As you explore the world of Metaphor: ReFantazio you'll encounter a strange glowing object that will reveal itself to be a Gold Beetle. The Gold Beetles are key items but for a lot of the game their purpose will be unclear, that is until you reach Port Brilehaven and you meet the Elderly Entomophile.

You can meet the Elderly Entomophile anytime after reaching Port Brilehaven by taking a ferry over to the Arenafront Wharf. When you first arrive in Port Brilehaven there is a bit of railroading that goes on so if you don't see the option to travel there immediately then just keep checking back. Once you first meet him he will explain that he's researching the strange Magla that the Gold Beetles store up within then. Because of that he's after a lot of them and will reward you with interesting items.

Gold Beetle Rewards

The Gold Beetles aren't used as a currency, but are instead a collectible for you to gather and turn in. At different levels of turned-in Gold Beetles, you'll get rewarded with different items. The rewards for collecting the Gold Beetles are:

  • 1 Gold Beetle - Arcane Dragonblood
  • 12 Gold Beetle - Venomward Charm
  • 25 Gold Beetles - Claw Breakers
  • 38 Gold Beetles - Flameseal Corselet
  • 46 Gold Beetles - Dragon's Fall (Sword)

Where can to find Gold Beetles

The short answer to this question is... everywhere. You'll not only be able to locate Gold Beetles in Dungeons but they are also hidden all over the many different towns that you'll visit.

When looking for Gold Beetles in town they can appear anywhere in the overworld, and they can even appear in different stores. When you reach any new area make sure you comb through every street that you can, look for any odd corners, dead ends, or side streets. These items will not show up on the mini-map so you've got to keep your eyes peeled. They will also appear in stores, so make sure you're looking over all of the counters and shelves for anything that looks suspiscious.

If you're looking for Gold Beetles in dungeons it's a lot easier. Here you just need to make sure you comb over every inch of it, this is easier to accomplish as the dungeon fills itself in as you explore. The Gold Beetle will also show up looking like an item on your map, so head towards those item markers. When you have Rank 5 unlocked with the Brawler Follower you'll have access to Item Tracking allowing for all items to show up even in unexplored places in dungeons.
