There are a lot of Archetypes to collect and play around with in Metaphor: ReFantazio, and some of them are required to progress through certain Follower bonds. Here’s how to get the Gunner Archetype in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
The Gunner Archetype can be unlocked by forming a Follower bond with Neuras in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
This can only be done after you’ve cleared the Grand Cathedral and have made your way to Martira with the Gauntlet Runner. Once you get some free time after meeting the guardsmen in Martira, you can accept a request from Neuras that tasks you with heading to the nearby village of Komero. When you go to Komero, a few scenes with play out as you retrieve a relic for Neuras, and after that, you’ll establish a Follower bond with Neuras himself.
This unlocks the Gunner Archetype, which primarily makes use of crossbows and ranged attacks that can only be used from the backlines.
It’s also one of the required Archetypes for progressing through More’s Follower questline. All you need to do is have any party member study the Gunner Archetype, then talk to More to rank up your bond with him. He’ll then task you with getting the Merchant Archetype to rank 15 before you can deepen the bond.
