You can't. He will tell you to try other options until you running out of ideas, and only then he will offer you the deal.Raphael's story line must have gone through some serious change as well.
In act 1 he offers you a cure, but in act 3 he just gives you a hammer, which itself is completely useless. Unless you are playing as a gith, otherwise there is literally no reason for you to take the deal.
If that's the best effort from a high level devil hell would be wiped out by the demons years ago.But I agree that it comes out of nowhere. What happens if you ''take his deal'' in act 1 actually?There is more reasons to take the deal, if you have lae'zel in your party for example. At that point you basically know that Orpheus is responsible for whatever is preventing you to be MC'd by the brain, and the emperor is simply there preventing his gith friends from freeing him. Emperor tells you he'll murder you if you free him but there is a lot of reasons to mistrust him at this point. He's just as dependant on orpheus' power at this point because it is hinted that he is also allowed to maintain his autonomy due to Orpheus. Being the one to free him and maybe gain his cooperation sounds more appealing to me than letting Mc'squidface command me around. Later on there is a scene with the emperor where he threatens to MC you if you don't behave (and reveals that his whole ''relationship'' with stelmane was just her being enthralled).
Which makes even less sense considering his deal is giving you a hammer. Again there is nothing we can do with the hammer, we can't even get into the artifact unless emperor allows us, let alone using the hammer. It's like giving someone who is starving a set of kitchware so when you have food you can cook them.
