Metaphor: ReFantazio - A Dagger, A Ring, And A Rake Quest Walkthrough

At some point during your adventures in Metaphor: ReFantazio, you'll reach Martira, Old Castle Town. However, before you go any further, you'll be able to participate in some exciting side quests.

One of these challenges is the so-called A Dagger, a Ring, and a Rake quest, which allows you to unlock the Faker Archetype upon completion. In this guide, we'll show you how to complete the A Dagger, a Ring, and a Rake mission in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

Metaphor: ReFantazio How To Start A Dagger, A Ring, And A Rake Quest

Head inside the Thoroughfare Square in Martira and get as close as you can to the Pompous Man to trigger a cutscene. Then, speak to Cuculus, who'll be sitting on a suitcase, and he'll ask you to bring Malveno's Ring from the Abandoned Tomb.

It's important to note that this challenge will require you to have Rank 2 Imagination. Moreover, we recommend getting some Thrilling Tintinnabulators from St. Fermis Church, as the enemies you're about to face can cause the Sleep Effect on everyone who dares to fight them.

After you accept the quest, click on the Abandoned Tomb inside the Gauntlet Runner. On your way there, you'll encounter Demo Man Goddard, who'll try to lower your Evasion and Hit Accuracy.

Fortunately, he's vulnerable to Electric attacks, so let the person on your team with this skill take care of him. In the meantime, stay on the offense and help as much as you can, especially in the middle of the fight when the boss starts to use his Hit and Evasion reduction attacks.

Once you enter the Abandoned Tomb, take the path on your right. It will lead you to Malveno's Ring. However, keep in mind that this item is in one of the chests in the dungeon, and when you roam through them, enemies will suddenly attack you.

Keep walking around the dungeon until you see Plateau. This is a cat located on the north side of the room. When you save the game and go left on the map, you'll stumble upon a chest, which will trigger the fight against Trove Imitec.

The battle with Trove Imitec is quite tricky, as this is a Level 32 boss. He's weak to Light attacks, so we recommend using the Merchant's Gold Attack, which causes him to lose one of his two turns.

Using an Igniter with the Mage Light skill is also a good idea, as it will take advantage of Trove Imitec's weakness. If you have access to the Brawler Archetype, use it as well because it will help you protect yourself from all Physical attacks. Be aware that when the boss causes the Sleep Effect, you need to cure it as fast as possible, or he'll attack again and gain an additional turn.

After you kill Trove Imitec, take the Key to the blocked wall and open it to unlock the chest with Malveno's Ring. There's nothing wrong with staying in the dungeon afterward to pick up any remaining loot if you want to.

When you return to Cuculus, he'll become your Follower and give you the Faker Archetype, as well as 15,000 Reeve. Have fun and good luck on your next adventure! For more information about Metaphor: ReFantazio, you can check out this article.
