This guide is to be used on Gamefaqs.com only and used with their kind permission. All tips and advice used in this guide were found through gameplay experience, no other help was given from any outside agency or distributor. ============================================================================== B: Quick Introduction ============================================================================== This game is the first in the Mortal Kombat series to take the fighting to new places and dimensions. Instead of being enclosed in some arena, you are free to travel whereever you want to whilst attacking in any direction. It also brings in a new, clearer plot to the series that wasnt so apparent in Midway's predecessors such as MK 1 and MK 2, which incidentally is where this game takes place between. Whats new and improved are several things: new enemies, new attacks, easier fatality input, enhanced enviroments and, obviously as this guide says, the introduction of Bosses. No more pounding the same enmies over again like Deadly Alliance. No. Now all your favourites and have been upgraded to bosses who have to be defeated in order to advance. But it's not easy, as many of you will know..... ============================================================================== C: Items You Will Find In The Game ============================================================================== Obviously, Midway aren't going to just leave you to do your thing with just your limbs, are they? No, they're giving you some other stuff to do that with. HEALTH-UPS .......... These come in small, medium and large, but no fries or a McFlurry....Small gives you back about a quarter of a full bar, Medium gives back a half, and a Large (which is so rare there's only about 2 or 3 in the whole game) give you a full refill of health. To find these, just break small objects like piles of bones or small statues. EXP. .... This stands for Experience Points. These also come in 3 sizes: 50 EXP, 100 EXP and 400 EXP, the latter only found after a Boss is defeated. There are several combinations of EXP. totals to get, but that invovles performing huge combos. The 3 sizes of EXP are items that, like Health-ups, are commonly found in small breakable objects throughout the game. Here's a hint though: Find Kabal and he will leave behind 500 EXP items. EXP serves as a kind of currency in the game. Get enough of it and you will be able to 'buy' new moves and combos. KOINS ..... There are several types of Koins found throughout the game: GOLD: ----- Shoot these with a projectile attack to reveal a Secret Koin SECRET/YIN YANG KOIN: --------------------- Found either by Gold Koins or just floating somewhere, collecting one of these will unlock something in the Kontent section of the Main Menu. Be warned that some Secrets are only accessible in Ko-op Mode. When and where I can remember, I will tell you how to get the Secret Koin in each area. If not, then I strongly recommend The Secrets FAQ by Serphium. RED/BLOOD KOIN: --------------- There are only 3 in the game, but they give your character 1 Fatality, 1 Brutality and 1 Multality. The Secret Koins unlock more of each as you find them, so if you want more methods of FINISHING HIM!, then get searching. FLAMING KOIN: ------------- These give your character a new ability needed to progress in the game. These are most commonly found after a Boss has been defeated, but there is 1 found by itself in a certain area (I'll talk about that in the guide) VICTORY KOINS: -------------- Found only after a Boss is defeated, collecting 5 will allow you access to the final area of the game. GREEN KOIN: ----------- These are rare (4 in total) but they are a blessing whwn you get them as they provide a permanent health boost that re-charges your health AND lengthens your health bar overall so you can take more punishment before you die. BLUE KOIN: ---------- Only found at the very start, these will help you get to grips with the basics. WEAPONS ....... There are several of these hidden in the game, and all are SWEET! They cannot be blocked by regular enemies and provide a helluva lot of damage.....the only setback is that you yourself cannot block enemy attacks while holding a weapon. If this proves too much of a problem, then throw the weapon and impale any foe nearby. PORTALS ....... Jump in, go for a ride, come back out at some other place. Simple. ============================================================================== D: Controls ============================================================================== Left Analog Stick: Moves your character in the direction it points Right Analog Stick: Moves the camera, changes view when clicked inwards Directional Pad: Toggles the Mini-Map, required to perform Fatalities X: Jump, Test Your Might Button []: Quick Attacks Triangle: Launching Attacks O: Powerful Attacks, Fist of Ruin, Test Your Might Button L1: Fatality Stunner L2: Lock on to enemy/ Block R1: Hold + attack to make another attack R2: Throw enemies, Interact with Environment Select Button: Pause Menu/ Options Menu Start Button: Attack List/ World Map MINI-MAP KEY ............ Grey area: The area you are in Blue/Red Arrow: You/ Your Ko-op Partner MK Dragon: Save Point Key: Puzzle that needs to be solved Blue Door: Exits/ Entrances to other areas FATALITY STUNNER ................ To instantly kill an enemy/ finish off a Boss, Pressing L1 makes your character stun the enemy/ Boss ready for a Fatality, Brutality or Multality. A Boss will have a pre-set combination to carry out, but regular enemies are susceptible to all 3 finishing moves, but require a code you must remember. FATALITY ........ Ah, you can't beat the best can you? Performing this will kill the Boss you are facing, or kill a single enemy (the one you hit with the Stunner). Uses a single meter of blood. MULTALITY ......... Kills all enmies within a certain radius of you, but uses up 2 full meters of blood in the ball next to your health bar. BRUTALITY ......... Enables your character to go nuts and kill brutally (Hint: O button is fun) but it does require 3 completely full/ maximum blood meter, so using it will drain your ability to do a Fatality for a while. BLOOD METER ........... Performing combos slowly fill it with blood, and when full allows your character to perform a Fatality. *For all -alities, when the FINISH HIM screen appears, each ality consists of a 5 button sequence. Each sequence is always a random selection of directional buttons ( UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT) and Square, Triangle or Circle as the 5th key. Square is for Fatalities, Triangle for Multalities and Circle for Brutalities. SAVE POINTS ........... Like the name implies, they allow you to save your game whenever you find a statue with the shining light in its hands. If things get really desparate, they also give a full health replenshment whenever you interact with them. ============================================================================== E: The Walkthrough ============================================================================== * For information on Bosses, please refer to my Boss FAQ on the same page. ** For the length of this guide I will use Liu Kang as the fighter, but if you are using Kung Lao, then don't worry as attack-wise they are almost identical. *** Check the Attack List every now and then, a message will tell you when you can purchase new attacks. IT BEGINS...... ============================================================================== %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% GORO'S LAIR %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 10+ Oni When you first begin, you will be stuck in Goro's Lair, with not much around you to help either. Look for the Blue Koin and an FMV will play. When it ends, you will get the chance to get used to the movements and attacks Liu has. The Oni are the easiest enemies in the game so do not worry. * Throw an enemy into the chained skeleton on the wall for a Secret Koin After enough practice and defeating all of the Oni, head into the second room. There you will get to practice blocking, multi-kombat and weapons practice. Defeat all the enemies to unlock the Exit. Well done on beating your first area! Wasn't too bad was it? YES?! Good Luck with the rest of the game....:-) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 6 Oni Hmm, some dumb Oni, throw attacks, and the infamous Pit arena spikes right next to you.....do what comes naturally :-) Break the pile of skulls to get some health or EXP then jump onto the wall. Run along, take out the Oni, then head left before climbing onto another wall. Run along it and jump from platform to platform before reaching the very top. Break the piles of bones for more stuff then head along the infamous Pit bridge. A mysterious kombatant awaits, but he will return later......throw the 3 Oni off the bridge for a cool FMV then head towards the Exit. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 3 Oni (more if all 3 are killed before Fatality process) As you enter, you'll see the first Red Koin in the centre. Collect it and read Raiden's words. Do as he says and perform combos on the Oni that appear. The bigger the combo, the quicker the meter fills. When it only allows you to push L1, use the Stunner on an Oni and go from there. Fun wasn't it? Before you finish off the last Oni, maybe 2, read this hint, then head towards the Exit. *Launch an enemy into the chandelier for a Secret ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 4 Oni When the FMV ends and the Oni start attacking, head left and read the Blue Koin and its advice. Throw an Oni into the wall to break it, then finish off the others to gain a bit more EXP., then leave through the broken wall. Easy so far isn't it? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: X Oni , Oni Warlord BOSS, 2 Masked Guards Save at the Save Point using R2, you may possibly need it. Head left and watch the FMV of the unfortunate Oni, the head into the Pit for your first Boss. When he dies and you've grabbed the Koin, head left and climb the platforms, run along the wall and then Long Jump (R1+X) to cross the gap. Climb the other platforms, and Long jump again across the bridge. *On the other side of the bridge, go towards the bottom corner and use the camera to look for a Secret Koin. Cross the small wooden bridge to trigger the next FMV. Now you have a choice: Either save the Fatality and throw both over the bridge, or use one and the other. If you wish, you can fight both to the death, just remember to block their attacks first to knock them off balance before you go in. Deal with them and the Portal out of there will open. Jump inside. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% WU-SHI ACADEMY %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 7 Tarkata (+ 2 that constantly re-spawn in the same place), 2 Masked Guards Well that was an almost pointless FMV......as soon as you start, break the small stone object to your right in case it holds anything. When you move forwards, you will encounter 3 Tarkata. I'd recommend killing 2 and throwing the other into the spikes in case of health problems. When you see the large stone canopy, break the 2 objects on either side before going underneath as it will collapse on top of you and you need to be quick to not get hurt. Climb up to the top then watch the Tarkata have fun with the monk in the catapult. At moment, there isnt any rush, so throw both, or launch them, into the catapults for some fun. Head right to the Masked Guard, and try to *throw him into the 3rd catapult along this path. Doing so unlocks another Secret Koin. Head back to the clearing where the 2 Tarkata were and climb up the 2 steps and then head right. Throw the Tarkata into the pile of boulders to clear the path ahead. Return to that place and you will eventually see a 4th catapult. Here you NEED to throw the single Tarkata into it, as it breaks the wooden barricade that was up the top. Head back to the barricade, where 2 Tarkata appear. Throw one into the boulder pile and then deal with the other one. Head AGAIN back to the 4th catapult where the way is now clear. Avoid the fire and spikes and then climb onto the paved wall where the Secret Koin appeared. Head along the wall to the right to find the Exit. Damn, that was a long bit...... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 10+ Tarkata Here, climb down and help Johnny Cage take care of the Tarkata down below. When they're dead, head along the path where Sonya was, and the wall will enclose, leaving you to deal with 3 more of them on your own. They aren't that hard, so beat them senseless and then head through the newly opened door. Climb up the wall where that boulder just smashed and head along the path, but for your sake look out for the boulders that hit the path, a direct hit takes away 2/3 health of yours. 3 more Tarkata will spring up while Cage is opening the door, so kepp them busy in the meantime. When the door opens, Johnny will be on the ground using another turn-wheel while more enemies are attacking, so do the same thing again. When the door opens, go back to the small alcove where those weapons were. Grab the Green Koin health power-up before getting a weapon. Head back and ignore the enemies, instead go to the bottom right corner where a path will take you to the top of that wall, with 4 pots of molten steel. Cut the ropes with the weapon and watch the Tarkata outside get their come-uppance. Go back down and through the final door to find the Exit. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: None encountered Go down the steps at the front, then head right whilst avoiding the flames to find the next place you need to be. Simple. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 3 Tarkata Go to the far-right corner whilst avoiding the inferno as best you can, as there is a Test Your Might you have to do. Press R2 to activate it, and then when the bar on the left appears, push X and O rapidly to fill the bar. As soon as it goes above the yellow line, push R1 and the T.Y.M is completed. Head back and climb onto the building with the slightly sunken roof, then onto the paths above. Go left, ignoring the Tarkata, and complete the T.Y.M again. When the water flows the Tarkata should be killed anyway. Follow the water to the next T.Y.M., then follow the subsequent water. Ignore the large statue for now, and follow the water's path again to another T.Y.M. Break that and follow the water to the end, where you must go onto the adjacent roof, then Long Jump onto the building that has the last T.Y.M and a Tarkata on top. Kill the enemy first before completing the last T.Y.M.....for now.....land back on the ground, see the FMV then go back through the door you entered to watch a longer FMV. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 2 Tarkata, 2 Masked Guards Back in this area, avoid the flames as before and follow the path all the way left. Throw the 2 Tarkata into the spikes to save time, then jump down while avoiding the 2 swinging logs. Head right where 2 Masked Guards are waiting for you, but so is a catapult....:-) Kill them and save at the Save Point before heading to the large Portal. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE PORTAL %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 2 Shadow Priests, 2 Demon Captains When you start, ignore the 2 Shadow Priests behind you and go right, When you see the path that has a section of floor missing, go along there and Long Jump the gap. 2 Demon Captains will ambush you, so deal with them quickly any way you like. Follow the path right and jump into the blue portal at the end. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% EVIL MONASTERY %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 8 Demon Archers At first, just run up the steps until the FMV cuts in. When it ends, keep to the right and up the stairs. Ignore the Demon Archers and the other stairs for now, instead stay left and you will find a T.Y.M lever. Completing it will reveal 2 spike traps on the ground floor, so jump back down to there. The Demon enemies will follow you, so lure them there, and then launch or throw one of them onto the spikes. Do the same onto the other trap and the door at the top of the room will open. Deal with any enemies that block your path..... *Shoot the Gold Koin for a Secret Koin and get the Secret Koin, then Exit through the door. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 1 Demon Handler, 2 Demon Archers This room looks a bit bare, but the reason comes to in a moment. Ignore the weapon halfway up the stairs and go to the main floor. As you approach, various types of Demon enemy appear. To escape them, throw one of them onto the row of spikes aginst the back wall, then jump onto his body to reach the floor above. Escape through the door at the end of the stairs. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 2 Demon Generals, 1 Demon Archer Here is where you encounter your first Demon Generals, and they will come back to bite you in the......never mind, they are annoying, let's put it like that. *Throw an enemy onto both hands of the Demon Buddha to find a Secret Koin Grab the Secret if you want/can, then head for the usual Exit. