You know how when you’re at a party, and there’s always that one guy in the corner with a deck of cards? The Gambling Man in Metaphor: ReFantazio is kind of like that guy. He sits there, watching, waiting for someone to come along and test their luck. Here’s the deal: he’s not asking for your money, but for your guess. Who’s going to rise to the top?
First, you’ll meet him at Port Brilehaven. He’ll want you to bet on the popularity of the Eldan candidate. Sounds simple, right? Well, there are three ranks to choose from:
- 30 to 26
- 20 to 11
- Top 5
It’s like choosing which horse will win the race, but instead, you’re betting on how popular someone will get.
Here’s the trick—go with “20 to 11”. Why? If you’ve been hustling through the game, doing all the odd jobs before Louis’ soiree, you’ll hit rank 26. Then, complete the Charadrius dungeon and attend the soiree. Boom! You drop down to rank 20. That’s when you cash in.
But here’s the thing: don’t get lazy. You need to tie up all your loose ends before the soiree. That means tackling side quests in Grand Trad, Martira, and Brilehaven. And don’t forget the bounties and arena fights. Do it all, and you’re golden.
Once you’ve done that, go back to the Gambling Man, and he’ll pay you out. Read more about how to unlock Informed (Rank 2) Wisdom in Metaphor: ReFantazio.
