What to do with Gold Beetles in Metaphor: ReFantazio

So, you’ve found some Gold Beetles in Metaphor: ReFantazio and now you’re stuck wondering, “What am I supposed to do with these things?”

Well, it turns out they’re more than just shiny collectibles to clutter up your inventory. There’s an NPC somewhere out there who’s itching to trade your beetles for some exclusive rewards.

But of course, nothing’s ever that simple. With 49 beetles scattered across the kingdom, you’ll have to go on a wild scavenger hunt to gather them all. And trust me, they’re not just lying around waiting for you.

What’s the use for Gold Beetles

Dexerto/ATLUS

You can collect Gold Beetles and exchange them for rewards from an NPC called Elderly Entomophile, whom you can meet in the Arenafront Wharf area in Port Brilehaven.

When you meet this NPC for the first time (or second time, if you remember him from a least fortunate mission), he gives you an Arcane Dragonblood consumable, which helps you restore MP.

From then on, if you hand over your Gold Beetles to him, he’ll give you significantly rare rewards you can’t get anywhere else in the game.

Gold Beetles are scattered all over the kingdom, both in dungeons and around the city. There’s a total of 49 and they aren’t in broad daylight quite exactly.
