Metaphor: ReFantazio features 14 followers, slightly fewer than the Social Links and Confidants in its Persona series. Each follower offers unique interactions and valuable rewards for players who engage with them, with Brigitta from Grand Trad serving as a noteworthy example due to her disenchanted view of the world’s troubles.
This guide will detail how to unlock Brigitta as a follower, along with the earliest opportunities to advance her story. Additionally, we will outline the various rewards you can earn as you progress, including information about the Merchant Archetype and its advanced versions, shop discounts, and more.
How to Unlock Brigitta as a Follower
Among the 14 followers in Metaphor: ReFantazio, Brigitta is one of the most challenging to unlock. You can start gaining her support as early as June 12th, but this requires completing a specific questline and achieving Wisdom Rank 2.
The quest, titled ‘A Bullish Embargo’, is essential to unlocking her. Check out our complete guide on it for more details!
All Brigitta Follower Ranks and Rewards
When conversing with Brigitta, picking the right responses can earn you more MAG. However, unlike in Persona, you will progress through ranks with your followers regardless of your dialogue choices.
While we’ve highlighted the “best” responses to maximize your MAG, don’t stress too much about it—this game employs a much more forgiving system.
