How To Beat Homo Pento In Metaphor: ReFantzio's Trial Of Malnova Quest

After saving Princess Eupha and defeating the Dragon God, the party will return to the Village to defeat the Human who escaped. Once the threat to the Village has been dealt with, Eupha will join the protagonist’s party, and shortly after, players can find her standing beside the Inn Well. During the conversation, Edeni will suggest that Eupha visit the Land of Ceremony and complete the Trial of Malnova.

For those unsure of how to unlock the Summoner Archetype, here’s what the process entails and how players can defeat Homo Pento in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

After talking to Euphad and accepting the quest, you can talk to Edeni to change the weather for the Land of Ceremony. This choice is entirely up to you, as changing the weather allows you to get extra press turns when hitting enemy weaknesses. The fight will be more challenging if you do not change the weather, but it will grant you more EXP and A-EXP.

After this, chart a course for the Land of Ceremony. During the journey, you can spend time with Eupha to increase your Imagination by 6 points. There are several Trance crystals inside the Dungeon, and if you did not change the weather, you can farm the enemies here to level up your Archetypes.

At the end of the Dungeon, you will face Homo Pento, and defeating it completes the quest, granting you some Wisdom. This quest also unlocks Eupha as a Follower and the Summoner Archetype for your party members.

How To Defeat Homo Pento In The Trial Of Malnova Quest

​​​​​​​

• Protagonist – Mage
• Strohl – Commander
• Junah – Masked Dancer
• Eupha – Summoner

Homo Pento is a level 50 boss who spawns a Summon Knight Skeleton to aid it in the fight. The boss is weak to Fire and Light attacks but Repels Wind Skills.

Junah’s Crimson Flame can target both enemies and deal heavy magic damage, which is crucial in this fight. Eupha does not have normal Fire damage-dealing skills, but her Synthesis Summon Dragon God deals severe Fire damage to enemies and removes buffs. You can use inherited skills on your party members to add Hamaon, but the Fire skills should be enough to deal with this boss.

Homo Pento’s Curse Chant can cause Hex to your allies. Do not attack the boss in this state, as doing so will result in you taking additional damage from the Hex.

Once the boss has been dealt with, you will get:

• 3,600 EXP
• 1,080 A-EXP
• 2,000 Money
• 2,000 MAG
• Talisman of the Night
• Talisman of the Wargod

The Summoner is a unique Archetype in Metaphor: ReFantzio that has Ice weakness and blocks Dark attacks. The Summoner only has two base Skills for dealing Wind damage and healing allies. Apart from this, players must acquire Talisman, which they can use in the Summon Experiments to create Summons that the Archetype can use in battle. Elite Summoners are much more powerful, but you must unlock the Devil Summoner to access them.

The Summoner is a versatile Archetype with a lot of utility and can output massive amounts of damage, making most fights in Metaphor: ReFantazio a breeze. Eupha is the most suited to the Summoner Archetype, but you must Master it on the Protagonist if you plan on acquiring the Archetype Hero Trophy/Achievement.
