Metaphor: ReFantazio - Scoundrel's Hold Walkthrough

Whenever you arrive in new towns and cities in Metaphor: ReFantazio, you'll find fresh side quests and new bounties. The Greater One-Eyed Scoundrel is one such bounty that is up for grabs when you reach Virga Island, and it'll send you deep into the less-than-pretty Scoundrel's Hold optional dungeon to hunt down a Psyocropos.

The Scoundrel's Hold is infested with annoying Goborn enemies, and its complex layout can easily lead you astray. On top of that, several treasure chests that contain useful gear, along with one of Neuras's relics and some loot, are dotted throughout, making thorough exploration worthwhile before entering the boss's room.

Every Enemy In The Scoundrel's Hold

After setting a course east of the Grand Trad, you'll arrive in the Scoundrel's Hold on the next day. While the enemy variety is limited, some enemies here can be tough to handle. Knowing the weakness of each enemy in Scoundrel's Hold will serve you well as you explore its caverns.

There are Goborn Esto grunts and high-level Goborn Ligo enemies here. Any party member with the Mage or Healer Lineages will enrage them, and they have no weakness save for their vulnerability to Sleep.

Psyocro

Absorbs Electric but weak to Wind and Pierce.

Golden Elementa

Weak to Wind but immediately flees on its turn icon.

The first floor of the Scoundrel's Hold is pretty small and straightforward, but it’s not without its fair share of treasure and loot. Here's how to find them.
