How To Start The Greater One-Eyed Scoundrel Bounty In Metaphor: ReFantazio
After arriving at Virga Island and completing the first part of the story, you can explore the village and check out the stores. Fast Travel to Grand Trad and head to the Recruitment Centre. Speak with the Dispatcher to learn that a group of Goborns, along with Psyocropos, has been spotted in Scoundrel’s Hold. Accept ‘The Greater One-Eyed Scoundrel Bounty’ and gather information from the Informant.
Chart a course for Scoundrel’s Hold, and on your way, you'll stop at Ligno, where you can purchase weapons for the Masked Dancer Archetype. These weapons deal significant damage and are likely upgrades from your current gear, so if you have enough spare funds, it’s worth buying one. Upon arriving at the dungeon, someone outside will warn you that using Staffs and Maces makes enemies more aggressive.
It's recommended to avoid having Archetypes of the Mage, Summoner, or Healer lineages in your party.

Psyocropos is a Level 52 boss, accompanied by two Goborns during the fight. The boss is weak to Wind and Physical Pierce attacks, making Archetypes from the Seeker and Gunner lineages highly effective. It’s ideal for Hulkenberg to be a Dark Knight, as this unlocks several Synthesis combos and provides Physical Pierce attacks. If you prefer to choose a different Archetype, make sure to use Inherit Skills to exploit the boss's weaknesses.
The boss typically starts its turn with Soul Scream, adding four turn icons, followed by Charge, which increases its attack power. The boss’s attacks are single-target only and not particularly threatening. Use Knight's Proclamation on Hulkenberg to focus all of Psyocropos’s damage on her, preventing your entire party from being low on health. The Goborns, however, can perform multi-target attacks with different affinities, so it's best to take them out first.
Once the boss has been dealt with, you will get:
- 4,020 EXP
- 328 A-EXP
- 12,000 Money
- 688 MAG
- Talisman of the Foul
