Unlock Neuras' Follower Bond in metaphor refantazio by completing the Providing a Spark quest starting 6/29 and finding relics.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the 'Providing a Spark' Side Quest in Martia, available from 6/29.
  2. 2
    Accept the 'Hatching a Plan' Side Quest to unlock access to Komero.
  3. 3
    Travel to Komero, a small village near Martia, using the Gauntlet Runner.
  4. 4
    Find the person Neuras asked you to seek out in Komero.
  5. 5
    Return to Neuras in the Gauntlet Runner to complete the quest and unlock his Bond.
Tips
  • Unlocking Neuras' Bond early is highly recommended as it grants the useful Gunner Archetype, which is also a requirement for one of More’s Quests.
  • The Gunner Archetype allows you to attack enemies from range, providing safety and enabling ambushes.
  • The final quest involves taking on Jin on the Gauntlet Runner. Jin is Level 65 and uses skills that lower stats or cause debuffs; consider using powerful Synthesis Skills like the Royal Sword from the Prince Archetype.

Neuras Ability Breakdown

Rank 1 Ability - Gunner Archetype

The Gunner Archetype excels at dealing pierce damage from the back row. When used by the Protagonist, it grants access to a bow, allowing you to maintain distance, stun foes, and set up easy takedowns or ambushes. This Archetype is particularly effective against Magla Crystals.

Rank 2 Abilities - Bombardier and Gunner Enlightenment

The Bombardier ability enhances your combat effectiveness on the Gauntlet Runner by having Neuras attack with the Runner’s guns, dealing percentage-based damage that accumulates significantly, especially against bosses. Gunner Enlightenment functions similarly to other Enlightenment abilities, reducing the MAG cost required to study the Gunner Archetype.
