The Best End Game Accessories In Metaphor: ReFantazio

Summary

• Accessories in Metaphor: ReFantazio provides bonuses like extra turns or stat boosts.
• Certain accessories, like the Overlord’s Sash, can enhance specific abilities at a cost.
• Finding the best accessories through quests or shops is crucial for maximizing battle efficiency.

Weapons and armor in Metaphor: ReFantazio can give characters bonuses to their stats or grant them special effects, like the ability to nullify elemental magic like ice. While these effects are nice bonuses, they can be rare compared to accessories, which is exactly the point of the items.

There are many accessories scattered around Metaphor: ReFantazio, from dungeons to side quests, and finding them all can be tricky. Getting the best ones can be even trickier if players don’t know where to look. So, for the final hours of the game, let’s go through where the best end-game accessories are and rank them by their effects.

Updated On January 1, 2025, By Joshua Leeds: There are many very powerful late game accessories that fit into all sorts of builds for the protagonist and your party members. This article has been updated to include additional options to help cover all sorts of builds no matter what stats you chose to prioritize on the protagonist or your party composition.

Prowler’s Pipe

Increase Steal Rate

• Location: Kriegante Castle

The Prowler’s Pipe can be obtained relatively early in the game and yet its usefulness will persist throughout. This accessory will increase the chances of stealing an item from an enemy via the Steal command from the Thief Archetype.

To get the upper hand, it’s a good idea to always try and steal from enemies, especially bosses, to get rare equipment. Players can unlock this Archetype once Heismay enters the party. The accessory itself can be found in the sewers of Kriegante Castle, one of Metaphor: ReFantazio’s many dungeons.

Phantasmal Doll

• Location: Grand Trad (Gloamhall)

The Phantasmal Doll can also be acquired early in Metaphor: ReFantazio, although it will cost quite a bit of Reeve (money). At night, players can visit Gloamhall, an accessory shop within Grand Trad. This accessory can grant the user an extra turn in battle, which will be useful in many situations.

For example, giving this accessory to someone in the party who is a good healer would be wise so that they can cast multiple curative spells in a row. It should be noted that the Phantasmal Doll will not give a free extra turn. Instead, the character with the accessory equipped can go twice by eating up someone else’s turn in the order rotation. It may sound a bit confusing for a turn-based RPG, but with practice, it’ll make sense.

Gambler’s Manual

Doubles Critical Hit Damage

• Location: Port Brilehaven (Arena)

The Gambler’s Manual is incredibly strong but only when equipped on someone with a high Luck stats that uses strength-focused Archetypes. Luck determines you odds of landing a critical hit, while also increasing the number of times a multi-hit attack will land.

Should a multi-hit attack be critical, each attack’s damage will be greatly boosted, then doubled thanks to this accessory. While it has a very limited use, it can lead to some of the highest damage outputs in the game under the right circumstances.

8

Overlord’s Sash

Increase The MP Cost And Power Of Synthesis Attacks

• Location: Port Brilehaven (Arena)

The Overlord’s Sash is a prize players can get if they participate in the arena within Port Brilehaven. Arenas, coliseums, tournaments, and so on are classic side quests in RPGs. In Metaphor: ReFantazio, players have to battle through Bronze, Silver, and Gold tiers, and after every encounter, they get a rare prize.

The Overlord’s Sash will increase the MP cost of Synthesis attacks in Metaphor: ReFantazio, which may sound bad. In battle, certain Archetypes can work together for double or triple attacks via the Synthesis process. In exchange for the extra cost of MP, the power of these attacks will be increased, so it’s well worth the inconvenience.

7

Full Moon Medal

Recover MP Every Turn

• Location: Port Brilehaven (Arena)

The Full Moon Medal is also a prize won in the arena, but it’s one of the last ones players will get. It will restore a lot of MP on the equipped character every time they get a turn. There aren’t many ways to restore MP in battle, as curative MP items are rare in Metaphor: ReFantazio. That’s why accessories like the Full Moon Medal are so valuable.

