My favorite thing to do is equip someone as a mage and farm the lower floors of dungeons to regenerate MP/SP (wiping out all those Houndo’s at the cathedral and running back to the rest room for example) it’s a little time consuming but saves on using items or wasting a day leaving the dungeon and coming back.
All archetypes have interesting over world passives. But you can only see them when equipping them to your protagonist. Like farming small fries with the merchant for sheer infinite money or thief for a ridiculous number of item drops.
@@noneya460 It basically counts for the team. Like the MP reg of the mage lineage regs MP for every team member. Gunner heals the whole team etc. Unless specifically described otherwise. For example Seeker and Healer specifically mention support attacks in the overworld(So the attacks of your team mates)
Something he didn't mention in the video: ALWAYS check with the informant at the local tavern because certain areas only become available when you buy a tip for them. If you don't, you'll find yourself wondering why you can't find the area you need to complete requests until it's too late and will end up wasting days doubling back like my dumb self.
@@haywoco2 Each major story dungeon has a set date that you need to complete the dungeon by. For example the first main dungeon requires you to complete before June 21st. If you fail to complete the dungeon before the deadline it's an automatic game over.
For real, I tried watching two of the "big" guides and not only were they completely identical (due to being owned by the same company I assume), but all the tips were the most obvious stuff that you could figure out just by playing the game for an hour. These on the other hand are all incredibly useful
Here's a tip if you are getting to the mid game. At the third city in the bazaar you can buy an accessory that increases archetype exp each week on watersday. I like to equip all party members with these in order to reduce the grind and you can only buy 1 per week.
If you have a character with a maxed out archetype, you use them to funnel exp to other members. Each 1000 exp they get gives you a fruit that gives 1000 archetype exp.
@@byrondejong9872 I just purchased like five of them, and wear them on most of my party when I'm farming. (not my masked dancer, obviously, she gets the gloves that have this effect). with everyone on a mastered class and wearing these items I farm up leafs like you would not believe, and use them to target level towards specific classes and skills as needed. Also, you can buy more than one per week. 40,000 each, but if you have the scratch on Watersday, you can buy as many as you want one at a time.
On the day of release of the one game I been super hyped for, I gotta work. The good thing about all that is not only am I making a day's pay, but I got the entire weekend to enjoy the game, so it's a win-win.
i don't normally watch these kind of videos but thought while the game is unpacking id give it a look. thank you for not waffling about stuff that just isnt relevant. so many youtubers these days drag videos out before getting to actual content.
Another tip, right after reaching the 3rd city and being invited into the night bar, don't rush there. Save 120k money to this exact day and talk with a merchant in front of the potion usual store, this merchant rotate accesories and right in this day, should be selling Archetype ring(boosts the a-exp gained). Buying 4 for around 160k money is the ideal but with 120k can buy at least 3...
When you deplete the gauge using the gunner you always get hp back with the mc. Same is true of mp regen with the mage. It’s a passive the mc gets. He gets a unique one per archetype lineage.
Definitely gonna use these tips in my new playthrough, made it to the church guy after u get mobile in the game and could not beat his mages so i got to restart and hopefully be stronger when i get there again lol.
I just put this on to have something playing while I was brushing my teeth. I was expecting those obvious nonsense tips every game journalist seem to be proud of, but this video turned out to be extremely useful. Especially that part about recovering more HP/SP by deliberately breaking all enemies. Thanks!
While the Jump back, draw agro and guard combo is quite nice, the lesser part of using that accessory is that you also use up two turn icons for just that. In that sense the accessory really is a double-edged sword in term of usefulness
I fight everything. Having your main as a mage is great to harvest mp. Only downside is when you max mage and the next form isn't available yet. Held me back from training other classes for my main. You can mp farm and then switch classes and tackle more monsters to farm still but it's frustrating
Very useful tips! Thanks for sharing👍 Do y’all have tips for making most of each in-game day? The time management aspect of Persona games always stressed me out.
The time management is pretty stress free in Metaphor. I do recommend spending your "free time" increasing your bonds with allies, when there available, or leveling up your Royal Virtues. (those are your personal stats like Wisdom, Courage, and so on.)
Oh I didn’t know synthesis returned multiple half turns on an exploit. That’s huge. My big tip is weapons affect skills. Physical skills are strength + weapon. Magic skills are magic + weapon. Heals are just weapon. So unlike SMT and Persona don’t neglect your weapons!
@ yeah. It was crazy when o found out. I use healer skills but not healer because it tends to have bad damage on its weapons. I used medi for 90% of the game and was getting full heals with a warrior/brawler/damage dealer class. It has very powerful weapon scaling. It falls off late game but then you just use the tier 2 AoE heal.
I think you're right. I have my MC as a melee and Strohl too. I need to start putting more points into magic. I put it all into Str at first, now I'm struggling with magic.
I'm in the demo in the optional dungeon. Playing hard mode, and this level is flattening me. I've just labeled to the point I can overworld basic goblins, but the high-level gobbos and the minotaur seem indefatigable. Any advice?
You think it's worth it to start over? I have 35hrs in but can't beat guptauros, didn't fight the dragon because the party advised not to. I'm stuck in the catacombs with no mp or days left. After watching your video I think I should start over
Get comfortable using Mage to run around. It’s Hero Passive gives you MP back when you stun and defeat monsters in the overworld. Let low level monsters respawn and use that to get your MP back and extend your runs without needing to go back to town in between checkpoint rooms
You maybe able to fight it in the future but if you sneak pass the dragon there's a cutscene that takes place and you can't return to that section IF you played the demo that is...I don't know about it in the main game.
Hello quick question before watching this, does this have spoilers? Ive just arrived to the first zone where it gives u a mission to do in x days and i dont want to get spoiled if possible
Change Hulkenberg to a Brawler ASAP also because her starting archetype is awful. Brawler makes the 1st dungeon so much easier since most enemies are weak to strike damage too.
I'm about 2/3rds of the way through the first major dungeon and have hit a roadblock. I'm just starting to fight Whitecoats, but feel multiple levels underlevel, and there's no other enemies left in the dungeon. It's unfortunately my only save, and I don't want to throw away 8 hours of progress. Am i missing something? Please help.
I played the demo all the way through and mistakenly gave myself and the protagonist the same name. Can anyone who's finished the game say if that's gonna confuse things later? Wondering if I should start a new game over it.
Not sure if this justifies restarting the game but in Academia there are some scrolls near More's desk. When you examine them you discover that your name (not the protagonist's name) is printed on the scroll.
@@LoneWolf982 Thanks for the reply! I think I saw that scroll and must not have noticed bc my names are the same lol. I only played the demo so I think I might restart just in case there are other things like this that I might possibly miss. Have you finished the game?
@@prettyhatemachine101 Nope haven't even started it yet! (Though I have played the demo) I'm currently out of state on vacation so I have no way of playing it right now.
These are basic tips every artetype has different attacks the they are strong against the warriors are not the best tank and damage dealer because there are enemy's that don't get hurt by slash and depending on what enemies you are are facing the same plan will not work because they could be invincible too certain attacks. These guides need to state what difficulty mode there playing on and what works on specific enemies

