligned characters might not approve of some choices.)

It is not that difficult and the challenge is quite fun.

I agree with you, but it's the most difficult fight in the game by far, and most players really probably should steer clear on their first run.