There is another accessory players should track down if they want the same effect in battle but for HP restoration instead. It’s called the Regeneration Bell, but of the two, the Full Moon Medal is superior, since there are so many ways to heal HP already.

6

Seraphic Igniter

Gain Mage Omniscience Spell

• Location: Grand Trad (Lycaon Magic Association)

The Seraphic Igniter can be purchased at the Lycaon Magic Association in Grand Trad. This shop is closely tied to one of Metaphor: ReFantazio’s many Followers, Brigitta. The deeper players delve into their bond with Brigitta, the more they will unlock for this shop.

Even when the Seraphic Igniter can be seen, it won’t be easy to get, as it is one of the most expensive items in the game. That said, it is worth it. This special Igniter will give the user the spell Mage Omniscience, which is a strong Almighty attack that can hit all enemies at once.

5

Venomward Charm

Prevents Status Effects And Boosts All Stats By 3

• Location: Port Brilehaven (Gold Beetle Reward)

The Venomward Charm is tied to one of the hardest side quests in the game. Players can find Gold Beetles on their travels starting early on, but until they get to Port Brilehaven, they will be unclear on their use. Here, near the arena, players will meet an old man named Elderly Entomophile.

Meeting certain goals in this quest will unlock rewards, and players can get the Venomward Charm through these trials. This accessory will prevent status effects like Poison, Malady, Paralysis, Hex, Burn, and Frostbite. There are other ways to block status effects in Metaphor: ReFantazio, from armor to passive skills gained from Archetypes, but the more the merrier they say.

4

Radiant Crystal

All Stats +8

The Radiant Crystal is an absolute treasure of an accessory, and getting it will take some patience. There is a late-game side quest where players will need to fight three dragons, which will then send them back to an old dungeon, the Dragon Temple. It is here that players will face Metaphor: ReFantazio’s toughest boss, Elegy of the Soul.

Once defeated players can get an amazing sword for the hero along with the Radiant Crystal, which will raise all stats by 8. There is another great accessory that can raise stats too, the Rainbow Scale, but that one only raises them by 5. Either way, a good set of stats can easily make any hero stronger, from increasing their speed to buffing magical attack power.

3

Dodger Ring

Dodges Take Away All Enemy Press Turn Icons

The Dodger Ring is only effective on a character that has a high chance of dodging incoming attacks. Should that character dodge an attack, all the enemy’s Press Turn Icons will be lost for that turn, immediately ending their turn.

This is very useful against the later game bosses and optional dragon fights as on Hard mode they will usually get 4+ Press Turn icons a piece. Giving this accessory to Basilio when he has an increased likelihood of dodging Human attacks will let you get the most out of this accessory.

2

Narcissus Brooch

+15 Magic & Luck, Also Prevents Charm

• Location: Defeat Milo during the final month of the game.

The Narcissus Brooch gives a +15 to Magic and Luck, offering the single highest boost to two stats compared to any other accessory. While the Radiant Crystal gives a +8 to all stats, magic-focused characters won’t need the additional boost to strength, and the loss of the endurance boost is worth the huge boost to Magic.

This accessory is best equipped on Eupha or Junah due to their already high Magic, with this accessory letting them deal some of the highest damage you can possibly do with Magic spells. This accessory also prevents Charm, which is just an added bonus on top.

1

Utilitarian’s Manual

Synthesis Skills Cost One Less Press Turn Icon

The Utilitarian’s Manual is easily missed since you never have to go into the shop where it is sold. When equipped, all Synthesis Skills from that character cost one less, meaning all Synthesis Skills that usually cost two Press Turn icons now only cost one.

After unlocking the Prince Archetype, the Protagonist should be your main damage dealer and spam Royal Sword against most enemies, and this accessory lets him do that and only use one Press Turn icon whenever he does.
