Metaphor: ReFantazio | How to unlock all Archetypes

Throughout your adventure with Metaphor: ReFantazio, you come across various Archetypes, which are essentially different classes for your characters. They grant you special stat boosts, and as you level them up, they also provide access to unique abilities to use in battle. In order to maximise your options, in battle, you’ll want to unlock every Archetype in the game. Here at God is a Geek, we’ve compiled a list of every Archetype in the game, and how to unlock it.

Read on to see how to unlock all the Archetypes in Metaphor: Refantazio.

Archetype Trees and Followers

In Metaphor: ReFantazio, you unlock different Archetype trees. Within that Archetype tree, there are then multiple different Archetypes to unlock, as your characters gains A EXP after each battle. There are anywhere between 2-4 Archetypes in any one tree.

Each Archetype Tree also belongs to a specific Follower of the main Protagonist. Building your relationship with that Follower is required to even unlock the Archetype Tree, and the base Archetype from it. Then as you build your bond further, you can unlock stronger variants along the tree, that you can use if you meet certain other requirements. We’ll detail these requirements now.
