Unlock Eupha's Bond in Metaphor: ReFantazio by completing the Trial of Malnova. Discover her Summoner Archetype, abilities, and rank-up events to strengthen your party.
As you journey to the Virga Islands in search of the Divine Relic, Drakadios, you'll encounter the mysterious Priestess, Eupha. After rescuing her from the Dragon God Temple, she'll join your party. To unlock her Bond, you'll need to complete the **Trial of Malnova** Side Quest.
Before heading into the Land of Ceremony labyrinth, ensure Edeni clears any bad weather to avoid disadvantages. At the dungeon's end, you must defeat Homo Pento, a Level 50 Human weak to Fire. Completing this quest unlocks Eupha's Bond.
Note: Have Edeni change the weather before starting the Trial of Malnova. You will need to defeat Homo Pento at the end of the Land of Ceremony dungeon.

Rank 1 Ability - Summoner Archetype
The Summoner Archetype is a unique class in Metaphor: ReFantazio. You can craft Vessels in Akademia to unlock new summons, covering most elements and often providing secondary effects. Synthesis Abilities can target entire enemy groups, making Eupha and the Summoner Archetype a formidable force.
Rank 2 Abilities - Summoner Enlightenment and Pagan Teachings
Summoner Enlightenment reduces the MAG cost for studying Summoner Archetypes, which are expensive. Pagan Teachings decreases the chance of your party being inflicted with anxiety, especially useful during boss encounters or ambushes.
Rank 3 Abilities - Scion’s Skill and Battle Aura
Scion’s Skill grants an extra Inheritance Slot, allowing Eupha to equip more support skills. Battle Aura increases EXP gained by party members in reserve, making it beneficial to keep Eupha in the main party until this ability is unlocked.
Rank 4 Ability - Summoner Veneration
This ability upgrades Summoner Enlightenment, further decreasing the MAG cost to study Archetypes.
