Metaphor: ReFantazio - Spire Of Blind Faith Walkthrough

The Spire of Blind Faith in Metaphor: ReFantazIo is, essentially, a souped-up version of the Forsaken Tower, another optional dungeon from earlier in the game. Both are short, straightforward, and bursting with powerful enemies that'll stop you in your tracks if you don't know what you're up against.

Prepare for a challenging hike through Nord Mine in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

That, of course, is where this guide comes in. While we strongly doubt you'll need any help figuring out how to progress from floor to floor, we have primers on each of these monstrous monsters, as well as the treasure you'll find along the way. Lastly, we link to our dedicated guide for the dungeon's boss, the deadly Leogron.

Quest Prep

On your way in, the NPC marked as Confident Woman will suggest that you fight from a distance in this dungeon, especially against the boss, Leogron. This is sound advice. We want a party that's kept in the back row as much as possible.

For our taste, that meant the protagonist as a Magic Seeker, Strohl as a Sniper, Junah as a Masked Dancer, and Eupha as a Summoner.

You might not have Eupha yet - if that's the case, then either wait 'til she joins (we think it's worth the wait), or simply bring Hulkenberg or Heismay in a back-row position.

Bring along an ample supply of Ailment Absolutions to cure Poison. Having someone with Patra isn't a bad idea, for that matter.

Floors One Through Three

Notes

Kokasados

Peck of Death reliably OHKOs unless you've got a Defense buff up. Poison Breath attempts party-wide Poison ailment.

Powerful Pulveriser deals heavy physical Strike damage. Thunderstrike Thrust deals medium physical Electric damage

and lowers their Defense. Cyclone and Gacyclone deal heavy single-target and party-wide Wind damage, respectively.

Weak to Pierce.

Leogryph

Chimera Wing deals heavy party-wide Wind damage and lowers everyone's Attack. Chimera King's Wing is stronger,

dealing extreme party-wide Wind damage and the same debuff. Claw Slash and Boneclaw Slash are single-target

weak and heavy Slash attacks, respectively. Weak to Pierce.

Faithwight Magileto

Hamadyne and Mahamadyne deal heavy single-target and party-wide Light damage. Mudodyne and Mamudodyne

are the same, but for Dark. Also uses Megidolaon, which casts party-wide Almighty damage. Resists all physical

attack types. Repels Light. Can call forth Summon Knight Skeleto. Weak to Strike.

Summon Knight Skeleto

Only appears if Faithwight Magileto summons it. Immediately casts Tetrakarn on the Faithwight Magileto to repel

physical attacks. Casts Mudodyne for single-target heavy Dark damage. Can also cast Deiamahan to restore

massive HP to Faithwight Magileto. Weak to Light.

The first floor is a simple upward climb. The second floor has two Kokasados, vicious bird monsters that you may know like the back of your hand at this point. Even so, at this level, they can be pretty tough, so don't take any risks, and do your best to stun them.

There's a lone Gold Elmento - remember, it's weak to Wind - as well as an excellent Heavenly Water. That's it for floor two, so head upstairs.

The third floor is a doozy. Nearly a dozen weak bird foes will attempt to swarm you while a Leogryph repeatedly casts area-of-effect spells on you. Eliminate the birds, roll behind the Leogryph, and kill it with Pierce attacks. Beware its powerful Wind attacks.

Here's how to drive away the Fire Dragon Mauna in the Nord Mines in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Floors Four Through Six

The fourth floor starts with a Magla Flower nearby, which spawns bee-type enemies until defeated. Beware the Kokasados. It might seem out-of-range at first, but by the time you destroy the Magla Flower, there's a good chance it'll be upon you.

A second Magla Flower is past the first; this one spawns bird-type enemies with fast lunges. The chest has a Tidal Trident, which boasts 336 ATK, and turns normal attacks into Wind elementals.

This fourth floor can be tough. Two Kokasados and a Faithwight Magileto are here. To stand a decent chance of stunning them all, you should lure the first Kokasados to the doorway, carefully whittle away at it, and then do the same with the second Kokasados.

The Faithwight Magileto's no joke, so be sure to check out our coverage in the above table.

Grab the Gold Beetle on this floor. Ascend the staircase. The sixth floor has roughly 20 or so Level 25 Sword Noble and Spear Noble Magiletos. Don't overestimate how easily they can get hits on you by ganging up, though.

A lone Faithwight Magileto is at the back end of the crowd. Use Fae Sight if you're worried about not discerning its identity before it gets some area-of-effect magic on you and stuns you. Past it is a Trove Imitec and a Graced Water.

The chest here contains Nasu's Longbow, which has a great effect: skills that hit multiple times will always hit the maximum amount.

Floor Seven

The seventh and final floor contains Spire of Blind Faith's boss monster, the Leogron. To complete this quest, read our full coverage of the monster, including its strengths, weaknesses, moveset, and more.
