There are 46 Archetypes to unlock in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

How to Unlock every Archetype

As mentioned at the top, there are 46 total Archetypes and you’ll unlock the first base Archetype in a Lineage by making a Bond with it’s corresponding Follower. You’ll then need to rank up that Follower as one of the conditions for the higher tier Archetypes. Some Archetypes may require you to dip into other Lineages if you wish to unlock the next tier, while you’ll also have to pay a cost in MAG that increases with each tier, raising up to a possible 20,000+ MAG for the highest tiers.

As you can see, many of the more advanced Archetypes will require you to dip into other Lineages so it can be helpful to look ahead of time to see what you may need.

Royal Archetypes

As you reach the final stages of the adventure, the protagonist will unlock his Royal Archetype automatically and each of your other party members have an exclusive Royal Archetype too. Maxed some Followers and wondered what Grand Fantasy was? Well, now you know. For the most part, these are the best Archetypes in Metaphor: ReFantazio, but you’ll need to invest in the other Archetypes a lot to be able to unlock them.

Archetype Character Requirements
Prince Protagonist Automatically
Royal Warrior Strohl Strohl Bond Rank 8, Samurai Rank 20, Warlord Rank 20, MAG x 30,000
Royal Knight Hulkenberg Hulkenberg Bond Rank 8, Paladin Rank 20, Dark Knight Rank 15, Elemental Master Rank 15, MAG x 30,000
Royal Thief Heismay Heismay Bond Rank 8, Ninja Rank 20, Dragoon Rank 15, Tycoon Rank 20, MAG x 30,000
Royal Masked Dancer Junah Junah Bond Rank 8, Persona Master Rank 20, Trickster Rank 20, MAG x 30,000

Royal Berserker Basilio Basilio Bond Rank 8, Destroyer Rank 20, Martial Artist Rank 20, MAG x 30,000

The Royal Archetypes are truly powerful in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

As you can see from this, the game has a rough idea of how it wants you to progress each character based on the other Archetypes needed for their Royal Archetype unlock. For example, keeping Strohl to the Warrior and Commander Lineages is needed for his Royal Warrior. Of course some of those Archetypes need investment in other Lineages so it’s a constant case of jumping around Archetypes. The results are worth it though, the Royal Archetypes are truly powerful.
