As you join the succession tournament, you will explore the continent and visit various places. While the game will ensure that you won’t miss the most important things, there are some extra actions and items that you can miss if you don’t pay attention. Some of these missables come in the form of side quests, but you can also gather several collectibles in Metaphor: ReFantazio. While you can complete the game without finishing everything, it’s a good idea to try not to miss these.
All Missable Side Quests in Metaphor: ReFantazio
The majority of the quests you will encounter won’t have deadlines, but there are some missions in Metaphor: ReFantazio that are considered missable. It’s always a good idea to check your map every time you visit a new town. You can usually accept three to four new missions.

Besides missable side quests, you can also gather a collectible called Gold Bettle.

After arriving at Port Brilehaven, head to the fountain near Angler’s Inn Square and speak with Julian. The man will give you The Magical Future, which can increase your Wisdom.
