Metaphor ReFantazio has 44 unlockable trophies/achievements across all platforms, and the Sword Surfer achievement is one of them. By the sound of it, this trophy seems easy enough, right? All you have to do is blade-ride in the game. However, the description can be a bit confusing.

The description of this achievement states that you must “Travel a significant distance by blade-riding.” But how much distance counts as “significant” in the game? We did the math for you.

Don’t worry. You don’t have to keep surfing throughout your entire playthrough of Metaphor ReFantazio. Instead, the game should unlock the achievement when you’ve spent about 40 minutes of playtime blade-riding. You can visit cities like Grand Trad, Martira, Port Brilehaven, Virga Island, and Attabury Heights to blade-ride freely and unlock this achievement.

To be sure, if possible, pitch in a few extra minutes to ensure the game rewards you with this achievement, as it may also depend on the distance covered. However, if it doesn’t unlock after 50-60 minutes of regular surfing, there is a potential fix you can try.

Let’s assume you understand how the achievement works and have followed the steps outlined. Despite everything, the game still hasn’t rewarded you with the Sword Surfer achievement. The consensus in the online gaming community suggests it may be a bug.

If you’re facing this issue, there’s one thing you can try. Once you’ve completed the required steps but the achievement hasn’t been unlocked, save your game and close the application.

Next, turn off your system, whether it’s a console or PC. Turn it back on, launch the game, reload the most recently saved file, and begin blade-riding again.

Chances are that once you hop back on your sword and move a little, the game will grant you the achievement. If not, feel free to connect with an online forum for further help with the bug.
