The Metin2 Halloween Event is an annual autumn event where all monsters in your level range drop special event items. These items are automatically deposited into the Event UI and can be used for the Yutnori minigame or direct exchange. Important: The event drop ends one day before the official event conclusion – exchange items in time!
What is the Halloween Event in Metin2?
Once a year, in autumn, the world of the three kingdoms transforms. Inhabitants dress up in costumes, keep spooky pets, and participate in the Yutnori event. The Halloween Event is one of Metin2's annual seasonal events – alongside Christmas, Easter, and Summer events – and runs for several weeks.
The event is accessible via the Event UI, which was introduced to the game with Update 19.1. It displays all active events on all servers and channels. You can open it using the assigned key or by clicking the "E" symbol to the left of the mini-map.
How the Event Drop Works
During the Halloween Event, all monsters in your level range drop event items. These are automatically transferred to the Event UI – no manual pickup required. The system ensures drops aren't lost in your inventory.
The central mechanic detail: 28 event drop items are automatically converted into 1 Yutnori item. This single item can then either:
- be used in the Event UI for the Yutnori minigame, or
- be exchanged directly at the Yutnori table for a reward.
Caution: The event drop ends one day before the official event conclusion. In some years, the event can end even earlier if technical changes are made. Those waiting for the last exchange window risk having items not redeemed.
The Yutnori Minigame: Game Rules Explained
The centrepiece of the Halloween Event is the Yutnori minigame – a traditional Korean board game that you play against the computer in Metin2 style. To start a match, you need an event item and a Yutnori game piece.
Important before starting: If you change maps or log out during an ongoing match, you lose immediately – without reward.
Objective and Basic Principle
Each player has two game pieces. Whoever brings both pieces to the goal first wins. Rolling is done with Yut sticks: the number of sticks that land flat-side up determines how many spaces you move forward.
Game Progression Step by Step
| Phase | Description |
|---|---|
| Determine starting player | First roll determines who begins. The player with the lower roll gets to move first. |
| Moves & Points | Each match starts with 20 moves and 250 points. |
| Choose piece | Click "Roll", read the result below, then select your desired game piece. |
| Use shortcuts | If you land exactly on an arrow field, you can take the shortcut – this can be game-deciding. |
| Game end | Whoever brings both pieces to the goal wins. If the 20 moves are exhausted without reaching the goal, the game is lost. |
Strategy Tips for the Yutnori Minigame
The Yutnori minigame is not pure luck – the decision of which game piece to move with the rolled value has tactical influence.
- Prioritise shortcut fields: Arrow fields enable significantly shorter routes. Plan your moves so one piece lands deliberately on these fields.
- Keep move budget in mind: 20 moves sound like plenty, but they're quickly consumed with unlucky rolls. Distribute moves consciously between both pieces.
- Don't change maps: This mistake costs you the entire match. Stay on the current map until the game is complete.
- Risk assessment for exchange: Those without time for the minigame can exchange the item directly at the Yutnori table – without the risk of a lost match.

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
The Halloween Event is simple in structure, but a few pitfalls are typical for new players:
- Redeeming too late: The drop ends one day before event conclusion. Those waiting until the last night risk losing the chance to collect drops – and due to technical changes, the event can end even earlier.
- Logging out during the minigame: Any connection loss during a Yutnori match counts as a defeat with no reward.
- Changing maps: The same applies to map changes – the match is aborted immediately.
- Not opening Event UI: Event items are automatically deposited in the Event UI, not your regular inventory. If you only check your inventory, you won't see collected items.
Frequently Asked Questions
At what level can I participate in the Halloween Event?
The wiki does not specify a concrete level requirement. The event is designed for all players in their respective level range – monsters drop event items according to your own level.
Where do I find the Halloween Event UI?
The Event UI is accessible via the assigned key or by clicking the "E" symbol to the left of the mini-map. It was introduced with Update 19.1 and displays all active events on all servers and channels.
When exactly does the event drop end?
The event drop officially ends one day before the Halloween Event concludes. It may end earlier due to technical changes. Items should therefore be redeemed as soon as possible.
How many event drop items do I need for a Yutnori match?
28 event drop items are automatically converted into 1 Yutnori item. This single item is then needed for the minigame or direct exchange at the Yutnori table.
What happens if I lose the Yutnori match?
If you lose – either by exhausting the 20 moves, logging out, or changing maps – there is no reward. The item used is consumed.
Can I redeem the Yutnori item without playing the minigame?
Yes. The Yutnori item can be exchanged directly at the Yutnori table for a reward without playing the minigame.
What other events are there in Metin2?
Metin2 offers eight annual seasonal events, including Valentine's Day, Easter, Summer, Blood Moon and Christmas events. Additionally, there are minigames, event dungeons and other event systems like Battle Royale mode or Guild War.
