Metaphor: ReFantazio's Party Members: A Detailed Guide to Recruitment Timing
Beyond the protagonist, seven companions will join your adventure in Metaphor: ReFantazio, each contributing unique combat skills. While Gallica is present from the start, her combat participation is limited initially.
Spoiler Warning: This guide reveals the recruitment dates for each party member, potentially spoiling some plot elements.
Each party member's Archetype unlocks independently, and once unlocked, becomes available to all party members. Some early recruits are initially AI-controlled until their Archetype awakens.
Party Member Recruitment Dates:
-
Strohl (Warrior): Joins on June 5th (Border Fort events), Archetype awakens June 6th (Nord Mines). AI-controlled until awakening.
-
Grius: Joins after the Border Fort events, but becomes a fully controllable party member on June 6th after Strohl's awakening. Note that Grius doesn't undergo a traditional Archetype awakening.
-
Hulkenberg (Knight): Interacts with the party from June 10th, fully joining and awakening her Archetype during the boss fight on June 11th.
-

Junah (Masked Dancer): Joins the party upon her Archetype awakening on August 13th.
-
Eupha (Summoner): Eupha's recruitment is flexible. Completing the Dragon Temple Dungeon between August 19th and September 4th (Viraga Island) adds her to the party for the final boss. Her Bond quest, however, begins after this period.
-
