Metaphor: ReFantazio lets players choose one stat point to allocate on the protagonist every time he levels up, giving incredible flexibility in his build throughout the game. On top of the base stat increases and your Archetype bonuses, the protagonist will easily become your strongest party member.

On top of all the usual stat increases, players can also use the bath on the Gauntlet Runner to bath in bath salts to also increase any stat. The bath cask is found on the back deck of the Gauntlet Runner and can be done any night while at camp. Here's where to get every bath salt in the game, and what they do.

Every Bath Salt Location & Effect In Metaphor: ReFantazio

While there are lots of uses for free time while on the Gauntlet Runner, increasing the base stats of your best character further can make some of the difficult boss fights later in the game much easier. For the most part, Bath Salts are found in small villages you'll pass through while journeying on the Gauntlet Runner.

Which Bath Salt Is Best In Metaphor: ReFantazio

The Player Using Uncle Electreux's Wondersalts In The Bath

Aside from the obvious choice of the Rainbow Bathblossom, players should head to Silento as soon as possible and stock up on either Uncle Electreux's Wondersalts or Niflheim Plunge, depending on if you're doing a physical or magic build. Buy as many of whichever works best for your build and only use those Bath Salts whenever you choose to spend free time on a bath to maximize the total damage you can do, as a Bath Salt is worth two levels.

You'll want a healthy balance of also ranking up Royal Virtues at night, but players are given more than enough free time to max out all Virtues and still have many nights to further level up their stats to reach the max level.
