A Guide to Unlocking Every Archetype in Metaphor Refantazio
Metaphor ReFantazio has around 46 Archetypes (basically classes) to fit all kinds of playstyles. Want to blast enemies with magic? Be a Mage. Prefer sneaky attacks? Go for the Assassin type. Like smashing stuff? There’s a Berserker archetype for that. So, basically they let you customize your characters however you like, so you can create the perfect team for your adventure.
What Are Archetypes?
Archetypes are like jobs in an RPG, they decide what skills and abilities your characters can use. You’ll start with a few simple ones like Warrior or Knight, but as you level up and build relationships with your party members, you’ll unlock cooler and more advanced Archetypes, like Samurai, Paladin, or a heck of a lot more.
Now, you’d be wondering how? Well, for that, you’ll need to progress through the story, level up certain base Archetypes, and also raise bond levels with specific characters. I’ve made a complete list of every archetype in the game, and how you can unlock it or buy it.
