Metaphor: ReFantazio Party Member Recruitment Guide: A Detailed Timeline
Beyond the protagonist, seven companions will join your adventuring party in Metaphor: ReFantazio, each contributing unique combat abilities. While Gallica is present from the outset, her combat participation is limited initially.
Spoiler Warning: This guide reveals the precise days each party member joins your team. Reading ahead may spoil some narrative surprises.
Party Member Joining Dates:
Each party member's unique Archetype unlocks upon awakening. Once awakened, any party member can utilize that Archetype. Initially, some companions join but are initially AI-controlled; later members awaken just before their first combat appearance.
-
Strohl (Warrior): Joins on June 5th during the Border Fort events but awakens and becomes controllable on June 6th at the Nord Mines.
-
Grius: Joins after the Border Fort events but becomes a fully active party member on June 6th, after Strohl's awakening. Grius does not undergo a traditional Archetype awakening.
-
Hulkenberg (Knight): Begins interacting with the party on June 10th, fully joining and awakening on June 11th during a boss fight.

Heismay (Thief): His awakening and party integration occur on July 4th within Martira's main dungeon.

Eupha (Summoner): Eupha's recruitment is flexible. Completing the Dragon Temple Dungeon anytime between August 19th and September 4th (during Viraga Island's free time) adds her to the party for the final boss. Her Bond, however, only becomes available after this period.

Basilio (Berserker): Awakens and joins during the Saint's Day events on September 11th. Combat usage is possible the following day.
