ESSENTIAL Tips for Exploring Dungeons in Metaphor Re:Fantazio!
🛡️ 1. Prepare Well Before Entering
Equip yourself with healing items and buffs — HP, MP, and status potions.
Check your party: complementary skills are essential (healing, DPS, group control).
Bring accessories with resistance to the types of enemies in the dungeon (fire, poison, etc.).
🧭 2. Study the Dungeon Layout
Explore with caution: some dungeons have traps or illusory paths.
Use markers on the map (if the game allows it) to remember where closed chests or locked doors are.
Come back later with new skills to access previously inaccessible areas (metroidvania-style).
🧠 3. Persona Style: Abuse the Advantage System
Attack enemies from behind to start combat with an advantage.
Use the elemental weaknesses of enemies. Breaking defenses can give you extra turns or destabilize the combat.
Fuse new Archetypes (classes/personas) frequently — this broadens your tactical options.
💥 4. Resource Control is Everything
Avoid using all your skills in smaller battles. Save MP for miniboss or boss fights.
Use area skills only when necessary — save them for larger groups or critical moments.
If possible, use rests or recovery points strategically.
💎 5. Keep an Eye Out for Secrets and Loot
Some areas have hidden chests, secret paths, and special events.
Talk to NPCs inside dungeons (yes, there are!) — some offer side quests or unique upgrades.
Use party exploration skills (like detecting false walls or nearby treasures).
⚔️ 6. Bosses Require Strategy
Before the boss, save and review your skills, status, and active buffs.
Bring characters with buffs/debuffs, not just offensive ones.
Study the attack patterns: many bosses have predictable cycles that you can exploit.
⏳ 7. Don't Rush
Replaying a dungeon can give you access to rare items or events that you don't see on your first visit.
Some dungeons change depending on the storyline or player decisions.
