If that wasn’t enough, Metaphor ReFantazio‘s comprehensive Skill Inheritance system is more than enough reason to collect and master as many Archetypes as possible to access their skills. This brought out the mad scientist in me during my runs and I got all Archetypes to max level on my first run.

Here are all basic, Elite, and Adept Archetypes we found in Metaphor ReFantazio. Story progress can also add new ones we’ve removed from this list.

How to unlock all Archetypes in Metaphor ReFantazio

Unless written otherwise, you need to start the matching bond to unlock an Archetype Lineage. Gallica’s social link progresses throughout the story, while More’s advances by one rank after completing each of his tasks. We’ve omitted some followers’ names to avoid spoilers, though we kept early-game bonds intact. Researching any Archetype on this list also costs Magla.
