Metaphor: ReFantazio How To Unlock Catherina

Fortunately, Catherina is one of the easiest characters to unlock in Metaphor: ReFantazio, and she won't ask you to complete any additional tasks while you're leveling up your Bond with her. However, to unlock her, you need to go back to the Regalith Grand Cathedral dungeon after 6/12. Keep in mind that if you try to do it before this date, Catherina will not be there.

When you first find her, she'll be looking for her friend, who is trapped inside. Exhaust your conversation with Catherina, and you'll begin the A Friend in Need side quest. This will help you save everyone inside, and once Catherina comes to you to express her gratitude, she'll become your Follower and give you her Brawler Archetype.
