Royal Archetypes are the most powerful Archetypes in Metaphor Refantazio.
Each companion has their own unique Royal Archetype with distinct and powerful abilities most suited to tackle endgame content.
However, unlocking Royal Archetypes can be quite a feat, especially since they cost a ton of MAG and require you to master multiple Archetypes first.
As such, this ONE Esports guide explains how to unlock Royal Archetypes in Metaphor Refantazio.
How to unlock Royal Archetypes
There are seven Royal Archetypes in Metaphor Refantazio.
| ROYAL ARCHETYPES | CHARACTER | HOW TO UNLOCK ROYAL ARCHETYPES |
| Prince | Protagonist | Via the main quest |
| Royal Berserker | Basilio | Max rank Berserker Max rank Martial Artist |
| Royal Summoner | Eupha | Max rank Devil Summoner Max rank Soul Hacker |
| Royal Knight | Hulkenberg | Rank 15 Dark Knight Rank 15 Elemental Master Max rank Paladin |
| Royal Thief | Heismay | Rank 15 Dragoon Rank 15 Tycoon Max rank Ninja |
| Royal Masked Dancer | Junah | Max rank Persona Master Max rank Trickster |
| Royal Warrior | Strohl | Max rank Samurai Max rank Warlord |
Do note that you also have to max out connecting Archetypes to unlock and upgrade the required ones. For instance, in the case of Heismay, to unlock Dragoon, you first must reach max rank with Gunner and Sniper Archetypes.
While unlocking Royal Archetypes could take a while, there are ways to reduce the grind.
For instance, consuming items such as Hero’s Fruit, Hero’s Leaf of Light, and Hero’s Jewelled Root will get you up to 3000 Archetype EXP. These items are great for maxing out beginner or intermediate Archetypes quickly.
Fortunately, you can get these easily by studying new Archetypes, leveling up maxed-out Archetypes, and sowing and harvesting appropriate seeds in the Plant Culture Chamber of the Gauntlet Runner.
