You can also find some secret Archetypes that aren’t shown at the start. Depending on the Archetypes you own, you can get a bunch of new special Skills, Perks, and even Traits. Explorer is one of these, and it’s great if you’re planning to hoard rare items.
How To Unlock Explorer Archetype
Explorer is one of the seven Archetypes that you can choose when you talk to Wallace at the harbor for the first time. Unfortunately, if you’ve already made that choice,you’ll have to wait for quite a long time to get it. After finishing four worlds and their final bosses, you’ll eventually reach Root Earth.
Here, Clementine willopen a red barrier and you’ll face thefinal boss called Annihilation. You’ll get a Broken Compass after defeating the boss and the story will end. Although, you can still go back to all the areas including Ward 13 after the credits. Take the Broken Compass back to Wallace and you can get the Golden Compass.
This unlocks the Explorer Archetype andyou can equip it on the Archetype section in the main menu.
