What is the Snake Temple?
The Snake Temple is the most coveted endgame zone in Metin2. Any player who is serious about the game at high level simply cannot avoid it — this is where the best equipment the game has to offer drops. Snake gear is the established benchmark for experienced players and the standard against which everything else is measured.
The zone is populated by numerous snake monsters of various types, all of which are both dangerous and lucrative. The Snake Temple serves as a grinding zone and a destination for targeted drop runs in equal measure.
Accessing the Snake Temple
To make efficient use of the Snake Temple you should meet the following requirements:
- Minimum level: recommended 90+, optimal from level 100
- Solid equipment to survive the snake monsters
- Enough healing and mana potions for longer sessions
- Poison resistance is helpful against many snake monsters
- Basic knowledge of the zone's geography
The Snake Monsters
The Snake Temple is home to several types of snake monsters, each with different attack patterns:
- Snake Guardians: Standard enemies, numerous, moderate strength
- Elite Snakes: Stronger, better drop chances, require more attention
- Snake Bosses: Rare but with excellent drops — the most valuable enemies in the temple
- Poisonous Snakes: Apply a poison DoT; poison resistance is particularly useful here
Endgame Equipment: The Snake Items
This is the main reason the Snake Temple is so sought after. The following snake items drop from the monsters and bosses in the zone:
Snake Sword
The Snake Sword is the finest sword option for Warriors and Sura. High attack value, strong bonuses and an iconic appearance make it one of the most desirable items in the game.
Snake Dagger
For dagger Ninjas, the Snake Dagger is the ultimate weapon. Extremely high burst damage, perfectly suited to the dagger Ninja build.
Snake Fan
The Snake Fan is the best weapon for the Shaman. It boosts both magic damage and healing power, making it valuable for all Shaman builds.
Snake Armour
Snake armour comes in class-specific versions for every class. It offers outstanding defence values and represents a massive upgrade over standard high-level armour.
Snake Shield
The Snake Shield is the top shield option for Warriors. High defence values and additional bonuses make it the first choice in a defensive build.
Snake Helmet
The Snake Helmet is universal and can be worn by all classes. Good defensive stats and valuable bonuses make it highly sought after.
| Item | Class | Main Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Snake Sword | Warrior, Sura | Highest attack for melee combat |
| Snake Dagger | Ninja (Dagger) | Maximum burst damage |
| Snake Fan | Shaman | Magic and healing boost |
| Snake Armour | All classes | Best defence available |
| Snake Shield | Warrior | Highest block values |
| Snake Helmet | All classes | Universal defence bonuses |
Farming Strategies for the Snake Temple
Efficient Routes
The Snake Temple has specific spawn points that repopulate with elite monsters on a regular cycle. Experienced players memorise these routes and farm them cyclically to maintain consistently high drop rates.
Boss Farming
The rare snake bosses are the most valuable enemies in the temple. Keep track of boss spawn timers and make sure you are in the right place at the right time. On popular servers, competition for these bosses is normal.
Optimising Drop Rates
Use loot boosters from the Item Shop to maximise your drop chances in the Snake Temple. Happy Hour events are also ideal for intensive farming sessions.
Group vs. Solo in the Snake Temple
Both approaches have their merits:
- Group: Higher total DPS, faster boss kills, better survivability — but drops are shared
- Solo: All drops are yours alone — but requires strong equipment and good game knowledge
With full snake gear or Moonlight Weapons, solo farming in the Snake Temple is realistic. Players who are newer to the endgame will initially benefit more from a group.
Moonlight Weapons as an Alternative
Alongside snake weapons, Moonlight Weapons exist as an alternative endgame weapon line. While snake weapons drop directly from the Snake Temple, Moonlight Weapons are crafted. Both are valid options — which is better depends on your individual build and playstyle.
