How to Unlock Every Archetype in Metaphor: ReFantazio

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that this game is a treasure trove for strategy enthusiasts like myself. The Royal Archetypes are undoubtedly the cream of the crop when it comes to character power. Having personally witnessed the might of these characters in action, let me tell you, they are nothing short of awe-inspiring!


One distinctive feature setting Metaphor: ReFantazio apart from other JRPGs is its unique Archetype system. This system operates similarly to jobs or classes in other games, yet it interacts more harmoniously with the characters and the narrative’s context. Each Archetype has a distinct appearance, and mastering each one grants access to exclusive skills.

During your journeys, you’ll amass a growing number of companions and various character types, known as Archetypes. As you progress and meet specific conditions, new ones will join your roster, existing ones will become stronger through upgraded forms, and if you aim for maximum readiness, each team member can learn every Archetype, ensuring you’re fully equipped to tackle any challenges ahead. If mastering all the game’s Archetypes is your goal, this guide was made just for you.

Understanding Archetypes in Metaphor: ReFantazio

After you’ve uncovered an Archetype within “Metaphor: ReFantazio”, engaging in fights and completing specific missions can grant you the needed experience to elevate its level.

The main character possesses the greatest ability to fully exploit this system, and it’s through combining and coordinating their abilities that gamers could theoretically construct overpowered teams capable of swiftly defeating foes with minimal actions.
