However, to summarize, you should look for the ‘Pompous Man’ in Martira Castle Town. You can’t miss him; he has blue hair. Talking to him will trigger a cutscene, but you’ll need to have Imagination’s second rank, ‘Inspired,’ to continue.
After that, a new quest will become available. Complete the quest to gain Alonzo as your follower.
Keep in mind that in Metaphor: ReFantazio, you don’t have to answer conversation options “correctly” to rank up your followers. This differs from the social links in Persona. Instead, your choice of answers will grant you varying amounts of MAG.
| Rank Number | First Available | Ideal Responses | Rank Reward | Additional Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One | Upon completion of ‘A Dagger, A Rake, and A Ring’ quest. | N/A | Faker Archetype – Unlocks the Faker class. | N/A |
| Two | Reach Brilehaven. Requires Wisdom Rank 3. |
| Faker Enlightenment – Reduces the MAG cost of studying the Faker lineage. | N/A |
The eighth rank is unique; you’ll need to speak with someone other than Alonzo. Head to Angler’s Inn Square to find Datarum.
Make sure to complete the quest afterward for a satisfying conclusion to Alonzo’s story; you won’t want to miss that scene!
