MMO with Companions and Pets

Companions in Metin2 — more than pets

Metin2 stands out among MMORPGs for its well-crafted companion system. While other games offer pets as pure decoration, pets in Metin2 have real gameplay significance. They fight, support, heal, and improve farming efficiency — and grow with you over time.

The companion ecosystem in Metin2 rests on two main pillars: the pet system for combat companions and the horse system for mounts with their own skills. Both systems complement each other and together provide a rich companion experience.

The Pet System — a companion for every playstyle

Pets in Metin2 are tailored to different playstyles:

For aggressive farmers

Balathor and Alastor are the first choices. Their combat skills deal additional damage and reduce the time needed to farm areas efficiently. Scrofa complements this with its loot bonus — more items per monster.

For dungeon runners

Uriel the Light Healer is indispensable during long dungeon sessions. His healing support extends survivability and allows longer runs without interruption. In challenging dungeons like Jotun-Thrym or Meley, that can make all the difference.

For mage and healer classes

Razador is a natural fit for Sura and Shaman. His magical synergies complement these classes perfectly and further amplify their strengths.

For collectors and prestige players

Nessie and Ariyoung are the most coveted rare pets. They have strong stats and serve as status symbols within the community. Owning them signals experience and dedication to the game.

The Horse System — a mount with substance

The horse in Metin2 is not a simple mount for faster travel. It is a gameplay system with real depth:

• Quest line: The horse is unlocked through a multi-stage quest line
• Upgrade system: The horse can be upgraded for better stats and new skills
• Mounted combat skills: Exclusive abilities available only while on horseback
• Mobility: Significantly faster movement across open areas
• PvP advantage: A genuine strategic edge in Kingdom-vs-Kingdom zones

Strategy: swap companions to suit the situation

What's clever about Metin2 is that you don't have to stick with just one companion. You collect pets over time and choose the right one for each activity:

• Solo farming: Scrofa for maximum loot efficiency
• Dungeon group: Uriel for healing support or Balathor for damage
• Open-world PvP: A strong combat pet combined with your horse
• Biolog Quests: A pet that supports combat in specific areas

This flexibility makes the companion system one of the most interesting aspects of Metin2. A well-stocked pet inventory is as important to experienced players as their gear.

All companions are obtainable for free

An important point for players who want to play free-to-play: most pets are available through farming or events at no cost. Pet eggs drop from monsters, events reward pets as prizes, and pets can be traded for Yang on the player market. The horse is unlocked through a free quest line. No companion requires a shop purchase.
