Pets in Metin2 are animal companions that accompany your character in combat and during travels without serving as a mount. The Angry Mini-Alastor belongs to this category and is playable through the pet system – a system that can be used without level restrictions, as long as the pet's level does not exceed your character's level. Those who use pets correctly benefit from additional bonuses and advantages in daily gameplay.
What is the Angry Mini-Alastor?
The Angry Mini-Alastor is a pet – a visually distinctive animal companion in Metin2. Unlike horses or other mounts, you do not ride on it. It walks beside your character and can be summoned or dismissed at any time with a seal. Depending on the pet, there may be time restrictions for activation.
Like all pets in the system, the Mini-Alastor is managed through the pet system: press P to open the pet overview, or click on the status display of your summoned pet, or use the corresponding button in the chat bar. Important: Multiple pets cannot be active simultaneously – only one at a time.
The Pet System in Metin2 – Basics
Metin2's pet system is deeper than it appears at first glance. Before you can use the Angry Mini-Alastor optimally, you should understand the core mechanics:
- No level limit for the system: The pet system can be used from the beginning of gameplay. The only restriction: the pet's level must not exceed your character's level.
- Incubator: Pet eggs are placed in the incubator via double-click or right-click. Incubation costs Yang and allows you to give the pet an individual name (4–20 characters).
- Renaming afterwards: A pet's name can be changed after incubation with the corresponding item.
- Seal system: Pets are summoned via seals and can be equipped and removed as often as desired.
Runtime – What You Need to Know
Runtime is one of the most critical aspects when handling the Angry Mini-Alastor and all other pets in the system. Here are the most important rules at a glance:
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Runtime during incubation | Random, 1–14 days (some pets up to 45 days) |
| Runtime type | Real-time, not game time |
| Refill runtime | By feeding other pets, pet eggs, or special items |
| Pet dies at runtime = 0 | Yes – must be revived with a special item |
| Age after death | Reset; revival with 80% of original age possible |
| Revival cost | Per 10 days of age, an additional item is required |
Practical tip: Runtime runs in real-time – even when you're offline. Only summon the pet when you're actively playing, and dismiss it when you take longer breaks. This preserves runtime and avoids unnecessary revival costs.
Level System for Pets – How the Mini-Alastor Levels Up
For a pet to level up, it must be actively summoned and accompany your character. Levelling occurs through two different experience sources:
| Experience Type | Share | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Normal experience (red orbs) | 90 % | Character kills monsters – pet receives experience proportionally without character EXP being deducted |
| Item experience (blue orb) | 10 % | Special items fed to the pet |
A key advantage: the experience points the pet receives are not deducted from your character's experience points. Both level simultaneously – the pet essentially levels up for free as long as it's active.
Red experience orbs have different strengths (22.5 / 45 / 67.5 / 90 % experience per orb). If you want to level your pet quickly, focus on areas where many monsters can be defeated in a short time.
Pets in Comparison – What Bonuses Do Other Companions Offer?
The Metin2 pet system offers a variety of different companions with different bonuses. To understand what you can expect from a pet like the Angry Mini-Alastor, here's a look at known pets with confirmed bonuses from wiki sources:
| Pet | Bonuses | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Fire Phoenix | No bonuses | DVD Box (unlimited duration) |
| Ice Phoenix | Not specified | 120 days |
| Jade Phoenix | +15 % magic/melee attack, 50 % chance for EXP bonus | Item Shop (15 or 120 days) |
| Bambi | +15 % magic/melee attack, +1500 HP, alternative drop | Item Shop (2 hrs, 7 or 21 days) |
| Baby Azrael | +15 % magic/melee attack, +1500 HP (from 2nd floor Demon Tower / Devil's Catacomb) | Item Shop (7 or 30 days) |
| Reindeer Calf | Alternative drop | Christmas Event / Item Shop (2 hrs or 20 days) |
Combat-oriented pets like Bambi or Baby Azrael offer concrete attack and HP bonuses – especially for players active in the Demon Tower or similar dungeons, choosing the right pet is worthwhile. Check in-game or on the official wiki page for the exact bonuses of the Angry Mini-Alastor.
Practical Tips for Daily Use of the Angry Mini-Alastor
- Only summon the pet when playing: Runtime runs in real-time – dismiss the pet during longer breaks.
- Keep runtime in check: Refill runtime promptly through other pets, pet eggs, or special items – don't wait until it reaches 0.
- Pay attention to level restrictions: The pet's level must not exceed your character's level. Level your character actively so the pet isn't held back.
- Use item experience strategically: Blue experience orbs (10 % of total EXP requirement) can be collected and then used in bulk.
- Assign a name during incubation: You can give the Angry Mini-Alastor an individual name (4–20 characters) during incubation – subsequent changes are possible but require an additional item.
- No parallel operation: Only one pet can be active at a time. Plan which pet you need when – attack bonuses for dungeons, EXP bonuses for levelling.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Angry Mini-Alastor Pet
Can I use the Angry Mini-Alastor with another pet at the same time?
No. In the Metin2 pet system, only one pet can be active at a time. You can switch pets as often as you like, but cannot operate them in parallel.
From what level can I use the pet system?
The pet system has no level restriction for entry. The only rule: the pet's level must not exceed your own character's level.
What happens if my pet's runtime drops to zero?
The pet dies and must be reactivated with a special revival item. In addition, the pet's age is reset. Revival restores 80 % of the original age; per 10 days of age, an additional item is required.
How does the Angry Mini-Alastor level up?
The pet must be actively summoned while you defeat monsters. It receives experience proportionally – without your character's EXP suffering for it. Additionally, special items (item experience) can be fed to it.
Does runtime run down when I'm not logged in?
Yes. Runtime is measured in real-time, not game time. Dismiss your pet when you go offline for longer periods to save runtime.
Can I change the name of the Angry Mini-Alastor afterwards?
Yes. During incubation in the incubator, you can assign a name (4–20 characters). Subsequent renaming is possible with the corresponding item in-game.
How do I refill my pet's runtime?
Runtime can be refilled by feeding other pets, pet eggs, or special runtime items. Keep such resources ready before runtime becomes critical.
Does my character lose experience points when the pet gains EXP?
No. The experience points the pet gains from defeating monsters are not deducted from your character's EXP. Both benefit simultaneously from monster combat.
