Cooking gives players access to a wide range of consumable items to use while in the overworld in a dungeon or in battle in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Many of these consumables are some of the best players will get in the game, making it a great activity to invest some time into while the Gauntlet Runner is moving.

With Maria's bond, you can also unlock Speed Cooking which allows you to cook without passing any time, making it even easier to get high-end consumables. Some of the better cooking recipes require rare ingredients such as Lumibee; here's where to find them.

Where To Get Lumibee In Metaphor: ReFantazio

For most of the game, Lumibee will be some of the harder items to come by as they can't be purchased in bulk like most cooking ingredients. Most of the methods rely on random chance, but there are a few things that can be done that don't take any time. There is a way to purchase them, though this won't be available until the final month of the game. Here are all the methods for getting Lumibee.

Method Name

What To Do

Catch Flies At The Campfire

Whenever the Gauntlet Runner is camping for the night and in good weather, interact with the campfire on the deck to try and catch some bugs, with a chance of them being Lumibee. This method does not take any time and can be done any night before another activity.

Check The Pantry

Any day, even when the Gauntlet Runner is parked, check the pantry to find two random ingredients. The pantry is the first door on the right when facing the back of the Gauntlet Runner and does not take any time.

Clean The Gauntlet Runner

During free time on the Gauntlet Runner, use the vacuum cleaner found on the lower floor that Neuras created to clean various rooms to get a raise in your max HP. There is also a chance of getting multiple Lumibee.

Sold At Comfort Concoctions

During the final month of the game, October, the general store in Grand Trad will sell infinite Lumibee for 40 Reeve a piece.
