Metins are the namesake monsters in Metin2 and simultaneously the heart of the game. They appear in three difficulty levels – easy, normal and hard – and in various elemental variants, including fire, water, earth, wind and darkness. The Sungma invasion portal is a special area where players encounter reinforced versions of these metins. Those who want to farm efficiently need the right knowledge about spawn mechanics, the metin calling scroll, and the peculiarities of individual types.
What are Metins in Metin2?
Metins are stationary monsters distributed across all maps in the game world. Unlike typical enemies, they do not move but stand fixed on the map and spawn guardian mobs around them once attacked. This makes them a unique category within the Metin2 combat system.
The name of the entire game is derived from these stones – they represent the dark energy that threatens the game world. Your goal as a player is to destroy these metins to receive rewards and "cleanse" the world. The stones appear in different elemental variants, each carrying specific resistances and loot tables.
The Three Difficulty Levels: Easy, Normal, Hard
Metins come in three clearly defined difficulty levels. The level largely determines how much damage the stone withstands, how strong the spawned guardian mobs are, and what rewards can drop when destroyed.
| Difficulty Level | Description | Special Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Easy | Entry variant for low levels | Low guardian strength, low HP pool |
| Normal | Standard variant on most maps | Balanced ratio of effort to reward |
| Hard | Challenge for advanced players | Strong guardians, higher potential loot |
Which difficulty level you find on a particular map depends on the map zone and your progress in the game. Beginners typically start with easy metins, whilst hard variants only appear in advanced areas.
Fire Metins: Special Features and Occurrence
Among the elemental variants, fire metins are among the most well-known and frequently farmed types. They are recognisable by their flaming appearance and spawn preferentially in areas with corresponding elemental themes.
When fighting fire metins, you should consider the following points:
- Elemental Damage: Fire metins have resistance to fire magic. Characters who primarily rely on fire damage should adjust their skill selection.
- Guardian Mobs: The spawned guardians are also fiery and can be dangerous if underestimated.
- Farming Efficiency: Fire metins are a popular farming target as they appear regularly on various maps.
The Metin Calling Scroll: Summoning on Command
An important game mechanic surrounding metins is the metin calling scroll. With this scroll, players can deliberately summon metins at a desired location instead of waiting for natural respawn times. There are three different variants of the calling scroll, which presumably differ in the difficulty level of the summoned metin.
The calling scroll is particularly useful for:
- Players who want to farm specific items deliberately
- Groups who want to fight metins together
- Efficiency-focused farming without long waiting times
You should check the current Metin2 wiki for the exact properties of the three calling scroll variants, as details can change through updates. Generally speaking: choose the appropriate calling scroll for your desired metin type to achieve the best result.
The Sungma Invasion Portal and Its Metins
The Sungma invasion portal is one of the challenging play areas in Metin2, where players encounter particularly strong metins. "Sungma" is the name of evil in Metin2 lore, and the invasion portals represent its direct points of influence in the game world.
Special features of the Sungma invasion portal:
- The metins in the portal are typically stronger than standard variants on normal maps
- The portal offers increased challenge and accordingly better reward chances
- Fire metins can appear as a reinforced version in the invasion portal
- Access to the portal may depend on certain conditions
For the Sungma invasion portal, good equipment and preferably a team is recommended, as the guardian mobs here are significantly more dangerous than on normal maps.
The Event "5 Metin Rings"
In Metin2 there is a special event called "5 Metin Rings", which takes place in reference to the Olympic Games and symbolises the well-known five-rings logo. The five rings are represented by spawned metins on the game map.
Important information about the event:
- The event is divided into different level ranges – every player can participate regardless of progress
- You must find the corresponding area with the five metin rings yourself – no direct hint in the game
- The exact time frame varies by server – you can find the next date for your server in the game's event calendar
The "5 Metin Rings" event is particularly worthwhile because it offers a thematic break from the normal farming routine and can provide interesting rewards.
Tips for Efficient Metin Farming
Whether you're farming fire metins in the Sungma invasion portal or fighting normal stones on the map – with the right strategies you'll significantly increase your earnings:
- Elemental Adaptation: Adjust your build to the elemental type of the metin. Don't use fire skills against fire metins.
- Guardians First: Kill the spawned guardian mobs before focusing fully on the stone to enable uninterrupted farming.
- Use Calling Scrolls: Deploy the metin calling scroll to minimise waiting times and farm continuously.
- Group Farming: Particularly hard metins and the Sungma invasion portal can be conquered more efficiently as a team.
- Know Your Maps: Learn the spawn points on your favourite maps by heart to minimise travel distances.
- Check Event Calendar: Use events like the "5 Metin Rings" to secure additional rewards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a metin in Metin2?
Metins are stationary monsters distributed across all game maps. They do not move but summon guardian mobs when attacked. There are different elemental types (fire, water, earth, etc.) and three difficulty levels: easy, normal and hard.
What is the difference between easy, normal and hard metins?
The three difficulty levels differ in the strength of the metin and the spawned guardian mobs. Easy stones have less HP and weaker guardians, whilst hard stones are significantly more resistant and reward accordingly better.
What is the metin calling scroll?
With the metin calling scroll, players can deliberately summon metins without waiting for natural respawn times. There are three variants of the calling scroll, which differ in the difficulty level of the summoned stone.
What is the Sungma invasion portal?
The Sungma invasion portal is a special play area with reinforced metins. The stones and guardians there are stronger than on normal maps but also offer better reward chances. Good equipment and a team are recommended.
How do you fight fire metins most effectively?
Fire metins have resistance to fire damage. Therefore, use skills from other elements instead. Kill the guardian mobs first before attacking the stone itself to enable uninterrupted farming.
What is the "5 Metin Rings" event?
The event takes place in reference to the Olympic Games. Five spawned metins symbolise the five rings. The event is divided into level ranges and you must find the corresponding area yourself. You can find the exact date for your server in the event calendar.
How do I find the spawn points of fire metins?
Fire metins spawn in elementally matching areas on various maps. The exact spawn coordinates vary by map. Ask in the community or check current map guides to find the most efficient farming routes.
Is group farming worth it for metins?
For easy and normal metins, solo farming is often more efficient since loot doesn't need to be shared. For hard stones, in the Sungma invasion portal or if your character isn't strong enough yet, a team is definitely worthwhile.
