The Metin2 quest "Kill the Snake Warriors" is a classic kill quest where you must defeat a set number of Snake Warriors. Quest-specific items – if they count towards quest progress – drop exclusively when the quest is already entered in your quest log. Always accept the quest first before heading into the corresponding area.
What is the "Kill the Snake Warriors" quest?
In Metin2, "Kill the Snake Warriors" is a quest from the category of kill or collection quests. The German name of the quest is exactly this; in other language versions it bears different names – such as "The pages of the secret book 8" in English, "Mata al espadachin serpiente" in Spanish, or "A titkos napló oldalai (A napló 8. oldala)" in Hungarian. This shows that the quest is embedded differently in overarching quest chains depending on the region, but the core mission – fighting Snake Warriors – remains the same.
Quests of this type form the backbone of the Metin2 progression system. They guide you through the game world, provide you with experience points, and reward you with quest items and other progression resources.
Quest Items: What You Need to Know
Metin2 makes a strict distinction between regular drop items and so-called quest items. Quest items are objects that are specifically required for completing a particular quest. The special thing about them is: most of these items can only drop when the corresponding quest is active at the time of the kill. If you're not in the right quest stage, they won't drop at all.
The same principle applies to the "Kill the Snake Warriors" quest. Make sure you've accepted the quest from the responsible NPC before farming Snake Warriors – otherwise you'll waste time and wonder why drops aren't appearing.
Preparation: How to Approach the Quest
Good preparation saves time when completing kill quests. The following points will help you complete the quest efficiently:
- Accept the quest: First speak to the responsible quest NPC and officially accept the quest. Only then does the counter for killed Snake Warriors begin.
- Check your quest log: Open your quest log (default key: Q) and verify that the quest is correctly entered and the current stage is displayed.
- Character level: Make sure your character is strong enough for the Snake Warriors in the respective area. Kill quests in Metin2 are structured by level – don't fight in areas that are significantly above your level.
- Equipment and potions: Bring plenty of healing potions with you. Snake Warriors can appear in groups, which leads to faster HP loss.
- Group or solo: The quest can be completed solo in principle. In group play, the kill count is shared depending on group rules – check whether kills in a group count.
Quest Progress Step by Step
Kill quests in Metin2 follow a clear pattern. Here is the typical progression for "Kill the Snake Warriors":
- Accept the quest from the NPC.
- Head to the area with the Snake Warriors.
- Kill Snake Warriors until the quest counter reaches the set target.
- Collect any required quest items that drop from the Snake Warriors.
- Return to the quest NPC and complete the quest.
- Receive your rewards (experience points, Yang, or items).
Note: If the quest has multiple stages – as indicated in some language versions by integration into a "Secret Book" quest chain – you may need to proceed directly to the next quest NPC after completing this stage.
Snake Warriors in Metin2: Enemy Type Overview
Snake Warriors are an enemy type in Metin2 that belong to the snake-themed enemy set. They appear in various areas of the game world and are typically close-combat enemies with medium threat level. As a character in the appropriate level range, they are easy to farm.
Since exact spawn coordinates and level values are not detailed in the wiki, we recommend checking the community forums or the official Metin2 wiki for specific area details. However, the basic rule always applies: you'll find Snake Warriors in areas that thematically match the snake enemy class set.
International Context: The Same Quest, Many Names
An interesting detail for players familiar with Metin2 in multiple language versions: the quest "Kill the Snake Warriors" carries a completely different name depending on the server language and is sometimes embedded in different quest chains. Here's an overview:
| Language | Quest Name |
|---|---|
| German | Töte die Schlangenkämpfer |
| English | The pages of the secret book 8 |
| Spanish | Mata al espadachin serpiente |
| French | Les pages du livre secret 9 |
| Greek | Σκότωσε τα φίδια μαχητές |
| Hungarian | A titkos napló oldalai (A napló 8. oldala) |
| Italian | Uccidi i guerrieri serpenti |
| Polish | Strony Tajemniczej Książki 9 |
| Romanian | Paginile jurnalului 8 |
| Czech | Zabij hadí bojovníky |
Particularly interesting: In the English, Polish, French, and Hungarian versions, the quest is part of a "Secret Book" or "Journal" quest chain. This suggests that on certain servers the quest is conceived as part of an overarching quest arc in which killing Snake Warriors unlocks a hint or page from a secret book.
Tips for Efficient Snake Warrior Farming
Kill quests are most enjoyable when you complete them quickly. These tips will help you with that:
- Stay focused: If you farm other mobs in parallel, it can slow down your quest counter. Focus on Snake Warriors.
- Use respawn times: If a spot is fully farmed, switch areas briefly and come back – mobs respawn after a short time.
- AFK farming: Metin2 allows auto-attack functions on some servers. Make sure you're in the right area and the quest is active before going AFK.
- Pick up drop items immediately: Quest items don't disappear permanently, but a tidy inventory speeds up overview. Clean up regularly.
- Group for speed: In a group you can fight more Snake Warriors simultaneously. Clarify in advance whether group drops count for quest items.
