The premier weapons in the initial phases of Metaphor: ReFantazio can be acquired through purchasing from merchants or through purification. Here’s how to get them:

Golden Epee for the Seeker

The Golden Epee for the Seeker Archetype is one of the easier weapons to obtain. Simply visit the Spado Smith shop on Sunshade Row and purchase it for 50,000 Money.

However, gathering 50,000 Money can be quite challenging early on in Grand Trad. To save up, prioritize using healing abilities instead of buying medicines, and explore dungeons for valuable loot that you can sell.

Cooling Staff for Mages

You can acquire the Cooling Staff for your Mage Archetype during the quest to thwart the necromancer in Regalith Grand Cathedral. Specifically, after clearing the barrier, you’ll need to take a lift and defeat a trio of Louisian Sword Captains who await you. Once you defeat them, the Cooling Staff will be among your rewards.

Dragon’s Judgment for Warriors

The Dragon’s Judgment is a missable weapon at this stage in Metaphor: ReFantazio. This particular weapon is a purification item based on the Dragon’s Indignation. To obtain Dragon’s Indignation, you must defeat the Fire Dragon Mauna in the Nord Mines dungeon.

Additionally, to purify weapons, you will need to enhance your Wisdom in Metaphor: ReFantazio and unlock the purification feature at St. Fermis Church.

Demon Slayer Pike

Locate the Imp-Ending Pike in a chest within Belega Corridor, which becomes accessible after you unlock the “A Bullish Embargo” quest from Briggita.

Serenity Sceptre

In the North area of the Alter Chamber in Regalith Grand Cathedral, we found a Moonlight Mace hidden in a chest.

Fist of Salvation

The Exorcist Knuckles can be discovered in a chest within the Prayer Chamber while exploring the Regalith Grand Cathedral. After the scene involving the hostages, when you bond with Catherina to unlock the Brawler Archetype, you’ll find the chest directly in front of you during your exploration.

Innocent Abacus

This weapon serves as the basic gear for the Merchant Archetype. Currently, we haven’t found other Merchant weapons in the early Grand Trad section, but we will update this guide with any new discoveries.

To maximize your experience in Grand Trad, consider whether you should make purchases from the Masked Shopkeeper in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Also, enhance your Archetypes by checking out the list of all available Incense types in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
