Metaphor ReFantazio: Where To Find The Fishmonger

3 days ago 2

The Fishmonger is a side quest in Metaphor: ReFantazio that is crucial for progressing Strohl's follower story. The quest requires you to track down a specific fishmonger in Grand Trad, which can be tricky if you don't know where to look. It is made even more complicated because you're required to have a certain level of Imagination for the story to progress, but you're not explicitly told that. This makes the quest pretty complicated.

Luckily, he's actually hidden in plain sight, and once you find him, he will tell you where the last person to talk to is. So, the important thing is that you don't need to do anything else besides find the last person. Once you can speak to the Fishmonger, the rest of the quest should be open. Once you're done, you'll get a new rank in your social bond for Strohl in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Where Is He Hiding?

In Metaphor: ReFantazio, finding the fishmonger for Strohl's A Noble's Legacy quest is important for unlocking his follower bond Rank 6. The fishmonger will be found near the Regalith Grand Cathedral section of Grand Trad. If you've spoken to him but had no luck, it's because there's a lesser-known prerequisite to it. You need to have Imagination at level 3 before he will speak to you and help you finish the quest. So it's best to read many books because they level up skills like Imagination, Eloquence, and Wisdom in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

He'll be next to a stall with lines above his head. Get anywhere close, and a cutscene will highlight him.

Once you have the right level, you'll find the fishmonger standing to the right of the water merchant. This is just south of the cathedral, and the giant stone faces. Look for a rag man dressed in orange. Once you have the proper Imagination level, Metaphor: ReFantazio will trigger a cutscene when approaching the fishmonger. Once you've spoken with the fishmonger, he'll direct you to another merchant in the same area. Go back to the giant stone faces to talk to the Capital Merchant. Once you're done, you can return to Strohl and progress his story.

What Does The Fishmonger Do in Metaphor: ReFantazio?

What's His Purpose?

The fishmonger is mainly there to lead you to the Capital Merchant in Metaphor: ReFantazio and to give you more details on Strohl's pat and lineage. He's essentially the only way you find the hidden truth about Strohl's inheritance. Learning this from him helps you rank up in Strohl's social bond, so it's essential for progressing Strohl's follower story. Once you get information, he will tell you a hint that leads you to a Capital Merchant, who ultimately reveals the location of Strohl's inheritance, as seen in PerfectParadox's video below.

This is one of those one-off characters that doesn't do much, which is why it's so hard to believe this is the one you need to speak to. The fishmonger isn't spoken to until you are on this part of the social bond with Strohl and have the required Imagination. However, once you know that this is the person you need to speak to, it becomes clear why he was placed in this area of Metaphor: ReFantazio, so far from the shore.
