Metin of Gloom – Metinstone Guide | Metin2

The Metin of Gloom is a metinstone in Metin2 – a stone-like monster object that players can fight and destroy. Metinstones exist in three variants: easy, normal and hard. To deliberately summon metinstones, there are so-called metinstone summoning scrolls, of which there are three different types. Destroying a metin like the Metin of Gloom is a central part of Metin2 gameplay and the basis for daily farming of resources and experience points.

What is a Metinstone?

Metinstones are special monster objects that appear scattered across the game world of Metin2. They are not classical enemies with movement patterns, but stationary stones that take damage when attacked and drop loot and grant experience points after their destruction. The term "metinstone" is derived directly from the game name Metin2 – the metinstones are what the entire game is named after.

In the game world, metinstones appear regularly on various maps. Their difficulty level determines how much endurance and combat power a character needs to defeat them efficiently. The Metin of Gloom is one of the more well-known metin variants and is known by different names in various language versions of the game – such as "Metin de l'Obscurité" (French), "Metin Mroku" (Polish) or "Metin delle Tenebre" (Italian).

The Three Difficulty Levels of Metinstones

Each metin type – including Metin of Gloom – comes in three difficulty variants. This grading largely determines which character levels and classes are suited to a metin and what rewards await.

The difficulty level of a metinstone is directly tied to the recommended character strength. Hard metinstones like the hard Metin of Gloom demand significantly more from attack, defence and healing resources than their easy counterparts.

Metinstone Summoning Scroll: Summon Metins Deliberately

Besides the metinstones that spawn naturally in the game world, there are metinstone summoning scrolls. With them, players can actively summon metinstones at a location of their choice, rather than waiting for them to appear at fixed spawn points. There are a total of three different types of metinstone summoning scrolls – these correspond to the three difficulty levels easy, normal and hard.

The metinstone summoning scroll is particularly useful for players who want to farm deliberately and efficiently without taking long paths to spawn points or waiting for respawns. By using the summoning scroll, the player maintains control over the location and timing of the battle.

Advantages of the Metinstone Summoning Scroll

• Time savings: No waiting for natural respawn times
• Flexible deployment location: Summoning where it is strategically sensible
• Targeted difficulty level management: Choose the appropriate summoning scroll tier
• Group play: Party can summon a metin together and attack immediately

Metin of Gloom: Background and Special Features

The Metin of Gloom bears its name in the English version of the game due to its thematic association with darkness – a motif that runs throughout the Metin2 universe. Many metinstone variants are named after atmospheric concepts that fit the dark, Eastern fantasy-influenced game world.

In other language versions, the names reflect the same theme:

Quest: Destroy Metin of Gloom

For Metin of Gloom there is also its own quest – known in the Romanian version of the game as "Distruge Metinul Tristeții". Such metinstone quests are a fixed part of the Metin2 quest system and give players concrete tasks linked to defeating certain metinstones. Completing such quests is typically rewarded with experience points, Yang (the in-game currency) or special items.

Metinstone quests are usually assigned by NPCs (non-player characters) in the various villages and cities of the game world. They are often daily quests that encourage regular logins and set the farming objective.

Strategies for Efficient Farming of Metinstones

Farming metinstones is one of the most fundamental activities in Metin2. Here are proven approaches for battling Metin of Gloom and other metinstones:

Classes and Playstyles

Basically, all five classes in Metin2 – Warrior, Ninja, Sura, Shaman and Lycan – can farm metinstones. The efficiency depends on the respective build and equipment. Classes with high single-target damage defeat metinstones quickly, while support builds benefit from group situations.

Solo vs. Party

• Solo: Suitable for easy and normal metinstones if your own equipment is strong enough. Full loot stays with the player.
• Party: Hard metinstones can be defeated significantly faster in a well-coordinated group. However, loot is divided.

Resource Management

Take enough health potions and mana potions before farming begins. Especially with hard metinstones, the battle can take longer and cost more consumables. A well-stocked inventory avoids unnecessary backtracking.

Use Metinstone Summoning Scroll Strategically

Take the summoning scroll for the appropriate difficulty level and use it in an area without other players to avoid competition for drops. On heavily frequented maps, other players might defeat the metin that has already appeared before you do.
