Metin2 Beast Seals & Mounts Guide 2024

In Metin2, Beast Seals are the central method for summoning mounts, power-mounts or pets. You activate a seal using a hotkey, the seal is consumed after use, and you ride your mount. Sounds simple – but there are several rules you need to know to make it work smoothly. This guide explains everything: what Beast Seals are, how to use them correctly, which mount types exist and which common mistakes you should avoid.

What are Beast Seals in Metin2?

Beast Seals are items in Metin2 that you keep in your inventory and activate when needed. They serve one of three purposes:

• Summon mounts – classic mounts for riding and faster movement
• Summon power-mounts – mounts with additional combat or bonus properties
• Summon pets – companions that stand by your side in the game

The principle is uniform: You use a seal once, it activates the respective creature, and the seal itself is consumed. It's therefore worthwhile to only use seals when you want to use the corresponding mount or pet permanently.

How mounting a steed works

Mounting and dismounting your steed in Metin2 is done via a fixed hotkey combination. This combination is set in the game and can be viewed in the settings menu. The following happens depending on the situation:

• You're already on a mount: The hotkey combination lets you dismount.
• You're standing on the ground and have no active mount: The next seal in your inventory is automatically used, and you mount the steed.
• After mounting: The seal used disappears from your inventory – it is single-use.

The three mount types at a glance

In Metin2, there isn't just "one" mount. The game distinguishes between classic mounts, power-mounts and pets – all are summoned via Beast Seals, but have different functions and properties.

For detailed information on the individual types, it's worth looking at the specific guides: The horse system is separate from Beast Seals and has its own mechanics. The power-mount system offers additional development options for your mount.

Using Beast Seals: Step by step

Using a Beast Seal is technically straightforward if you know the sequence. Here's the correct procedure:

1. Send horse away: If you have an active horse, send it away first. The horse system and the seal system are mutually exclusive.
2. Check inventory: Make sure the Beast Seal is in your inventory. The system automatically falls back to the next available seal.
3. Press hotkey combination: Use the set hotkey combination whilst standing on the ground. The seal is automatically activated.
4. Mount up: You're now riding your mount. The seal used disappears from your inventory.
5. Dismount: The same hotkey combination lets you dismount again.

Common mistakes when using Beast Seals

Most problems when using Beast Seals have a clear cause. Here are the most common pitfalls:

Mistake 1: Horse is still active

The most common reason why a seal doesn't work: Your horse is still active. Metin2 doesn't allow you to activate a seal while a horse is out. Solution: Send the horse away first, then use the seal.

Mistake 2: No seal in inventory

The system falls back to the next seal in your inventory. If no seal is available, nothing happens when you press the hotkey. Check your inventory beforehand.

Mistake 3: Wrong seal activated

Since the system automatically uses the next seal in your inventory, it can happen that a different seal than intended is activated. Organise your inventory accordingly to have the right seal in the first position.

Mistake 4: Seal consumed – mount gone

Beast Seals are single-use items. After mounting for the first time, the seal is consumed. The mount remains with you – you don't need to use a new seal every time to mount again. The hotkey combination is enough for further mounting and dismounting.

Mounts vs. Horse: What's the difference?

In Metin2, there's an important distinction between the horse system and the mounts summoned via Beast Seals. The horse in Metin2 is a separate, growing system with level progression, care and special abilities. It's not a classic mount summoned via a seal.

Beast Seal mounts, on the other hand, are usually cosmetic or temporary mounts that you obtain via the item shop, events or other ways. They don't offer their own level progression like the horse, but can be very visually diverse and, depending on type (power-mount), come with combat bonuses.

Important: Both systems are mutually exclusive. You can't ride a seal-mount and have the horse active at the same time.

Pets: Beast Seals for companions

Not every Beast Seal summons a mount. Beast Seals are also used to summon pets – companions that support you in the game. Pets are not a mount; you don't ride them. They walk next to you or fly around you and offer different support functions depending on their type.

The pet system is separate game content with its own development and management options. The Beast Seal is merely the starting point: You use it, the pet appears, and the seal is consumed.

Tips for managing your Beast Seals

Here are some practical tips for handling Beast Seals:

• Organise inventory: Place the seal you want to use next at an accessible position in your inventory. The system automatically falls back to the next available seal.
• Don't use prematurely: Beast Seals are single-use. Only use them when you want to use the corresponding mount or pet permanently.
• Check horse status: Make it a habit to check if your horse has been sent away before using the seal.
• Distinguish seal types: When buying or receiving Beast Seals, pay attention to whether it's a mount seal, a power-mount seal or a pet seal.
• Use event seals: Metin2 regularly offers events where you can obtain Beast Seals for special mounts or pets. These are often limited-time availability.
