Metaphor: ReFantazio Party Member Recruitment Guide: A Detailed Timeline

Beyond the protagonist, seven companions will join your adventure in Metaphor: ReFantazio, each contributing to combat. While Gallica is present from the start, her combat role is initially limited.

Spoiler Warning: This guide reveals the recruitment dates for each party member. Proceed with caution if you wish to avoid spoilers.

Each party member unlocks a unique Archetype, usable by any party member once unlocked. Early recruits may be initially AI-controlled before gaining full control.

Party Member Recruitment Dates:

• Strohl (Warrior): Joins on June 5th during the Border Fort events, but his Archetype awakens on June 6th in the Nord Mines. Until then, he's AI-controlled.

• Grius: Joins after the Border Fort events but becomes a full party member on June 6th, after Strohl's Archetype 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.

• Heismay (Thief): His awakening and party recruitment occur on July 4th within Martira's main dungeon.

• 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 will add her to the party for the final boss. Her Bond quest, however, begins after this period.

• Basilio (Berserker): Awakens and joins on September 11th during Saint's Day events. Combat use is available the following day.

This comprehensive timeline ensures you're fully prepared for the arrival of each valuable ally in your quest.
