When tasked this I had 0 metaphysics myself and 3 (6/2 since it's a companion) on sharkboy. Next thing I did was using a drug which gave +2 to metaphysics (among other passive skills) to every companion thus adding extra 4 and passing the check. This is not drug propaganda. Almost. You can buy them where all the shady people are gathered.

Any armor cathegory based passives (for example, faster movement speed and lesser chance to get crit hit while wearing only light armor)? Loved those in New Vegas, helped to shape the character quite a bit. And now the biggest one: How many portraits does Pallegina have?