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 5 Shadow Priests, 10 Demon Captains, Kitana BOSS There is another Red Koin here, but before you grab it, try to Run + O kick the Shadow Priest through the window, it will help in a minute. Grab the koin and 3 Demon Captains will appear. Like before, fill the meter completely and you will be prompted to perform a Multality. Do that and head to the orange Portal guarded by the statues. See that broken column next to you? *Grab the Secret Koin on the roof. Grab the Koin and then start to ascend to the roof. Long jump the spike pit, and a wall will trap you with a Shadow Priest and 2 Demon Captains. +Note: Shadow priest cannot be thrown or Fatalitied, not can Bloody Skeletons. To save health, throw the Captains from the arena and then focus on the Priest as that way he can't give power-ups to the Captains. The wall at the back will drop. Long Jump across another pit and deal with another group of similar enemies. Do this once more and continue climbing, but watch out for the column that rolls down the path, it hurts like hell.....avoid Kitana's trap and Save at the given Point. Head to the roof to confront Kitana. Beating her will automatically take you to a new area. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: Kitana BOSS, Jade BOSS, Mileena BOSS After a lengthy FMV, the Boss fight begins, with 3 of them to take care of. After you beat them and the 2nd FMV ends, there will be a Victory Koin above the body. Grab it, and that's 1 down, 4 to go. There will be a large amount of EXP. left behind so grab those too, then start to practice the Fist of Ruin attack. When you're confident with pushing the O button several times :-), jump through the Portal at the back. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: None This is the easiest part of the Monastery. Each time you re-enter a previous arena, the wall that blocked your path before re-appears. To get rid of it, just use the Fist of Ruin on the statues that are in the centre, and the wall drops. Do the same to the rest, including the pair that guard the orange Portal from earlier and then jump into it. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE PORTAL (PORTAL....AGAIN!?) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 2 Shadow Priests When play resumes, you will be on the bottom floor. Go towards the camera and right to find a path that leads upwards. You will see 2 Shadow Priests in the background which need to be taken care of to advance. Run + O kick, or Flying Kick them into oblivion and the pathway will appear to take you to the next place. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% LIVING FOREST %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 5 Putrid Corpses, 4 Brother of Shadow After the FMV, there is another statue that needs breaking. To the front is a living tree (big face, no limbs) that needs to be fed one of the Putrid Corpses roaming around. Doing so gets you the first Hint and gets rid of the wall of thorns at the back. Go to the Save point but don't save, just kill the Corpses that are there, then go back and deal with any other enemies still around. Cross the pit of thorns and then 4 Brothers of Shadow appear. These guys are really annoying, as they attack randomly and hide underground AND they have to be beaten to advance. Hopefully you should have a Multality ready to sort them out quickly. If not, then just focus on one of them to build up the meter. When they are eventually dead, jump and go through the door on the ledge previously guarded by the wall of thorns to the right. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 2 Putrid Corpses, 2 Clay Soldiers Straight away, head left and jump the river. 2 Putrid Corpses fall from the sky of which one needs to be fed to another living tree. Do so to get the second hint, then Exit through the door you can see next to it. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 2 Clay Soldiers DO NOT STEP IN THE RIVER IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. Doing so results in giant snakes having a feast on you, so avoid the water. Use the stepping stones whilst avoiding the Clay Soldiers that come to life toreach the waterfall at the back of the area. Climb up using the ledges and then Exit through the door at the top. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: X Putrid Corpses Move to the right until the ambush of snakes appear. To clear them and the wall of thorns blocking your path, you have to throw a Putrid Corpse into a snakes path so it catches and eats it. Do this 4 times (not very hard) and the way is cleared. There is another Save Point here so use it now while you can. Climb up the wall and feed the last living tree to get the 3rd and final hint. After that, the giant stone snake mouth opens and your next move is revealed. Head inside. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: X Putrid Corpses (for Brutality purpose) Although this a plain room, there is a circle to stand in in the center. It then activates a series of immobile Clay Soldiers to rush towards you then go back where they came from. You cannot move from the circle so it requires a fair bit of good reflexes. After the easy 1st round, there is a medium 2nd round followed by the last and hardest round. It will then unlock the final Red oin which gives you the Brutality ability. Do what you have done before then head for the Exit on the right. