How To Unlock Wary Shopkeep In Metaphor: ReFantazio

1 day ago 2

There are plenty of mysteries to unlock in Metaphor: ReFantazio, from beating powerful bosses to accessing secret merchants and unlocking the Wart Shopkeep is no exception. Once you get to Port Brilehaven, you'll notice that the shopkeeper will only sell you medicinal herbs. Annoyingly, there are no hints at that moment as to how to unlock his full stock, but there is one key NPC you need to go to first in order to do so.

Like when trying to pick the best rank for the Gambling Man, properly unlocking the Wary Shopkeep as a merchant can be a frustrating puzzle for the unknowing. However, it quickly becomes an easy effort once you know what to do. Doing so will be more than worth the effort since you'll be able to obtain a variety of helpful items and ingredients.

How To Unlock The Wary Shopkeep

To unlock the full inventory of the Wary Shopkeep in Metaphor: ReFantazio, you need to talk to the Talkative Mustari NPC at the Golden Deer Hearth on Virga Island. From this Mustari, Spherano the Informant, you must buy the piece of information called Secret of the Eugief's Stall for 1000 Reeves. The Mustari will reveal that he used to live outside the island, so he knows how to get the shopkeeper to sell you more than the standard Medicinal Herbs.

Metaphor: ReFantazio - How To Pass Test Of Courage

Completing Metaphor: ReFantazio's Test of Courage will require a high rank in this Royal Virtue, but the rewards far outweigh the risks.

He says that as long as you go back and refer to a mutual acquaintance, Alonzo, you will get him to sell more of his wares. Return to the Wary Shopkeep with your new information, and Gallica will do that on your behalf. The Wary Shopkeep will then happily open up more of his stock to you. It's even easier than finding Fragrant Spice, a special cooking ingredient in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

The Wary Shopkeep can be found at any time, so he won't miss you if you forget to visit him during the day.

Masks & Cooking Ingredients

After unlocking him as a fully-fledged merchant, the Wary Shopkeep will sell you his specialty, which you can get from monsters called white masks. Another unique quality about this merchant, though, is that on Idlesday, he'll sell an unusual cooking ingredient from monsters. If you want to properly expand your culinary abilities when using the Metaphor: ReFantazio cooking guide, this is the main one.

For 25000 Reeves each from his default inventory, you can buy the following:

Devil White Mask
Tower White Mask
Star White Mask
Moon White Mask
Sun White Mask
Judgement White Mask

The only catch is that you're limited to buying one of each item per day, but you can always come back the next day to stock up. Just remember to talk to the Talktative Mustari at the Golden Deer Hearth, and the inventory of the Wary Shopkeep in Metaphor: ReFantazio can be yours.
