"The Secret Book Pages" is one of the best-known ongoing quest series in Metin2. The series comprises at least 11 independent quests (Part 1 through Part 11) that must be unlocked and completed in sequence. Each quest shares the same base name and is available in almost every language version of the game – from Czech through English to Romanian – demonstrating how central this quest series is to the gameplay experience. Players who complete all parts gain a structured insight into the lore and mechanics of Metin2.
What is the "The Secret Book Pages" quest series?
The quest series is a sequential storyline quest that guides players through various areas and tasks in Metin2. The individual parts build directly on each other: you can only start Part 2 once you've completed Part 1, and so on until Part 11. The basic principle remains the same throughout all parts – you collect items, fight enemies or visit specific locations to obtain a new "page" of the secret book each time.
The worldwide distribution of the quest underscores its significance: in every official language version – English, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Czech, Greek, Hungarian and Romanian – it carries its own localised name, though the content structure is identical.

The following table lists all known parts of the quest series with their official German and English names. Part 10 leads to a special follow-up quest, among other things.
| Part | German Name | English Name | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Die Seiten des geheimen Buches 1 | The pages of the secret book 1 | Opening quest of the series |
| 2 | Die Seiten des geheimen Buches 2 | The pages of the secret book 2 | Follow-up quest after Part 1 |
| 3 | Die Seiten des geheimen Buches 3 | The pages of the secret book 3 | Follow-up quest after Part 2 |
| 4 | Die Seiten des geheimen Buches 4 | The pages of the secret book 4 | Follow-up quest after Part 3 |

Special Features of Individual Parts
Not all parts of the series follow the same pattern. Part 10 is particularly notable: in the German wiki, this part is directly redirected to "The Trail in the Icy Desert", suggesting that Quest 10 serves as a transition quest to the Icy Desert storyline or is embedded there thematically. If you've completed Quest 9, you should prepare yourself for the Icy Desert area.
Part 11, on the other hand, is titled "Cattura il piccolo ragno velenoso" in the Italian wiki – roughly "Catch the small poison spider" in English. This suggests that defeating or catching a spider enemy is a key task in this part. Similar patterns can be assumed in other parts, even if the specific tasks vary depending on the part.
Part 3 is localised in particularly many languages (Czech, English, Spanish, French, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Romanian), which suggests a more complex or longer playable task in this section.

Tips for Successfully Completing the Quest Series
Since the quest series consists of 11 parts that strictly build on each other, you should keep some basic points in mind:
- Follow the sequence: The quests can only be completed in the intended order. Don't skip any part, otherwise you'll block your progress.
- Check your quest log regularly: Metin2 displays active quests in your quest log. Check there regularly to see which part is currently active and what the next task is.
- Prepare for Part 10: Since Part 10 is directly linked to "The Trail in the Icy Desert", it's advisable to familiarise yourself with the Icy Desert area before starting Part 9.
- Part 11 – Poison Spider: According to the Italian localisation, Part 11 requires defeating or catching a small poison spider. Make sure your character is equipped for spider enemies.
- Use the community: If you have questions about specific tasks within individual parts, it's worth checking the official Metin2 forum or the Discord community of the German server community.
Integration into Metin2 Lore
The quest series isn't just a means to level up or farm – it conveys background information about the game world. The "secret book" as a central motif runs through all 11 parts and links different areas and enemy types into a coherent story. Players who consistently complete the quest series thus get a connecting thread through a substantial part of Metin2 lore.
The connection to other quest series is particularly interesting: the redirection from Part 10 to "The Trail in the Icy Desert" shows that the plot of the secret book is embedded in larger story arcs of Metin2. If you want to understand the complete story of Metin2, you can't get around this quest series.