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: None Not much along here, just plenty of statues to break and claim some EXP and health, you'll need them. *Shoot the closed arch-eye to open it and reveal a Secret Koin Head for the Exit door at the far end. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: Snake BOSS, Reptile BOSS In here is where you fight the Giant Snake and his owner, Reptile. After both their defeats, claim the EXP. scattered about the floor, then Fist of Ruin the mid-section of the snake to destroy it and reveal the now-climbable wall. Leave through the door you came in. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: None Same tunnel as before, claim some items if you want to then head back out. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: None *Destroy all the Clay Soldiers to reveal a Secret Koin Other than that, nothing here for you so just get out of there. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 2 Putris Corpses On the way back down, stand next to the living tree and climb the wall with the similar markings as the one inside the lair. Up the top is another Health Booster for you. After that, head for the Exit on the left. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 2 Clay Soldiers Avoid falling in the river as before, and head for the Exit at the bottom. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 2 Putrid Corpses, 2 Clay Soldiers Nothing here at all. Go to the Exit on the right. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 5 Putrid Corpses, 4 Brother of Shadow Avoid the Brother of Shadow enemies, but kill the Putrid Corpses for some extra EXP. Head for the Portal. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE PORTAL %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 4 Skulls, 2 Shadow Priests You see that really big wall that looks climbable? You have to climb it *SHOCKHORROR*. On the way though, 4 skulls will try to ram you off of it. The best way to avoid them is jump the instant they start to move so that you go right over them and they miss. Reach the top and there are 2 more Shadow Priests to take care of. Kill them and the entrance to the Soul Tombs appears. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% SOUL TOMBS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: None At the very start, use the camera to look left. *Hit the koin for a Secret Koin It is a very difficult shot so well done of you manage it. Other than that, approach the massive entrance and go inside. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 6 Tarkata In the hub of the whole place, there are 2 doors, red and green. I recommend going the green way first. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ GREEN PATH $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ENEMY: 8 Tarkata When you enter the room, there are 4 Tarkata that will attack you. Launch 2 of them into the ceiling, and fight the other 2 to gain EXP which you'll need at some point later. Another 3 or 4 will appear after them, so deal with them in the same fashion and the door to the right will open for you. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 3 Tarkata, 2 Putrid Corpses Ignore all of the enemies here and the left door because you can't unlock it yet. Go to the door on the right and Exit. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 8 Skulls, X Tarkata This is some weird type of gauntlet. Only jump onto the platforms after the boulders have hit, but also watch out for the pairs of skulls that attack every now and then. At the half-way point on the large platform, 2 Tarkata appear. *Launch a Tarkata into the flying creature for a Secret koin After that is another set of platforms and skulls to avoid. Dodge them and enter the entrance at the end of the gauntlet. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 1 Tarkata Out of sight is a Tarkata waiting for you, so approach him whilst blocking. When you do get within attacking range, launch him into the fan to get rid of him. A few pots hold a few bonuses so grab them if you wish, then go to the door on the right and Exit. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 4 Tarkata To get out of here, you need to launch am enemy into the spikes hanging from that wooden balcony, which is easier said than done with 3 others trying to kill you. Launch one of them but let the whole cut-scene play out or he'll still be alive afterwards. Jump on top then onto the second floor, and then follow the path to the left and Exit through the door. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 5 Tarkata Back in the large room, follow the path so you end up on the small area above the fan. 4 Tarkata will then ambush you. Make sure that ALL of them are thrown into the blades of the fan, as it will destroy the fan and a blade will lodge in the wall. Jump onto the blade and follow the small route to the large button on the floor. Step on it to release a weapon needed nearer the start, then jump back onto the floor and Exit through the stairs you entered originally by. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 8 Skulls, X Tarkata Like before, avoid the boulders and skulls that attack and make your way back across the gauntlet. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 3 Tarkata, 2 Putrid Corpses In this room, go far left and wait for the Tarkata to climb the foreground wall first before you throw him back over it. Pick up the sword that has appeared and slash the hanging bodies on either side of the door. The door is now open so go inside. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 2 Shadow Priests, X Tarkata (S.P.'s can spawn them) Wow, that's a big green ball of.....stuff......First things first, kill the Shadow Priests before anything else as they can regenerate Tarkata enemies. Kill any leftover foes and then focus on the Orb. To destroy it, you must stand right next to it and perform the Fist of Ruin about 6 times. When it has been broken, Exit. