Metin2 Mount Sohan and Doyyumhwan: Mid- to High-Level Grinding

Icy Mount Sohan and lava-hot Doyyumhwan are the two maps where you spend the most time in Metin2 at mid to high levels. Monsters that give plenty of experience, Metin stones that drop skill books and the entrances to the level 100 dungeons are all on these two maps. This guide covers how to grind in Metin2's Doyyumhwan and on Mount Sohan, and which Metins and bosses to target. The information follows the official servers; Pvp servers can change monster levels, rates and drops.

How do you get to Mount Sohan and Doyyumhwan?

According to the official Turkish wiki, you can reach both maps with the Old Man or a Teleportation Ring. The Teleporter takes you to Mount Sohan even before level 60, while Doyyumhwan requires level 60. You travel between the two maps through Dragon Watcher Dolnarr, which makes it easy to combine them into one grinding route.

Grinding on Mount Sohan

Mount Sohan mixes plagued monsters in their 50s with level 62–66 ice monsters, so the map grows with you. The wiki lists the Plagued Man, Frosty Ice Man, Yeti and Ice Golem as non-aggressive; according to the official English wiki, though, some parts of the map also have monsters that attack you on their own. Plagued monsters such as the Plagued Man and the Plagued Leader can also stun you with their hits.

• Metin of Devil (55): Guarded by dark monsters. Can drop Skill Books, Soul Stones, the Book of Forgetfulness and weapons.
• Metin of Death (65): Guarded by ice monsters such as the Frosty Ice Man, the Yeti and the Ice Golem. Besides weapons such as the Flying Wizard Sword and the Unicorn Bow, it can drop Skill Books, Soul Stones, Blood Pills and Spirit Stones.
• Nine Tails (72): Spawns at random spots on the map every 2 hours and summons an Ice Golem during the fight. Can drop the Nine Tails' Chest and Soul Stones.

The Ice Land Guardian on the map takes you to Nemere's Watchtower; we cover this level 100 dungeon in our Nemere guide. The portal on Mount Sohan leads to the Ghost Forest, and from there to the Red Forest.

Grinding in Doyyumhwan

Based on the wiki's examples, Doyyumhwan's fire monsters are level 69–72. The wiki lists the Fighting Tiger Minion, Flame Ghost, Fighting Tiger and Flame Warrior as non-aggressive, so it's safe to gather as many monsters as your group can handle and cut them down.

• Metin of Murder (70): Guarded by fire monsters such as the Fighting Tiger, the Flame Ghost and the Flame Warrior. Besides weapons such as the Half Moon Sword, the Chakram and the Sun Fan, it can drop Skill Books, Soul Stones, Blood Pills and Spirit Stones.
• Flame King (73): Spawns at random spots on the map every 2 hours. Can drop the Flame King's Chest, a Treasure Scroll (Tier C) and Soul Stones.

Doyyumhwan is also the gateway to two big dungeons: the Fireland Guard takes you to the Red Dragon Fortress, open from level 100, and Dragon Watcher Dolnarr takes you to Meley's Lair, which you enter with your guild. Both maps also have ore veins such as Amethyst, Crystal and White Gold.

Tips for efficient grinding

1. Prepare for the element: On Sohan you fight ice monsters, in Doyyumhwan fire monsters. When you switch maps, review your gear accordingly.
2. Set up a Metin route: The Metins on these maps drop skill books, which makes them the most valuable part of your grind. You'll find which book drops from which Metin in our skill books guide.
3. Add the bosses to your route: Nine Tails and the Flame King spawn every 2 hours. By crossing between the maps through Dolnarr, you can check on both in the same round.
4. Watch out for stuns: The plagued monsters on Mount Sohan can stun you with their hits. Keep your potions at hand when you pull big groups.
5. Keep an eye on your level: If you fight monsters far below your level, your experience drops; if you take on monsters far above it, the risk goes up. We explain which map to move to at which level in our map guide.
