Metaphor: ReFantazio - Disgraced Ruins - Tradia Region Walkthrough

One of the last optional areas you can encounter in Metaphor: ReFantazio is the Disgraced Ruins, which become accessible once you undertake 'The Apostles of the Apocalypse' bounty. As one of the optional tasks available in the run-up to the big finale, it's the perfect way to kill some time and level some Archetypes.

Metaphor: ReFantazio - Nord Mines Walkthrough

Prepare for a challenging hike through Nord Mine in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

This area has a lot of great loot to find, and of course, plenty of enemies to contend with. We've got a breakdown of everything you need to know about the Disgraced Ruins right here.

How To Navigate The Disgraced Ruins

The Disgraced Ruins have quite a few optional locations to visit. If you're aiming to go straight for the bounty, it's not too hard to just keep following the path down on each map and you'll get there eventually. However, for those wanting to ensure they don't miss a thing, we've got it all detailed right here.

Upon entering, the first path on your left leads to a dead end where you can grab a Gold Beetle, then return and take the opposite path. At this point, there is only one way forward as the northern part is blocked, so you'll need to head down a level on the eastern side of the map.

On the second floor, the first left you can take leads you back up to the first floor (where you can interact with the contraption to remove the block to the entrance) Jump down the northern wall to return to the second floor and head left/west.

On the third floor, you can take the first left to go back up and level where you have two ladders:

• The ladder heading down takes you to the third floor but you can't progress any further at present so it's not worth visiting yet.
• The ladder heading up takes you to the first floor where you can remove the final block by interacting with the move contraption. You can also grab the two treasure chests here.

One of the chests here is a Bloodcoin Imitec but it drops some great loot (Tektite Monocle).

Back on the third floor, follow the path south to head down to the fourth floor.

On the fourth floor, the path heading west takes you back up to the third floor and you can grab two chests and interact with a contraption to remove a block.

One of the treasure chests is a Bloodcoin Imitec but it drops a Talisman of the Night if you want that.

You can then jump down the wall north of the contraption to be back on the proper path on the fourth floor. Take the northern path down to the fifth level, which is a short path west to get to the sixth floor.

On the sixth floor, head south and on your right you will eventually spot a crawl tunnel. Head through, grab the treasure chest and then take the ladder heading up a level.

You'll be back on the fifth level where you can grab a couple of treasure chests from the southernmost chamber.

You can head up yet another ladder to return to the fourth floor, where you can remove the final block via the contraption there, but really it's not worth it.

Return to the sixth floor and follow the path around to the east to descend to the seventh floor, which is a straightforward path to the eighth floor. The first left will take you to a treasure chest room.

The second left will lead you to a ladder heading up a level, go straight across to the next ladder and up again, at which point you return to the sixth level and can use the final contraption to remove a block, if you wish to. It's kind of pointless, so I wouldn't bother.

On the eighth floor, you can just head to the northernmost room to tackle the bounty boss.
