What Rank to Choose For the Gambling Man in Metaphor ReFantazio

Over the course of your journey in Metaphor: ReFantazio, you’ll run into plenty of interesting NPCs, including someone who might tempt you into a little bit of gambling. If you’re wondering how you should place your popularity bets with the Gambling Man in Metaphor: ReFantazio, here’s what you need to know.

How to Win With the Gambling Man in Metaphor: ReFantazio

When you first arrive at Port Brilehaven in Metaphor: ReFantazio, you’ll find an NPC simply known as the Gambling Man. You can make a total of two bets with him at different points in the game, and I’ll go over both instances in this article.

First Bet

The first time you’ll be able to place a bet with the Gambling Man is when you first arrive in Brilehaven. After getting acquainted with Louis, head to the Merchant’s Bazaar at night. When you talk to him, he’ll ask you to place a bet on the popularity of the Eldan candidate by a certain date, and you can choose from the following options:

• 30 to 26
• 20 to 11
• Top 5

If you manage to get it right, you can collect a good amount of reeves on the stipulated date depending on how much you decided to bet.

To give yourself some extra pocket money, you should choose “20 to 11” when placing a bet with the Gambling Man. Assuming you do every single request in Port Brilehaven prior to Louis‘ soiree, you’ll get yourself to rank 26 in popularity. And after completing the Charadrius dungeon and Louis’ soiree, it’ll automatically go down to 20.

Once this happens, go back and speak with the Gambling Man to get your winnings. It’s imperative, however, that you use this time to wrap up all of the available side quests to you in Grand Trad, Martira, and Brilehaven. This also includes the bounties you can take on at the Recruitment Center and the Arena fights. There should be more than enough quests to get you to 26 before the soiree, but you should try knocking them out to be safe.

Second Bet

After clearing the Brilehaven and Charadrius segment, you’ll have until 9/6 to place another bet with him. Again, go back to the Merchant’s Bazaar at night to speak with him, then choose the “6 to 10” option. This will allow you to earn some extra reeves for the second time.
