Metaphor: ReFantazio - New Game Plus Explained

As a seasoned gamer who has seen countless sunsets and fought through countless battles, I can confidently say that the New Game Plus mode in Metaphor: ReFantazio is a breath of fresh air for those who crave more from their gaming experience. After having completed my first playthrough, I was initially hesitant about diving back into the world of Akademeia, but the tantalizing prospect of facing off against the elusive “Redscale Apocalypse Dragon” and the challenge of Regicide mode had me hooked.

Once you’ve completed the game in Metaphor: ReFantazio, players have the option to begin another adventure using the New Game Plus feature. Even though there are numerous elements within the game that require your focus before facing the ultimate boss, you can easily wrap up that playthrough and jump right into the New Game Plus mode to uncover all the fresh content it provides.

Could you possibly still have doubts about whether there’s enough fresh content for another playthrough of Metaphor: ReFantazio – is it worth replaying at this point? To clear up any uncertainty, this guide will walk you through the details of the New Game Plus mode in the game.

What’s New In Metaphor: ReFantazio’s New Game Plus

To make the New Game+ mode appealing, it should provide players with fresh, valuable experiences that justify spending an additional 80+ hours on the game.

Beginning a fresh playthrough of Metaphor: ReFantazio as New Game Plus will grant access to the challenging mode, titled Regicide. This is the toughest level within the game, designed exclusively for those veteran players who have honed their battle skills extensively.

Regicide mode is difficult in two different ways:

  • The enemies take more damage and do more damage to players.
  • The damage output of the player is reduced against enemies.

Players will encounter an additional challenge – a hidden ultra-tough opponent named “Redscale Apocalypse Dragon.” This formidable foe is exclusive to the New Game Plus mode, and can be accessed by engaging with a book in Akademeia known as “The Book of Apocalypse.

It’s advisable not to assume you can defeat the dragon boss right at the beginning of the game. Instead, it serves as an obstacle for players to gradually conquer during their gaming journey when they feel adequately prepared.
