Finding additional quests in Metaphor: Refantazio requires leveraging its organic discovery systems. Focus on these sources:
Dynamic World Exploration
- NPC Conversations: Exhaust dialogue options with named NPCs across towns, villages, and field camps, especially those with unique portraits. Status changes may unlock new requests.
- Environmental Clues: Investigate glowing interaction points in dungeons and the overworld for hidden requests or clues leading to quests.
- Day/Night Cycle: Revisit key areas during different times. Some quests and NPCs are only available at night or trigger based on story progression.
- Archsphere Ship Interactions: Regularly check the notice board on the ship's main deck for mission updates posted by crew members or allies.
Structured Sources
- Guild Branches: Thoroughly explore guild headquarters and regional branches. Interact with all members and mission boards within these locations.
- Taverns & Inns: Speak to patrons and the bartender/innkeeper. Rumors overheard often hint at side quest locations or triggers.
- Story Progress Checks: Return to hubs like Granord after completing major story arcs. New requests often emerge reflecting the changed world state.
Maximizing Quest Availability
- Gauntlet Runner Updates: Successfully completing Gauntlet runs can sometimes unlock new side quests back in the real world. Report victories.
- Character Affinity: Higher affinity levels with key companions may unlock specific character-centric quest chains.
- Late-Game & Post-Game: Several complex side quests only become available after certain late-game thresholds or during post-game exploration. Revisit everywhere.
Patience and thorough exploration of established locations during different game states prove more effective than relying solely on formal mission boards.
