Metin2 Monkey Dungeon Guide – All 3 Levels Explained

The Monkey Dungeon in Metin2 exists in three separate variants with different difficulty levels and enemy levels. The easy monkey dungeon is called Hasun Dong and is aimed at characters level 22–30. The normal dungeon Jungsun Dong is designed for level 35–43. The toughest challenge is Sangsun Dong, also known as Monkey Dungeon Expert, with enemies level 45–55. Those who want to farm efficiently should choose the dungeon that matches their own level – and prepare the "Strong Against Beasts" bonus.

The Three Monkey Dungeons at a Glance

Each of the three monkey dungeons has its own Korean name and is fixed to a specific level range. The monkeys that appear in the dungeons are divided into three different types based on their locations. The table summarises the key facts:

Hasun Dong – the Easy Monkey Dungeon (Level 22–30)

Hasun Dong is the entry-level variant of the monkey dungeon and is aimed at players who are still in the early game phase. The monkeys here are levels 22 to 30. For characters in this level range, Hasun Dong offers a good place to earn experience points and farm loot. The dungeon is manageable and ideal for learning how to use the beast bonus effectively.

Tip: Even in the easy dungeon, you should check whether your equipment carries the "Strong Against Beasts" bonus. Since all monkeys are classified as beasts, this bonus increases your damage against all enemies in Hasun Dong.

Jungsun Dong – the Normal Monkey Dungeon (Level 35–43)

Jungsun Dong is the middle difficulty level. The monkeys in this dungeon are between levels 35 and 43. Players who have already mastered Hasun Dong and have progressed to the mid-level range will find the next challenge here. The dungeon makes higher demands on equipment and strategy than its easier counterpart.

Since the level range of Jungsun Dong is quite broad (level 35–43), both newly progressed and more experienced characters can visit this dungeon – depending on how well their equipment scales. With a solid beast damage bonus, you can significantly increase farming efficiency.

Sangsun Dong – the Hard Monkey Dungeon / Monkey Dungeon Expert (Level 45–55)

Sangsun Dong, often referred to as Monkey Dungeon Expert, is the most demanding version of the monkey dungeon. Here you'll find monkeys levels 45 to 55. Characters should only enter Sangsun Dong when their equipment is ready for the challenge – the enemies can quickly become dangerous without proper preparation.

Sangsun Dong is the most relevant monkey dungeon for many players, as it is in the higher level range and can potentially offer more interesting drops. Those who farm there regularly should prioritise the beast bonus and ensure they have sufficiently good defensive equipment.

Monkeys as Beast Enemies – the Most Important Bonus

A central mechanic in the monkey dungeon is the classification of all monkeys as beasts. This means specifically: characters who have the "Strong Against Beasts" bonus on their equipment deal more damage to every single monkey in all three dungeons. This bonus is not as universally useful in any other dungeon type as it is here, since 100% of enemies benefit from it.

Before each monkey dungeon run, it's worth checking:

• Does my weapon or jewellery carry the beast bonus?
• Can I temporarily equip items with the beast bonus without losing too much base damage?
• Am I using all available bonus slots efficiently?

The "Strong Against Beasts" bonus is one of the most direct damage multipliers in the game – especially in areas and dungeons with exclusively one enemy type.

Items from the Monkey Dungeon

Known items that appear in connection with the monkey dungeon include Monkey Blood and Monkey Egg. Both items exist in multiple language versions of the game (including English, French, Italian, Polish and Turkish), which shows they are relevant across all servers. Specific drop rates or exact uses are not documented in the available wiki data – keep an eye out in-game or ask in the community for current drop information.

Strategy Tips for All Monkey Dungeons

Regardless of difficulty level, some basic principles apply to efficient farming in the monkey dungeon:

• Choose the right dungeon: Select the dungeon whose enemy level is close to your own. Enemies that are too weak provide little experience, whilst enemies that are too strong cost you too many potions.
• Prioritise beast bonus: Since all monkeys are beasts, the "Strong Against Beasts" bonus is the most effective damage boost in all three dungeons.
• Bring potions: Especially in Jungsun Dong and Sangsun Dong, you should carry plenty of healing potions.
• Consider group play: With a group, even the harder monkey dungeons can be cleared more efficiently – especially if classes with buffs or heals are present.
• Keep drops in mind: Items like Monkey Blood and Monkey Egg may have different uses depending on server version. Check in-game or with the community for current quests or recipes.

Which Monkey Dungeon Suits Which Class?

Basically, all classes can farm in the monkey dungeons. Since the beast bonus is class-independent and found on equipment, every class benefits from it equally. Classes with high single-target damage (e.g. Warrior in sword mode or Ninja) can quickly eliminate individual monkeys. Classes with area damage (e.g. Sura or certain Mage builds) efficiently clear dense groups of monkeys. Choose your playstyle according to the dungeon layout and your current level.
