The Krypta in Mortal Kombat 11 is different from all the other chapters seen previously. In addition to the myriad of treasures, it is full of hidden paths, traps, special items and easter eggs that recall the titles of the past. Let's see what needs to be done to solve the various puzzles that you will encounter within the title of NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
Key Objects
Each of these objects allows you to perform particular actions within the Krypt such as opening doors, seeing invisible chests and much more. Let's go and see where the most important of them are.
Gem of the Living
When you head towards Goro's cave there will be a cutscene at the Temple of the Warrior. You will see a meteor fall and behead the Raiden statue. Smash the meteor with Shao Kahn's hammer to receive the Gem.
Motaro's broken horn
Use the Gem of the Living to open the courtyard that will take you to the crypt where you will find the short. You will need it to access the cave of Goro.
Spear of Scorpion (coordinates: -7086, -5242)
You will find the spear in the Armory but first you will need to enter Goro's cave. Use Motaro's broken horn while you are underground and then go to the small tunnel. The spear will be resting on a column in front of you. The spear can be used to knock down bodies (such as those in the Courtyard) that may threaten your Hearts. It is also used to open new paths and move platforms.
Amulet of Ermac (coordinates: -7769, -3861)
Soul Shards will be useless without Ermac's Amulet. This is to open the crypts of the Soul, remove the barriers and open new paths. To find it, go to the Lower Fossa using the elevator in the Antro di Goro (take the tunnel to the left) and watch Ermac die. Take the amulet from his body.
Kenshi's Bandage (coordinates: -6894, -12709)
Kenshi's blindfold is used to see those chests and walls that would be invisible without them. Go to the cave of Goro and take the tunnel on the right entering the cells, there you will find the bandage.
Kung Lao hat (coordinates: 6565, -1257)
You will find the hat in the Antro di Goro, on a table.
Reptile (coordinates: start at 3090, 6406)
The statue of Reptile from the first Mortal Kombat movie: go to the Torture Rooms, always passing through the Goro cave and open the gate at the coordinates indicated above. There will be a secret wall, use Kenshi's Blindfold to break it and go through it. Interact with the statue and Reptile will appear and then escape. Its next position is random but to understand where it is based on the sound you will hear wandering around the Kryptas: clapping hands. Use Kenshi's Blindfold and look around. When you find Reptile, hit him with the hammer to earn some rewards such as the Scorpion skin and other items. Some of Reptile's possible locations are at Goro's Den, the Dead Forest and where you found Ermac's body earlier.
Broken Staff (coordinates: 958, -6811)
It is obviously Raiden's staff and is used as a key to open a door in the Torture Halls. The door in question is located in the room full of spiders in Kytinn's hive. To find the staff, you'll need the Earthrealm Protector's Amulet. After getting it, go to the Raiden statue mentioned earlier. Insert the amulet into the statue and the staff will be yours.
Amulet of the Protector of the Earthrealm
The Amulet is not found in the Krypt. You will need to complete the four Tutorial Towers in the Towers of Time.
Mind of the One
It is one of the three gems used to open a door in the Antro di Goro (coordinates: 3540, -6174). To get it, complete 10 Fatalities in each Tower of Time or in the Klassike Towers.
Soul of the One
As with the Mind, complete 10 Brutalities in the Towers of Time or the Klassike Towers.
Heart of the One
You will need to complete 10 Mercies in the Towers of Time or in the Klassikes. To play the Mercy, see this guide.
Heart of the fire
After making the gems of the One your own, head to the following coordinates 3540, -6174. Open the door and you will find a chest that will require 80,000 coins to open. The chest will contain the heart of the fire that you will need to complete a puzzle. You will also have 1,000 Soul Fragments so it is useful to first open the chest and then go to the Deep to rebuild the bridge.