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 3 Tarkata, 2 Putrid Corpses Go through the door in the middle............yep, thats about it.... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 8 Tarkata Do the same as before, launch half of the Tarkata into the ceiling and kill the others to gain vital EXP. before leaving. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 6 Tarkata Back in the Hub, I'd save your game before moving onto the Red Path. A yellow beam of light proves you have completed that path so if it doesn't appear, its either a glitch or you haven't followed this guide very well. More likely a glitch though.....:-) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ RED PATH $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ENEMY: 3 Tarkata, 2 Putrid Corpses When you enter, there is the door you've just come from, one in the middle and one to the far left. Go to the one in the middle, dealing with any particular enemies that may get in your way. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 4 Tarkata Ignore all the Tarkata here. Long jump from the start and climb the wall to evade them. Follow the path left and Exit. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 3 Masked Guards As you can see, a running path of spikes is there to stop you, but it is very predictable timing so you shouldn't have any trouble dodging it. At the moment you can only move along one path, so jump over the spikes until you reach the safety zone and a T.Y.M lever. To succeed you must not only pull the lever when the bar is high enough but also time it so the wall crushes the Masked Guard and jams in the ground. Complete it, then head to where the wall just went down where there is another lever which works the opposite wall. Kill the guard successfully and move along the resultant path to the final lever of this area. This guard spends a little less time patrolling in the right area so be accurate with your timing. Head back, avoiding the spikes, to where the last guard was, then follow along the new path, still with spikes, until you reach the door at the end. Well desreved too after all that.... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: ??? Tarkata (too many to stand and count otherwise you'd die) Do NOT attack anyone as they will beat you to a pulp. Just peg it to the door on the opposite side to safety. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 2 Shadow Priests, 2 Tarkata In here is another T.Y.M device, but before it can be activated all of the enemies must be killed. *Shoot the Gold Koin for a Secret Koin. Try throwing an enemy through the relevant wall to get a clearer shot at it. Grab it, then launch any remaining enemies into the ceiling for instant kills. Now you can use the T.Y.M to open the door near the beginning. Complete it and leave. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: Again, don't bother counting, just say ??? Tarkata Leg it leg it leg it leg it leg it.........just don't get hit and Exit ASAP. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 3 Masked Guards Like before, avoid the spike floors but also deal with the Masked Guard that blocks your path. The other 2 can be left alone so just Exit back to the start. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 4 Tarkata To save you from damage, use this simple trick: Go to the very edge of the climbable wall then Long Jump to land directly in front of the Exit and save yourself from harm. Always works ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 3 Tarkata, 2 Putrid Corpses Back in the main area of the Red Path, simply take the left door before you get hurt by anyone. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 1 Shadow Priest, 8 Tarkata, 1 Bloody Skeleton Before going through the door on the left, kill all the enemies to gain some EXP. and break any pots for health and such. *Kill the Skeleton for a Secret Koin Use weapons on the floor to get your reward from the roaming skeleton in the background. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 3 Tarkata, Orochi Hellbeast BOSS Once inside, the Orochi Hellbeast appears. Deal with him but don't leave just yet...look in the far-right corner at the pedestal that sticks out... *Stand on the pedestal until it sinks for a Secret Koin. Now you can go. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 1 Shadow Priest, 8 Tarkata, 1 Bloody Skeleton Ignore the enemies this time round, just get out of there. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 3 Tarkata, 2 Putrid Corpses As before, go to the far-right door to avoid much damage from enemies. Or... *Throw an enemy into each iron maiden trap to reveal a Secret Koin. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 6 Tarkata Back in the Hub, Save again so you don't have to do all of that again. Where there was a wall has opened up a new area, opposite the Save Point so proceed with caution. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: Baraka BOSS Here is where you fight Baraka, who may be the most annoying Boss in the whole game, but makes it all the more fullfilling once he gets it. Beating him reveals the 3rd Victory Koin, but it is out of reach, so take the orange Portal that has appeared. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% WU-SHI ACADEMY %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 2 Tarkata Yes, you're back here once again, but not for very long. Remember where that statue in the water flow was? Go to it and break it with the Fist of Ruin. Jump down into the newly opened section and grab the Flaming koin for the Wall Run ability. Get back out of there and then back through the Portal you arrived by. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% SOUL TOMBS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: None With the new ability, Wall-Run up the wall to claim the Koin. Grab the EXP. that appears then go back through the door, not the Portal otherwise its a very long trip. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 6 Tarkata Exit the Hub by the stairs next to the Save point. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: None Go through the Portal to leave this place once and for all. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE PORTAL %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 4 Skulls, 4 Shadow Priests, 1 Demon Captain Now you're back here, jump back to the ground and go towards the big blue Portal to the left. Jump inside. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE PORTAL II %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 4 Shadow Priests, X Tarkata (S.P's can spawn them) You have to believe me on this, but first off, let a Shadow Priest spawn a Tarkata before you kill both of the purple floating people. If 2 of them are spawned it doesn't matter that much. Lure, or throw if need be, a Tarkata onto the gold MK dragon logo on the floor of the main area ahead of you. *Perform a Fatality on the MK logo for a Secret Koin With that done, go into the alcove to the right and start wall-jumping to reach the top. To the left is another alcove to wall-jump soget going. To the right on that floor are 2 Shadow Priests that have to be killed before the entrance is raised. Do your business, but quickly before they spawn enemies, then go inside. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE WASTELANDS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 3 Red Dragon Mercs, 3 Black Dragon Mercs Not much here in terms of rewards. Ignore the enemies as they tend to fight each other rather than you. Grab a sword from the ground then climb the wall next to the large metal gate. Cross the gap and then the wooden bridge. 2 Mercs will appear, 1 red, 1 Black. Take out the Red Merc, then proceed to the large pile of flesh blocking an entrance. Use the sword to get rid of it but before you enter, go back and left of the bridge to find the 3rd Health Booster Koin. Now go inside the entrance. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 10+ Elemental Knights This part can, and will, get tough. The pool of blood with Raiden's staff in it is the only way to defeat the Elemental Knights. Lure or throw as many as possible into the pool so that when the lightning strikes, they are killed. Be aware you can be hurt by the electricity too. Once all of them are dead and Raiden disappears, use the T.Y.M device on the right to open the gate in the previous area, then Exit. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 3 Red Dragon Mercs, 3 Black Dragon Mercs Go through the gate and Exit the main area. Use the Save Point for halth if you have to. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: Sub-Zero BOSS, X Bloody Skeletons Sub-Zero will attack you, but after a duel and some interference, Sub-Zero will aid you along the resultant boat trip along the river. Stick towards the middle to avoid he flames on either side that appear, and simply throw the Bloody Skeltons over the side so you gain minimal damage. At the end of the ride, use the Fist of Ruin a couple of times to break the door that Sub-Zero freezes for you, then go inside. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: X Black/Red Dragon Mercs (until the climbable wall is created) In here, simply throw all the enemies into the spiked wheel so that eventually Sub-Zero can freeze the blood and allow you to climb up to the Exit. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 2 Black Dragon Mercs (if you follow the guide) Go down to where the 2 Black Dragon Mercs are waiting. Kill 1 ONLY, and throw the other into the hole below so that they can't re-spawn any more of them. When the wall is frozen, Wall-Run along to the other side. Save for health, then go inside for a confontation. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: Goro BOSS Goro does not look happy. He'll look even worse by the end of it though. Grab the Victory Koin and you gain the Double-Jump ability. Take the resultant EXP. and get out of there. *Re-enter this room for a Secret koin ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 2 Black Dragon Mercs Back out here, look in the far corner for a Gold Koin to shoot. *Shoot the Gold koin for a Secret Koin. After claiming your reward, Long Jump over the gap and jump into the orange Portal that has appeared by the entrance. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE DEADPOOL %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: X Putrid Corpses, X Bloody Skeletons (until all hooks have been used) Its such a shame you aren't here for very long, you could have hours of fun. *Throw enough enemies into the acid to reveal a Secret Koin. After that fun, you have to launch an enemy onto the swinging hooks that hang over the pathway. There are 5 in all and sometimes they require accurate aims. Fill the spaces and another Flaming koin appears, allowing you to swing on beams. Use this ability to swing across the acid floor and reach the Exit Portal. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE PORTAL II %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 2 Shadow Priests, X Tarkata (Yeah, you know about spawning....) All thats left now is that final Victory Koin. To find it, or at least, the person in possessio of it, jump back to the floor and go left. Using your new ability, swing from beam to beam until you reach the top, where 2 Shadow Priests are waiting for you. Kill them both quickly, or if not, kill them and any spawns they make, then head into the Portal. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE NETHERREALM %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 2 Bloody Skeletons, Scorpion BOSS, Inferno Scorpion BOSS Save as soon as you arrive because you have 2 Boss fights awaiting you. Once both are out of the way, grab the final Victory Koin and the EXP generously left behind. After that its back to where you came from through the Portal. A very short area in terms of doing stuff. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE PORTAL II %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 2 Shadow Priests, X Tarkata Now you have enough Tournament Victories, the large door that was originally shut is now open. At the end of its corridor is the Portal that takes you to the final area of the game.... %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% THE FOUNDRY %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ENEMY: 3 Oni, 2 Demon Archers As soon as you arrive, it would be a good idea to save at the Save Point in the lobby. Afterwards, go right and down the tunnel. At the end is a T.Y.M that needs doing. Succeeding will unlock half of a gate you need to pass through later. Go back out and up the ramp on the left. After the FMV, go left along the corridor of the crushing pistons to the other T.Y.M in this area, as it unlocks the other half of the gate. Come back to the Save point and go forward to the double doors at the end, hopefully Exiting before the Demon Archers can get a quick shot at you. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: None In this area, you need to be careful to not get TOASTY! in the lava floor, as you need to go to the door across the lava lake to the far right corner. If you can't see it well, there is a barrel on the same pavement as the door. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: X Demon Archers/Captains (until Axe is created) See that smouldering fire in the oven? You need to throw 2 enemies into that, but for some reason it only counts Demon Captains, I'm not sure why....still, throwing all the enemies in there doesn't do anyone any harm.....except them... anyway, kill them to unlock the door and move to the next area. *UPDATE* I discovered it does NOT matter which enemy is thrown into the fire, just as long as they are thrown on top so it counts to creating the Axe in the process. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: Orochi Hellbeast BOSS, X Demon Generals for hooks (+2 on the 2nd floor) As soon as play begins, take down the Orochi Hellbeast ASAP. To advance here, throw, or preferably launch, the 2 Demon Generals onto the 2 hooks in the opposite corners of the room. Doing it reveals a climbable wall in the far- right corner. Climb up it and go right, Long-Jumping over the pool of lava to find another T.Y.M. Beat it to unlock the door in the corner in the other direction. Long-Jump back over it, avoiding the 2 other Genrals up there. For fun, throw them into the lava that's there, then Wall-Run up diagonally but avoid the spikes as well. Go through the door to move on. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 1 Demon General, 2 Demon Captains This area is pretty simple: Kill the 3 enemies to proceed (A Demon General, a Demon Captain and a Demon Archer) and unlock the door on the other side of the room. Exit through the door afterwards. *UPDATE* There isn't a Demon Archer, just another Demon Captain ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: None Following the path of the Axe, go down the steps and Long Jump back to the entrance, but go up the climbable wall to the door where the Axe is being held. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 1 Demon General, 1 Demon Captain, 1 Demon Archer The final T.Y.M in the game is here (XD YAY!) and completing it gives you axe-ess (that was really bad....) to the Axe. Grab it when it drops, then Exit before the Demons can harm you. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: NONE Go back down and through the door you originally cam through that leads back to the lobby. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ENEMY: 5 Oni, 4 Demon Archers, 2 Demon Handlers Run back to the Save Point and up the ramp before you get hurt. Turn right and you will go through the gate you unlocked earlier. Up the steps are 2 large crystals that hold the door in front of you closed. Break them by using the O smash with the Axe. After the 2nd crystal breaks, multiple enemies appear who are a little bit miffed about the expensive jewelry you just destroyed. Take them out, and then wait for the doors to open before you proceed. *UPDATE* Enemies here include 2 Demon Handlers, Archers, and 2 oni that must be killed.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ENEMY: 3 Demon Handlers

Not much here really. Climb the very long steps and into the prison cells.
In the cell on the right is Kitana. Talk to her 4 times to unlock the door to
your right. 3 Demon Handlers appear but the Axe should take care of them. Go
through.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Enemy: Kano BOSS

Defeating Kano gives you that final Health Boost and some more EXP. Exit.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ENEMY: None

Back in the cells, Save your progress befroe heading through the door at the
end. 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ENEMY: Shang Tsung BOSS, Kintaro BOSS, Shao Kahn BOSS

3 final challenges await....prepare for the end.....
