Metaphor: ReFantazio's Party Members: A Detailed Guide to Recruitment Timing

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

This guide details the precise day each party member joins, keeping in mind that some later additions might be surprising. Minor spoilers ahead regarding party member recruitment.

Important Note: Each party member awakens to their own Archetype, usable by any party member once unlocked. Early members might be initially AI-controlled before their Archetype awakening.

Party Member Recruitment Timeline:

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

• Grius: Joins after the Border Fort events but becomes a full combat participant on June 6th, after Storhl's awakening. Grius doesn't undergo a traditional Archetype awakening.

• Hulkenberg (Knight): Begins interacting with the party on June 10th, fully joining and awakening her Archetype during the boss fight on June 11th.

• Heismay (Thief): Heismay's awakening and party joining occur on July 4th within Martira's main dungeon during a largely linear story segment.

• Junah (Masked Dancer): Junah joins after her Archetype awakening on August 13th.

• Eupha (Summoner): Eupha's recruitment is flexible. Completing the Dragon Temple Dungeon anytime between August 19th and September 4th during Viraga Island's free time will add her to the party for the final boss. Her Bond, however, becomes available only after this period.

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