Port Brilehaven is the third main city players will visit in Metaphor: ReFantazio, and will also be the hub location for what is one of the largest amounts of free time players will get. This unique port town has a few unique things that can easily be missed out on due to the size of the town compared to what players have previously seen, one of which is the Gambling Man.

The Gambling Man only comes out at night and is found near the Recruitment Center. Depending on when you talk to him, he will ask you to gamble on what you think your rank will be by a specific deadline; here’s which option to pick.

• You can bet 5,000, 10,000, or 15,000 Reeve.
• Being right offers twice as much back, being wrong means you lost it all.

The first time you can visit the Gambling Man will be during your free time in Brilehaven during July and August, with the deadline being August 13th. During this time, you should choose ranks 20-11. While your popularity is mostly decided by the amount of side content you complete in the game, the story will take over and require you to reach rank 20 during the deadline, so you don’t need to do anything specific to win this gamble beyond picking the right choice.

After choosing your rank, be sure to choose the maximum amount of money possible or that you can afford, as the story will guarantee you are correct and getting a return on your gamble. You don’t need to place the bet on any day as long as it is before the deadline, meaning you can go get Reeve fast and come back another night with more to bet.
