Metaphor: ReFantazio - Where To Get Blessed, Graced, And Heavenly Water

Knowing how to begin purifying your weapons and armor in Metaphor: ReFantazio is only half the battle. You still need a healthy stock of certain limited-quantity items: specialty "waters" of progressively rarer vintages that are consumed during the purification process. Without them, that shiny new piece with the "may be purified at a church" note is nothing but a tease.

Metaphor: ReFantazio - Disgraced Ruins - Tradia Region Walkthrough

Here's everything you need to know about the Disgraced Ruins in Metaphor: ReFantazio, including which enemies and treasure you'll find here.

While you won't need a ton of Blessed, Graced, and Heavenly Water in Metaphor: ReFantazio - there are only so many purifiable pieces of gear - we'll tell you where to find as many as possible so that you seldom bump into this unfortunate roadblock.

It's All About Those Imitecs

You'll find occasional Blessed Waters and (even more rarely) their more powerful versions (Graced, and especially Heavenly) in treasure chests as well as those blue orb items throughout dungeons.

That's all well and good. Every instance counts. But there's a far more reliable way to gather as many as you need: by battling Imitecs.

You will first encounter these as Pyrite Imitecs during the 'A Dagger, A Ring, And A Rake' side quest necessary to unlock Alonzo as a Follower. But if you do this early enough, you won't yet have the means to get a ton of Blessed Waters. That's fine.

Later on, you'll encounter not only more Pyrite Imitecs, but advanced forms like the Trove Imitec (at the Forsaken Tower, for example). Toward the end of the game, you'll even find Bloodcoin Imitecs. These are the best.

Steal, Run, Repeat

For this to work, you must have Heismay, the fourth party member. Heismay's Thief class provides the excellent Steal skill. It doesn't work on every item, and it won't succeed every time, but you will want to use Steal on every Imitec you encounter.

Don't worry - almost every location with Imitecs is not unlocked until after he's joined. That early spot for the Alonzo quest is the exception, and even then, you might well have Heismay already when you do it - up to you!

If you steal from a Pyrite Imitec, you'll get a Blessed Water. Trove Imitecs net you Graced Water, and the late-game Bloodcoin Imitecs are your source of Heavenly Water.

Don't defeat the Imitec afterward. Instead, run away from it. Despite their locations being (mostly) bound to within treasure chests, you will be able to re-battle them over and over again so long as you don't kill them.

As a bonus, Imitecs sometimes drop purification waters after they're defeated, too. So, you know - there's a chance for yet another instance even when you've finally put them to pasture.
