What is the Zingrotte in Metin2?
The Zingrotte appears in the Metin2 community as a collective term, but it doesn't refer to a single, standalone dungeon area in the game. According to official wiki documentation, the term directly redirects to two different dungeons:
- 1st Floor Zingrotte → Grotto of Banishment
- 2nd Floor Zingrotte → Demon Tower
- Zingrotte (general) → Demon Tower
In practice, this means: When players or guides talk about the "Zingrotte," they mean one of these two dungeons depending on context. For solid preparation, it's worth understanding both areas separately.
Grotto of Banishment – The 1st Floor of the Zingrotte
The Grotto of Banishment is the dungeon that the so-called 1st floor of the Zingrotte refers to. It's one of the classic Metin2 dungeons, regularly visited by groups and solo players hunting for rewards.
The Grotto of Banishment is known for its specific atmosphere and associated challenges. Those wanting to tackle this part of the Zingrotte should inform themselves about access conditions, the enemies found there, and possible drops – directly via the dedicated Grotto of Banishment guide.
Tip: Within the Metin2 community, the abbreviation "GoB" is commonly used for the Grotto of Banishment. When you search in chats or forums for groups for the "1st floor," you'll recognise the direction faster with this shorthand.
Demon Tower – The 2nd Floor and the General Zingrotte Term
The Demon Tower is linked to the Zingrotte in two ways: Both the general term "Zingrotte" and the "2nd floor of the Zingrotte" redirect to this dungeon. This shows that the Demon Tower is historically or conceptually more closely associated with the Zingrotte term.
The Demon Tower is one of the most well-known dungeon contents in Metin2 and is regularly used by experienced players for farming runs and group activities. Its structure, enemy types, and expected rewards differ significantly from the Grotto of Banishment – which is why confusing the two dungeons can lead to planning errors.
Quick rule for practice: When someone mentions the "Zingrotte" without further context, they usually mean the Demon Tower.

The following table summarises the relationship between the terms concisely:
| Term | Refers to | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Zingrotte (general) | Demon Tower | Standard reference according to wiki |
| 1st Floor Zingrotte | Grotto of Banishment | First floor of the concept |
| 2nd Floor Zingrotte | Demon Tower | Second floor, also general reference |
Why Does the Zingrotte Term Confuse Players?
Many historically-grown names for dungeons, areas, and bosses circulate in the Metin2 community. The Zingrotte is a perfect example: the term has become established, but in the game itself it doesn't describe a single, accessible area with its own entrance or overview map.
Possible reasons for the confusion:
- Community jargon: Older players used "Zingrotte" as an umbrella term, newer players only know the official names.
- Wiki redirects: When you search the official wiki for "Zingrotte," you get redirected immediately – without explanation of the connection.
- Multi-level concept: The division into "1st floor" and "2nd floor" suggests the Zingrotte was originally conceived or communicated as a coherent building or dungeon with multiple levels.
For new players, it's therefore recommended: Always ask which specific dungeon your conversation partner means – or directly use the full name (Grotto of Banishment / Demon Tower).
Preparation: What You Should Know for Both Dungeons
Since the Zingrotte refers to two standalone dungeons, preparation also differs depending on your goal:
- For the Grotto of Banishment: Find out about the specific access conditions and enemy types of this dungeon. Group play can be worthwhile depending on your character level.
- For the Demon Tower: The Demon Tower has its own structure and requirements. Equipment, class, and level matter for run efficiency.
General rules for both dungeons are largely uniform in Metin2: Pack enough healing potions, prepare buffs, and – in group play – clarify roles and loot rules beforehand.