@@danykonyohov3418 they're both different forms of art style. You can prefer the likes of FF remake and veilguard but this type of art style is still valid.

lol had the same feeling. Even though I can just go back. I want to start fresh just to feel like I have a perfect run.
I'm doing a fresh run myself mainly because I skipped that dragon fight lol.

Quick clarification at 4:30, the Gunner Lineage passive is giving health for stunning the enemy, this will not work for all Archetypes
one of what i learn, choose your fight, MP is important and hard to recover, but choosing your fight would make it easier
I fight everything. Having your main as a mage is great to harvest mp. Only downside is when you max mage and the next form isn't available yet. Held me back from training other classes for my main. You can mp farm and then switch classes and tackle more monsters to farm still but it's frustrating

Lol now I need to start over! Not a complaint this is a great hints for this game
Man this is such good info
I got the $100 version of the game and got the costumes. Pretty bad ass to fight with the smt4 battle theme
If you all want the Phantasma Doll, be SURE to buy it on a Bargain's Day, it's 10,000$ less than usual
Best on YT
MP is just as easy to get back, slap mage on and stand near one of the dark crystals and youll get mp everytime you kill a monster in the overworld
I don't know if I should buy it... Or wait for the Royal edition or Golden edition or dancing all night edition as Atlus always do...
Best advice is make MC a mage, Strohl a melee and, Hulkenberg a healer or tank with an inherited heal skill.
I think you're right. I have my MC as a melee and Strohl too. I need to start putting more points into magic. I put it all into Str at first, now I'm struggling with magic.

I’ve been a huge fan of the channel since Boomsticks dead cells review- you know…..the infamous dead cells review
Thanks boomstick gaming!
I noticed that there's a dash ability to get closer to enemies in real-time combat. I dont think ive ever discovered this. How do i do that?
Lock on with L1 then attack
Atlus should make a berserk game
Damn, imagine

L1 to target then square to attack
Change Hulkenberg to a Brawler ASAP also because her starting archetype is awful. Brawler makes the 1st dungeon so much easier since most enemies are weak to strike damage too.
I dunno if anyone can answer this but can you go back to the dragon in the mines in the full game?
Its almost like Xenogears. Almost. Will tide me over until they do a remake
How do I fix the dialogue voices volume on PC?
So if I gave that dragons sword to grius, before the kings funeral….do I get that back to my inventory? Or is it lost?
