Metaphor ReFantazio Golden Beetles Guide

Collecting Golden Beetles and delivering them to a specific character provides a constant string of rare and valuable rewards in Metaphor ReFantazio. In this guide, we’ll show you where to find each Golden Beetle, provide details on the rewards you receive, and tell you what to do with them.

What Are Golden Beetles For

Golden Beetles can be found scattered throughout the game world in Metaphor: ReFantazio. They are often hidden in dungeons and tucked away in unexplored maps of the world.

If you gather enough of them, you are able to trade them in for some incredibly valuable rewards – including one of the strongest weapons in the game:

1 Golden Beetle: Arcane Dragonblood

12 Golden Beetles: Venomward Charm

25 Golden Beetles: Claw Breakers

38 Golden Beetles: Flameseal Corselet

46 Golden Beetles: Dragon’s Fall

What To Do With Golden Beetles

Once you have gathered Golden Beetles, you need to visit Elderly Entomophile in Port Brilehaven. This is the third major city you visit in the story, and it becomes available after you complete the story events in Martira.

Once you have access to Port Brilehaven, use the ferry system to visit Arenafront Wharf. The Elderly Entomophile will be marked on the map with a small bug icon, as shown above.

Warning: There is no post-game exploration in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Once you finish the final boss battle, you can use the Save Data to start New Game+, but you cannot return to an explorable version of your original game.

As such, if you do not have a save file early enough, you will likely be pushed through the finale without the time to explore, as happened to me.

I’ll leave these up for now and hope to return to find the rest soon.
