If you want to do and see everything Metaphor: ReFantazio has to offer then following the achievements is a good way to do it, as it covers just about everything the game has in store. From the simplest story tasks to the toughest superbosses, you’ll have to take down every challenge in Metaphor to get the platinum trophy/maximum gamerscore.
We’ll explain how to get every achievement in the game and highlight which ones are missable so you don’t make any mistakes on your quest for 100% completion.
Defeated Destroyer Charadrius, wielder of true power.
This achievement is locked behind defeating Metaphor: ReFantazio’s secret final boss. The Destroyer Charradrius is a more powerful version of the game’s final boss, and to face it you’ll need to skip some of the minibosses in the final dungeon. For full details, check out our guide at the link above.
Defeat the redscale dragon from the Book of Apocalypse.
This is the secret superboss that is only available in New Game+ mode. See our guide on how to open the Book of Apocalypse in Metaphor to find out what you need to do. This is the only achievement that requires a second playthrough though, all others can be got in one.
Mastered all Archetypes with the protagonist.
For this, you need to make sure you’ve got Rank 8 with every follower in the game by 10/26 so you can unlock every Archetype (use our Metaphor follower conversation answers guide if you need help with that) then you can use the final dungeon on 10/26 to quickly grind each one to Rank 20.
Created all summoning vessels and masks.
This one isn’t too difficult but it can be quite random, as you’re relying on random drops from enemies to gather mask parts and talismans. We have a guide on how to get Masked Dancer mask parts if you need more detailed information.
Make all recipes.
This one is pretty straightforward but easy to miss if you aren’t paying attention. Every time a new party member joins you on your adventure, new recipes will be added to the list, for a total of 20. However, there is a 21st recipe that only unlocks once you’ve made all of the others, which can catch people out if they don’t notice it.
Completed all quests
This includes all main quests, all side quests, all follower quests, and bounties. Be sure to check everywhere as there are a few that are easy to miss, like those that require entering the Colosseum in Brilehaven.
Win debates against all candidates.
This sounds simple, but each candidate is only available on specific dates. Go to the podium in whichever town the story is currently taking place in – where you can train your Eloquence – and you’ll find each candidate on these dates:
You’ll need to pick the right answer to the win the debate, so save beforehand in case you pick wrong.
Helped cook a meal at the inn with Maria.
This achievement isn’t that difficult, but it has a bunch of ways it can go wrong. To get it you must reach Rank 8 with Maria before October. Once you’ve done this, the next time you go to cook with Fabienne in the inn, Maria will join you, however, this activity will stop being available in October, which is why it must be done before then.
Finish reading all books.
This refers to the books available on the Gauntlet Runner while traveling that raise your Royal Virtues. There are seven of them to unlock. The first six unlock whenever a new party member joins your adventure, but the seventh is better hidden. Instead, you must find and talk to Julian at Angler’s Inn Square where he’ll give you the last book. Each one take three sessions to finish, so make sure you leave yourself enough time to do them all.
The rest of these are all either unmissable due to story reasons, or you can go back and do them at the very end of the game provided you’ve left yourself enough time.
