Welcome to NGB and our walkthrough for days 06/22 through 07/16 in Metaphor ReFantazio! This guide will cover everything we choose to do on those days and any story events. We prioritized bonding events, quests, and bounties with leveling Royal Attributes sprinkled in when needed.

Daily Calendar from 06/22 Through 07/16

Our Daily Calendar section will focus on completing side quests, bonding events, and miscellaneous things required for achievements/trophies. We’ll fit in some activities to raise the Virtue Stats. We also wanted to note that depending on what you’ve done so far, the available events/activities could differ from what we have listed below on the dates we did them.

For most of this cycle (06/22 through 07/16), you’ll be in Martira. Check out our Martira Old Castle Town walkthrough covering all available activities.

06/22 and 06/23

When the 22nd rolls around, the Sanctifex Forden will finally make his big announcement, recognizing everything going on as the will of His Royal Majesty and “accepting” that whoever gained the trust by decision day would be the new king. While our trio discusses the news, Fabienne barges into the room, saying Maria is missing. The group will then decide to help look for her.

Outside the Hushed Honeybee, speak with the Curt Man standing nearby. He’ll say he saw Maria by the stairs north of Sunshade Row. Follow the lead by heading to the area just outside of Comfort Concotions. Speak with the Activist Woman standing by the light pole who will say she saw Maria go through the alley. Keep following the path to reach the Grand Cathedral. Once there, head over to Coronation Rock and approach the cutscene to trigger an event with a soldier. He’ll say that Maria passed by and let you go in after her. They will go in after her. Feel free to choose any options, as they don’t matter. Afterward, they will return to the end, where another scene will play, ending the day.

06/23

Days 06/22 Through 07/16 guide, Bardon

Another announcement introduces the Tournament for the Throne. Those interested will visit three allied nations to partake in trials to test their mettle. The first one is called the Exhibition of the Bravery, where contestants are tasked with slaying a monster. The winner will be whoever brings back the head of the biggest one. After that, it transitions to the party, where Strohl comes up with a plan to break the curse without killing Louis. They will review everything and then decide to enter the Exhibition of Bravery.

06/24

The day of the ceremony arrives and triggers a cutscene. When you regain control of the protagonist, you’ll be on the Gauntlet Runner. Head down to the engine room to trigger an event with Neuras. Afterward, you’ll be able to start partaking in activities. If you want to know what you can do on the Gauntlet Runner, check out our Gauntlet Runner guide!

06/26

As the Gauntlet Runner continues to its destination, they’ll run into Gideaux fighting Glodell. When prompted, you’ll want to pick the option to help out Glodell and try to get into Louis’ good graces. This will lead to a battle with Gideaux and two of his henchmen. Per the rules set by the king, you should not damage Gideaux at all but instead focus on his two goons. The Mage Monk is Level 17 and weak to Piercing attacks, while the Spearmonk is Level 17 and weak to ice magic. After dealing significant damage to his underlings, Gideaux heals them and starts attacking the party using light magic. He’ll either target a single member or the whole party. If you’re quick about it, you can take his allies down before he gets off an attack. This will trigger a cutscene where we finally meet up with Louis. While speaking with him, choose the options related to wanting to support him. The game will prevent you from revealing anything other than that.

After the day’s events, you’ll hear a commotion coming from the engine room. Heading there, the protagonist and Gallica will find Neuras, who seems quite frustrated. Speak with him to learn that he lost his spark. This leads to some background on the inventor, where we’ll learn about his past. He’ll then mention a relic that started his curiosity. This will start the Providing a Spark side quest.