Dragon Key Amulet (coordinates: 7436, 3102)
Going to the Mountain Passage you will find a closed door that can only be opened with the Dragon Key Amulet. After getting Raiden's staff go to Goro's Den and head for the door at coordinates: 5277,4920. Unlock it using the stick and take the first path on the left. You will find two pendulum traps to avoid. Then reach the chest at the end of the path and use 20,000 coins to open it: there you will find the amulet.
Amulet of Shinnok
In Kytinn's Hive there is a puzzle to be unlocked using three amulets. One is that of Shinnok. To get it you will have to go to the Forge and create it, you will need the bewitched demon heart, the bewitched gem of trapped souls and the bewitched dragon eye. To unlock them we will go in order: there is a tree in the Dead Forest (coordinates: 3090, -2948) that will ask you for 10,000 Soul Fragments. Donate them and you will get the Soul Stone. The Demon Heart is a randomly obtained reward while the Dragon's Eye is obtained by killing spiders in Kytinn's Hive.
Amulet of Cetrion
The second part of the Kytinn Hive puzzle requires more artifacts. You will need to perform 50 Fatalities against Cetrion in the Klassike or Time Towers. The best way is to do them at the Klassike Survival Towers. Exit continuously until Cetrion introduces himself as the first fighter and keep beating him by performing Fatalities.
Kronika amulet
The third amulet to solve the puzzle is that of Kronika. To get it, go to the Naamkaran Temple and donate 1,000 coins.
Solutions to Puzzles
In the Krypta of Mortal Kombat 11 there are many fake walls, puzzles and places to use different objects in order to progress but by passing these tests you are rewarded properly. Here are the solutions to the various puzzles:
Entrance of the Dead Forest (coordinates: 4879, -692)
To enter the Dead Forest go to the indicated coordinates and use Shao Kahn's Hammer to break the wall.
Dead Forest Lever Puzzle (coordinates: 8603, -4467)
In this puzzle we will have to properly align the various parts of a body. There are three parts to align, if we exclude that of the skeleton (aligning it will activate a trap). Line up Sektor or the NetherRealm body to open the portal and find various chests.
Courtyard Gong (coordinates: 951, 3875)
To reach the puzzle, follow the coordinates above. You will find a fake wall, use the hammer to break it and move on. After reaching the gong hit it to open a path to the Forge.
Invisible chains in the courtyard (coordinates: -1362, -9679)
In the courtyard there will be a pylon that has several chains wrapped around it. Use Kenshi's Blindfold to reveal the chains and pull them off. You will find a treasure chest.
Dragon in the courtyard puzzle (coordinates: -5074, -7432)
This puzzle can be found in the Lower Courtyard. Form the iconic Mortal Kombat logo in this puzzle (simply use the right lever and then the left lever - avoid the middle lever altogether) to unlock the Wooden Bridge.
Wooden bridge (coordinates: -4003, -6479)
Go under the bridge, using Scorpion's spear. Aim for the chains on the roof and hit them to open a new path. Walking along it you will find a lot of chests.
The Sacrifice (coordinates: -690, -13383)
First lower the cell by pulling the lever. Put the heart of the fire in the cage and raise it again using the lever. Then hit the cage with Scorpion's spear. This will open a chest containing a Shao Kahn skin.
Rubble (coordinates: -6662, -5072)
If you have the Amulet of Ermac you will simply have to use it to climb over the rocks near the bridge and open your way.
Lower chest (coordinates: -8944, -3342)
There will be a chest covered with flames: to extinguish them use Scorpion's spear to drop the water from the upper level.
The invisible wall of the Cells
After getting Kenshi's Blindfold, go back to Goro's dining room and head to the Cells. You will find a wall that can only be noticed thanks to the blindfold. Break it and move past, finding an elevator that will take you to the courtyard.
Kytinn Hive Amulet Puzzle (coordinates: -4097, -1576)
To solve the Hive puzzle you will need the amulets. Before doing this you will have to rotate the three pylons with the levers at the coordinates above. When you notice the three empty alcoves with the various shapes, just insert the amulets in their respective pylons.
