"The Biologist's Investigation (Tue Mushrooms)" is a quest in Metin2 where you, as a player, deliberately collect Tue Mushrooms and deliver them to the Biologist for his research. This quest falls into the category of collection and delivery quests and is known in multiple languages of the Metin2 world – for example as "Die Untersuchung des Biologen (Tue-Pilze)" on German servers. The most important thing upfront: the required mushrooms are quest items that only drop from enemies whilst the quest is active. Without an active quest, you won't be able to collect any.
What is the Biologist's Investigation?
The Biologist in Metin2 is an NPC (Non-Player Character) who tasks you with collecting certain natural materials. The variant with Tue Mushrooms is one of several investigation quests that the Biologist offers. On international servers, similar quests exist under names like "Biologický rozbor 6" (Czech) or "Analiza Biologa 6" (Polish), which suggests this quest is part of a multi-part quest series from the Biologist.
The objective is clearly defined: collect the required number of Tue Mushrooms, return to the Biologist and complete the quest to receive the corresponding reward. Sounds simple – but without preparation, you'll waste unnecessary time.
Quest Items: Important Rule First
Tue Mushrooms are classic quest items in Metin2. According to official game information, the general rule for quest items is: They only drop if the associated quest has been accepted. This means concretely: before you start farming enemies or searching areas, you must have accepted the quest from the Biologist. If you don't, you'll farm for hours without finding a single Tue Mushroom.
Quest items generally cannot be traded or stored in your vault – they are bound to the active quest. Once you've completed or abandoned the quest, collected quest items will disappear from your inventory.
| Property | Applies to Tue Mushrooms? |
|---|---|
| Drop only when quest is active | Yes |
| Tradeable with other players | Generally no |
| Can be stored in vault | Generally no |
| Remains after quest abandonment | Items are lost |
Accept Quest: How to Start the Investigation
To start the quest, you must find the Biologist and begin a conversation with him. He'll offer you the Tue Mushroom investigation once you meet the requirements. Since this quest appears to be part of a quest series (comparable to "Biologický rozbor 6" on other servers), you may need to have completed previous Biologist quests before this variant is unlocked.
Talk to the Biologist, select the quest, confirm acceptance – only then does your collection run begin. Don't leave the quest overview without completing the acceptance.
Collecting Tue Mushrooms: Farm Efficiently
Once the quest is active, you can start collecting Tue Mushrooms. Since the exact drop enemies and areas can vary depending on the game version and server, the following general approach applies to collection quests of this type in Metin2:
- Farm deliberately: Focus on areas and enemy types that you know or suspect will drop Tue Mushrooms. When in doubt, check the official wiki or consult the community.
- Group farming: In some cases, group play can speed up farming since more enemies can be defeated in less time. However, quest items only drop for those who have the quest active.
- Clear inventory space: Quest items occupy regular inventory slots. Clear unnecessary items from your inventory before farming starts so you don't have to stop mid-collection.
- Check drop boosters: If drop rate items or boosters are available on your server, using them can reduce farming time considerably – but first check whether they also affect quest items.
Turn In Quest and Receive Reward
Once you've collected the required number of Tue Mushrooms, return to the Biologist and complete the quest. The exact process:
- Talk to the Biologist.
- Select the option to turn in the quest items.
- Confirm turning in the Tue Mushrooms.
- Receive your reward.
Which rewards the Biologist gives for the Tue Mushroom investigation depends on your game version and server. Typical for Biologist quests in Metin2 are experience points, Yang (game currency) or special items. After completion, watch for whether a follow-up quest from the Biologist is unlocked.
Biologist Quest Series: Placing the Tue Mushroom Quest
The Biologist's Investigation is not a standalone quest, but part of a larger quest series. On different server versions, this quest carries different numbering – on Czech servers, for example, "Biologický rozbor 6", on Polish servers "Analiza Biologa 6". The number 6 suggests this is the sixth part of the multi-part Biologist quest series.
This means for you as a player: if you can't unlock the Tue Mushroom quest yet, check whether you've completed all previous Biologist quests. The quest series must generally be completed in order. Check your quest log to see which Biologist quests you've already done and what comes next.

Tips and Common Mistakes
Some mistakes happen particularly often with this quest – here are the most important points to avoid:
- Forgetting to accept the quest: The most common mistake. Without an accepted quest, Tue Mushrooms won't drop. Always start the quest first.
- Abandoning the quest: If you abandon the quest, all already collected Tue Mushrooms will be lost. Only abandon the quest if you're certain you want to restart.
- Farming the wrong area: Not every enemy drops quest items. Find out beforehand which farming areas are correct – either in the official wiki or in the community.
- Requirements not met: If you can't accept the quest, check your quest log for open previous quests from the Biologist.
- Inventory full: Quest items can't drop or will be left lying around if your inventory is full. Clear it out beforehand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I accept the quest "The Biologist's Investigation (Tue Mushrooms)"?

If you abandon the quest, all already collected Tue Mushrooms will be lost. Quest items are bound to the active quest and disappear from your inventory upon abandonment.
Can I trade or buy Tue Mushrooms with other players?
No. Quest items like Tue Mushrooms are generally not tradeable. You must farm them yourself whilst the quest is active.
Is "The Biologist's Investigation (Tue Mushrooms)" part of a quest series?

The exact rewards depend on your game version and server. Biologist quests in Metin2 typically reward experience points and Yang. Check after completion to see if a follow-up quest is available.
Are there any tips for farming Tue Mushrooms faster?
Clear your inventory before starting so no slots are blocked. Ask the community about the best farming areas and check whether drop boosters on your server also affect quest items. Farm deliberately and avoid unnecessary detours to wrong areas.
Can I complete the quest in a group?
You can farm in a group, but quest items only drop for the player who has the quest active. Other group members without the active quest won't receive Tue Mushrooms. Coordinate with your group if multiple of you want to do the quest at the same time.
