All subscribers are:

Followers who are also party members, such as Junah and Heismay, reach the top rank without you having to fulfill the Royal Virtue requirements. Others, including Brigitta and Alonzo, only become available to you once you have reached level two of a specific Virtue.

That said, to maximize a group member’s follower bond, you will also need to achieve high levels of an associated virtue. In short, don’t neglect your Royal Virtues.

How to start the More Follower link in Metaphor ReFantazio

More’s follower link is the first one you forge, and it occurs automatically on June 5at the beginning of Métaphore: ReFantazio. More’s Follower l ink works differently than most others.

Rather than seeing him level up after conversations or quests, you improve him by completing specific tasks related to the archetype. More defines you. These include requests like reaching level 15 with the merchant archetype or studying a set number of archetypes in general.

How to start Strohl’s Follower link in Metaphor ReFantazio

Strohl’s Follower link is the second to be unlocked, and it starts June 6 before the final battle in the Northern Mines.

You can speak with Strohl after completing major story missions to advance his follower link, but to unlock rank six you must complete the quest A Noble’s Legacy and reach Imagination level three.

How to start the Gallica Follower link in Metaphor ReFantazio

Gallica’s Follower link also starts automatically on June 6this time after emptying the Northern Mines.

His bond deepens as you progress through the story, and there’s nothing you can do to make him progress faster.

How to start Maria’s Follower link in Metaphor ReFantazio

Maria’s discipleship bond has two beginnings. THE the first is automatic and takes place on June 10 after reading More’s book to him, even if you I can’t dig deeper into the link until June 29 when Neuras gives you the drawing of the tree.

You must also reach tolerance level two before you can initiate the rank two conversation. Ranks four, five, and seven are also tied to receiving certain drawings, which happens automatically as your party travels in the Gauntlet Runner.

Finally, you also need to reach tolerance level four to initiate Maria’s rank seven conversation.

How to start Hulkenberg’s Follower link in Metaphor ReFantazio

Hülkenberg follower link starts June 11 after the events that occurred during the royal funeral.

That’s all it takes, but you may need to reach level four Wisdom to unlock the seventh rank of his Follower link.

How to start Brigitta’s Follower link in Metaphor ReFantazio

Technically, you can start Brigitta’s follower link as soon as the royal funeral ends, although you cannot do so due to statistical requirements. Starting it requires Wisdom level two. Once you meet this condition, talk to Brigitta in front of the Lycaon Magic Association on Sunlumeo Street and accept her quest. A bullish embargowhere she asks you to kill the Grotesque Guptauros.

The Guptauros battle is difficult – even more so if you ignore the informant’s advice and take the mage archetype with you. If you don’t have Ice Chunk items to deal damage, consider putting Blizz as a legacy skill for one or two characters. However, if this proves too difficult before clearing Grand Trad Cathedral, you can level up in this dungeon and try again later, as a bull embargo has no deadline. You need Courage level three to start the fifth rank of its Follower link, and you need to unlock the Royal Prince archetype before you can start the final rank.

How to start Catherina’s tracking link in Metaphor ReFantazio

Catherina’s bond begins when she asks for your help in the Cathedral of Grand Trad. She gives you the quest A friend in needa hostage rescue mission that you must complete to advance in the dungeon.

Once you clear the cathedral, Catherina will occasionally ambush your Gauntlet Runner in the campaign and challenge you to a battle, although these fights stop halfway through her follower link.

You need Tolerance level five to begin its subsequent ranks of bonds.

How to start the Neuras Follower link in Metaphor ReFantazio

The Neuras tracking link is easy to miss if you forget to handle the side quest Provide a sparkwhich unlocks once you reach Martira. Getting the Gunner archetype that Neuras’ Follower Link unlocks is necessary to advance More’s Follower Link, so it’s a good idea to start as soon as you can.

Anyway, on June 29Neuras mentions one of his old mentors, some relics and Village of Koméro. Travel to Komero in the Gauntlet Runner, buy the items he mentioned in the shop and give them to Neuras to start his follower link. After that, you will have to find lost relics, strange objects scattered in certain dungeons across the land, to improve its bond. Read the journal in the Gauntlet Runner’s engine room – it’s pinned above the catwalk at the entrance to the room – for clues on where to find the next relic.

How to start Bardon’s Follower link in Metaphor ReFantazio

You can start Bardon follower link the day after the end of Martira’s dungeonwhether it’s before the deadline or not. Speak with Bardon in the town square, spend the afternoon with him and you will unlock rank one and the Commander archetype.

You need level three Eloquence to start his rank five bond, and you’ll need to complete the The Right to Rule side quest he gives you after reaching rank six to unlock rank seven.

How to start Heismay tracking link in Metaphor ReFantazio

Heismay’s follower link can begin on July 4 after you finish handling the situation at Martira Castle, but you need to reach Eloquence level two before you can actually start it.

You will also still have to wait until July 4 to start it, even if you complete the dungeon earlier. Later you will need Imagination level four to begin its rank seven bond event.

How to start Alonzo’s Follower link in Metaphor ReFantazio

Starting the Alonzo Bond Rank – Alonzo is Cuculus’ real name – is a bit more difficult and takes you into a dungeon filled with dangerous monsters. Talk to Alonzo at Martira Square anytime after you arrive in town and reach imagination level twoand after the events unfold he will give you the side quest A dagger, a ring and a rake

This quest takes you to the Abandoned Tomb mini-dungeon, a place filled with imitation Pyrite Imitec chests and, near the end, a much more dangerous Trove Imitec enemy. The smaller Imitecs are optional, but you must defeat the Imitec Trove to complete the quest. You might want to wait until you’ve completed Martira Dungeon, so your party is strong enough to handle it, and you definitely want to take the Merchant archetype with you. Their silver throwing skill distracts Imitec enemies for one turn.

Bring the ring to Alonzo to start his follower link. You need Wisdom level three to start the third row, Tolerance level three to start the fourth row, and Courage level five to start rank seven.

How to start Junah’s Follower link in Metaphor ReFantazio

Junah’s follower link unlocks once she joins your party, but you need to put in some effort before it starts. Junah automatically joins as an ally once you infiltrate Louis’ skyrunner, the Charadrius, in Brilehaven – late July, if you’re very well prepared, but probably early to mid-August. However, his Disciple bond and the chance to unlock the advanced Masked Dancer Archetype lineage, is only available on Virga Island from August 18.

Talk to Junah on or after August 18 to get the quest Save the Grieving Snakes. This side quest pits you against a boss whose attacks cause instant death unless the targeted ally has an active defense buff. THE Commander’s Marakukaja is essential for this fight, as it increases the entire party’s defense with a single cast, so be sure to bring this archetype or have at least one ally learn Marakukaja as an inherited skill. You will automatically reach the first rank once you defeat the boss and report to Junah.

You’ll need Imagination Level Four to start her rank five conversation, and Junah’s rank six conversation can only happen when the party is traveling aboard the Gauntlet Runner.

More to come…
