Metaphor ReFantazio: How To Unlock Royal Embodiments

3 days ago 6

Metaphor: ReFantazio

Each Archetype wielded by your party members in Metaphor: ReFantazio can evolve into Royal Embodiments, the true potential of their spirit unlocked. These are the strongest Archetypes in the game, representing your true understanding of your friends and allies. By deepening the bonds with your party, you can manifest Royal figures in battle who can withstand almost anything.

Royal Embodiments are stronger versions of a party member's Archetype class in Metaphor: ReFantazio. These are usually unlocked toward the endgame of your adventure, but each ally must meet certain requirements to gain their Archetype's Royal form. Every Royal Embodiment also costs MAG to get, so you might want to grind this resource during your playthrough to ensure everyone's Archetype can evolve.

How To Get Every Royal Embodiment

Raise Follower Bonds To Their Max

The only shared requirement between every party member is that you have maxed out your bond with them first. Maxing out follower bonds in Metaphor: ReFantazio takes time on your calendar to plan, as you have to complete Favour side quests for different characters. As various days pass, you'll have to make time for various members of your party as missions tied to their bonds unlock as you progress through the story.

Follower Bonds are similar to Social Links from the Persona series, with each character having "Rank Up Events" that take place to earn you MAG and deepen your relationships with party members.

There are seven Royal Embodiments total for the core members of your party. It costs 30,000 MAG to get every Royal Archetype, making the process very expensive and one that may take time to finish. To unlock every Embodiment for your strongest party combos in Metaphor: ReFantazio, you need to fulfill these requirements:
