Nessie is a Pet in Metin2 – an animal companion that follows your character without allowing you to ride on it. You summon it via the Seal, dismiss it whenever you want, and can equip and unequip it like a piece of equipment. The two central items revolving around this Pet are the Nessie Egg and the Nessie Seal. In this guide, you'll learn everything the official Metin2 Wiki provides about Nessie – without made-up stats or fictional drop rates.
What are Pets in Metin2?
Before we look at Nessie in detail, here's the most important information about the Pet system in Metin2:
- Pets are animal companions to your character. You don't ride on them – this distinguishes them from horses and other mounts.
- You can summon and dismiss a Pet as many times as you want. Some Pets have time limits (e.g. 2 hours, 7 days, 30 days), others run indefinitely.
- Pets are treated like equipment: You can equip and unequip them at any time, but you cannot have multiple Pets active simultaneously.
- Some Pets provide passive bonuses – for example, percentage bonuses to attack, HP bonuses or EXP advantages.
Nessie belongs to this category of animal companions and is introduced into the game through specific items.
Nessie Items at a glance
Several items exist in the game around the Nessie Pet that are interconnected:
| Item | Function | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Nessie Egg | Source material / Egg item for the Nessie Pet | Listed as a standalone item in the Wiki |
| Nessie (Seal) | Seal to summon the Nessie Pet | Used via the Pet system |
| Pet Book Draft | Draft for Pet Books | General Pet system item |
| Pet Book Box | Box containing Pet Books | General Pet system item |
| Pet Draft | Draft for Pet customisation | General Pet system item |
The Nessie Egg and Nessie Seal are the two core items when it comes to activating Nessie as your companion. The Seal is the object you actually use to summon Nessie into the game world.
Nessie vs other Pets – a comparison
To put Nessie in perspective, it's worth looking at other Pets in the game. The following table shows what the various Pets from the Wiki entry offer:
| Pet | Duration | Bonuses | How to obtain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire Phoenix | Unlimited | None | DVD Box (no longer available) |
| Ice Phoenix | 120 days | Not documented | Specific source (Wiki incomplete) |
| Jade Phoenix | 15 or 120 days | +15 % Magic/Melee attack, 50 % chance for EXP bonus | Item Shop |
| Baby Reindeer | 2 hours or 20 days | Alternative drop possible | Christmas Event / Item Shop |
| Bambi | 2 hours, 7 or 21 days | +15 % Magic/Melee attack, +1,500 HP, alternative drop | Item Shop |
| Baby Azrael | 7 or 30 days | +15 % Magic/Melee attack, +1,500 HP (from 2nd floor Demon Tower/Devil's Catacomb) | Item Shop |
| Nessie | Via Seal/Egg (details not complete in Wiki) | Not explicitly listed in Wiki | Nessie Egg / Nessie Seal |
What you should take away from this comparison: Pets with active bonuses like Jade Phoenix (+15 % attack, EXP bonus) or Bambi (+15 % attack, +1,500 HP) are clearly stronger in terms of measurable gameplay progress. Nessie excels primarily as a companion – whether concrete bonuses exist is not documented in the official German Wiki at the time this guide was created.
The Pet system: Seals, Books and Drafts
Nessie is not just a cosmetic gadget – the Pet system in Metin2 has its own mechanics. Here are the most important terms you should know:
Seal
The Nessie Seal is the item you actively use to summon Nessie. Seals work like a toggle: activating it summons the Pet, activating it again dismisses it. You can summon a Pet as many times as you want – time limits apply to the total runtime of the item, not to individual summons.
Pet Books and Pet Book Drafts
The Wiki lists the Pet Book Draft and the Pet Book Box as separate items that belong to the general Pet system. These items serve to further develop or customise Pets – the exact mechanics are not further specified in the German Wiki for the Nessie entry.
Pet Draft
Similarly, the Pet Draft belongs to the broader Pet system and enables individual design or customisation of your companion. Here too, the official Wiki provides no further details specifically for Nessie.
Important notes for Nessie enthusiasts
Based on official Wiki data, there are several points you should know before acquiring the Nessie Pet:
- No multiple Pets: You cannot have Nessie and another Pet active simultaneously. Decide which companion brings you more benefit.
- Check duration: Whether the Nessie Pet has a time limit is not completely documented in the German Wiki. When purchasing or acquiring the item, pay attention to the stated duration.
- Bonuses unknown: Some Pets provide clear gameplay advantages (attack, HP, EXP). For Nessie, no concrete bonuses are documented in the official German Wiki. If you're looking for maximum combat efficiency, you should take this into account.
- Multilingual Wiki entries: The Nessie Egg has entries in Czech, Spanish, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Romanian and Turkish – indicating wide distribution of the item throughout the Metin2 community.
Tips around the Pet system
Regardless of whether you use Nessie or another Pet, some universal rules apply in the Metin2 Pet system:
- Compare bonuses before buying: Pets like Jade Phoenix or Bambi offer concrete percentage bonuses. When you're in the Item Shop, always check the listed bonuses first before you buy.
- Use event Pets: Pets like the Baby Reindeer are only available during specific events. Nessie, on the other hand, is accessible via the Nessie Egg, which doesn't appear to be tied to a specific event.
- Equip and unequip Pets: Since you treat Pets like equipment, you can switch situationally – e.g. an EXP Pet whilst levelling and a combat Pet in a dungeon.
- Keep track of duration: Time-limited Pets consume their runtime regardless of whether you've actively summoned them or not. Only activate such Pets when you're actively playing.
