Archetypes are powerful entities that unlock unique skills and abilities for the characters in Metaphor: ReFantazio. In this guide, we break down how to unlock each of the Archetypes in the game, so you can be sure you don’t miss any on your adventure.
Archetypes play an important role in Metaphor: ReFantazio. They act as the class system for the characters in your party. Each Archetype features a selection of skills and abilities, as well as a preferred weapon type and combat style.
Below is a list of all Archetypes in the game and how they are unlocked. They are listed in the order of which they can be obtained, but obviously this varies depending on play style.

There is also a unique, single Archetype for each of the playable characters. These are unlocked when the characters reach Bond Level 8. I will not list the requirements here to avoid spoilers, but it will appear at the top middle of the Archetype Tree, once unlocked.
Archetypes are closely linked to the comrades your character can encounter during the game. For more details, check out our Follower Guide.
