Choosing Your Difficulty Level

As you step into the enchanting world of Metaphor: ReFantazio, you will need to choose a difficulty level that suits your combat prowess:
  • Easy: Perfect for those who want to enjoy the story without too much stress. Battles are straightforward with lower complexity. While enemy health remains standard, the damage inflicted by surrounding enemies is less. There is minimal penalty for not exploiting enemy weaknesses.
  • Normal: The standard difficulty offers a balanced challenge. Understanding the combat system and balancing strengths is key. Attacks deal appropriate damage, and the real thrill comes from strategic boss battles.
  • Hard: Brace yourself for intense and highly challenging battles. A deep understanding of the team and power systems is strongly recommended, and frequent saving is advised. Attacks deal greater damage, and knowing enemy weaknesses is crucial.
  • Nightmare: Not for the faint of heart, this difficulty is extremely tough but offers greater monetary and experience rewards. Mastery of the combat system is absolutely necessary.

Key Collectibles and Hidden Treasures

Golden Bugs Locations:

  1. Behind the counter at the recruitment office.
  2. At the campsite on the night the protagonist awakens.
  3. Inside a bag at the potion shop.
  4. Behind the stairs next to the armor shop.

Minotaur’s Labyrinth Treasure Chests:

  2. The second chest is in a room with a blue glimmer; turn around to find it.

Minotaur Boss Location:

The Minotaur is a challenging early-game boss found in a major side quest. To trigger the quest, head to Central Street and talk to Brigitta. Then, go to the magic shop in Central Street and find the dark-skinned elf shopkeeper. You need a perception level of 2 to take on the labyrinth exploration quest. The Minotaur is located in a hidden passage on the third floor of the Belrega Corridor.

Powerful Weapons and How to Obtain Them

Dragon’s Scale Greatsword:

This legendary weapon is a game-changer. Obtain it by defeating the sleeping dragon you sneak past in the prologue’s mine escape. If you struggle to defeat the dragon, purchase health potions and ice blocks from the merchant you encountered earlier, and equip your team with ice-based Architype configurations to exploit the dragon’s weakness.

Dragon Fury Greatsword:

This formidable weapon can be acquired early in the game. Head to the Nord Abandoned Mine – Crystal Cave, open the golden chest behind the fire dragon to get the Dragon’s Scale Greatsword, and purify it to obtain the Dragon Fury Greatsword.

Spear of the Thousand Ghosts:

Found in a hidden chest in the Minotaur side quest map. Open the chest to get the Piercing Hundred Ghosts Spear, then purify it at the church to obtain the Spear of the Thousand Ghosts.

Essential Items and Skills

Blue Potions:

These vital items can be obtained through purchase, collection, or crafting. Shops typically sell blue potions, and they can also be found by defeating enemies or exploring outdoor areas. Learning alchemy allows you to gather materials and craft your own blue potions.

Skill Inheritance:

Each “Architype” corresponds to a specific class, and different classes unlock new skills as they level up. Characters can inherit skills learned from other classes and apply them to their current class in battle. Each character has a supporter level that unlocks more skill inheritance slots as it increases. To raise supporter levels, complete specific tasks, side stories, or meet certain conditions through dialogues with characters. Maxing out a class to level 20 may unlock advanced classes and increase skill inheritance slots.

Controlling Teammates:

Initially, you cannot control teammates. After awakening and becoming the leader, you can command your team. After unlocking the monk class at the cathedral, it’s recommended to switch the protagonist to a monk, as their skills use health points with low consumption. Inherit the knight’s emergency healing skill to restore health with 2 blue points.

Metaphor: ReFantazio features four divergent endings, including three bad endings and one true ending:
  1. First Bad Ending: On September 26th, in the main story “Free the Prince from the Curse of Death,” choosing “The body is right here” ends the game abruptly. To pursue the true ending, select the option that triggers the “Prince” prototype.
