STORYLINE
************

Thousands of years ago, Shinnok existed as an Elder God. The Elder Gods are the true rulers of all realms. They watch as worlds are created and destroyed and govern the realms with untold eons of wisdom. Shinnok, however, gave in to greed and illusions of false power by the new realm of Earth. If he could have that realm to himself, he would have power unmatched. He first would have to face the young god of thunder known as Raiden, who was appointed as Earth's guardian by the Elder Gods themselves. Their battle for the realm of Earth was fierce, causing the planets near destruction and plunging it into centuries of darkness. But, the thunder god eventually won as Shinnok's overconfidence proved to be his undoing.

Raiden discovered that Shinnok entered the realm through the powers of a mystical amulet. It allowed Shinnok to enter the realm without challenge and keep the other Elder Gods from intervening. The amulet could only be created once, and Raiden stripped it from Shinnok's possession. With the aid of the true Elder Gods, Raiden banished the fallen god into a place known as the Netherealm. Determined to keep the amulet from ever falling into the wrong hands, Rayden buried it deep within the mountains of China. He created a massive temple within the mountain to house the amulet and appointed four immortal guardians to keep watch. As long as the amulet remained on Earth, Shinnok would be trapped, forced to remain dormant for the rest of eternity.

LEVEL 1
*********

1)You start off by seeing Sub-Zero jumping through a window. Scorpion is standing there and he says “You will fail”, then he laughs and runs off. Go to your right and through the door into the next room, there are two monks, kill them (Use combos to defeat them so you will earn experience points)

2)Walk through the corridor, take the herbal healer.

3)Walk through the next corridor and take the tablet of truth and follow the tablets instructions to pass the 2 pillars to your right, then proceed through the door into the next room.

4)There you will fight a monk, after defeat him take the herbal healer and then beat another monk.

5)Walk out onto the balcony and take the tablet of truth and follow these instructions to make a safe landing on the ground which is a checkpoint.

6)Walk to your right and take the herbal healer (use if necessary) By now you should
have the power to throw ice and do the slide. Walk to your left and into the building where you
will fight a monk. Keep going to your left into the door and fight another monk. Walk back to your
right and then left to find 2 more monks before going on. After killing 4 or 5 monks, proceed
carefully to your left into the room with the pillars.

7)Trip the first and run just past it stopping on the middle square on the floor. Trip the next pillar, then run past it. (You may have to fight another monk). Go to your left into the next room and kill the monk then take the herbal healer that is near the rope (Don’t climb it!!). Keep going to your left into the next corridor and kill the monk.

8)Go left through the door and into the next room. There you will meet Scorpion and he says: “The map is mine Sub-Zero.” Now beat him using freezes and combos. When you beat him, the MK voice will say “Finish Him”. Do so!

9)Go to the platform to your left and take the tablet of truth. Take the map, when you do a door will open in the tower. Go back to your right to the room with the rope and climb it. When you get to the top, face the right and jump onto the angled rope and slide down

LEVEL 2
*********

1)Go in the cave and kill the monk. Walk to your right and take the table of truth. When you see the debris blowing up through the gap, jump to the right and the gust of wind will take you to the next platform. Jump and grab the next platform and pull yourself up. Kill the monk. Then jump down to the next platform and wait for a gust of wind. Jump right and it will take you up to the next
platform. Walk right until you get to the next gap.

2) Jump to the next platform,but instead of killing the monk, immediately jump to the next platform because this one is crumbling. On the next platform, don’t worry about the potion, jump to the next platform because this one is crumbling too. Jump right to the next platform and take the herbal healer. Then jump to the next platform and kill the monk. Proceed to the next platform and kill the monk. (this is a check point).

3)Take the table of truth. (This part is tricky, it may take a few times falling to get the timing
right.) After you clear all the rotating windmills, walk across the bridge until you get to the next
gap. Take the wind gust to the next platform, but be quick, because the platform is crumbling.
Then jump on the ropes and transfer across them until the last one. Take the wind gust up to the
next platforms. Go left and follow the platforms all the way up to get a key. (this is a checkpoint).

4)Then proceed right. Go across the bridge and kill the monk. Go right to the next platform and kill
the monk. Take the wind gusts to the next 2 platforms. While on the circle on this platform, use the
wind icon key. Jump into the wind tunnel, but don’t let it take you too high up, direct yourself to
the platform just across the screen at the bottom. Go onto the next platform, walk on the bridge
and let it fall (you will lose a small piece of energy). There is a key and a check point on the little
platform to your left. After getting the key, go back to the wind tunnel and take it all the way up
and to the right. Use the key to open the door. Fight a monk then take the tablet of truth.

5)Follow the directions on the tablet and then take the key. As soon as you take the key, run quickly to you left and back out the door, because it activates a fan that will drag you in and kill you. Kill the monk and then go back to the ledge. (check point).

6)Carefully go back down the wind tunnel to the platform on the right. Proceed to your right and up on the next platform. Jump into the cave looking platform, then jump to the next platform and kill the monk. Now for some tricky jumping. Make it across these swings the best you can. After you make it past the swings, use the key to open the door.

7)Proceed across the platforms to your right, but be quick, because they are crumbling. Now you are at more swings, jump across these and then jump across to the next platform and kill the 2 monks. Jump to the next platform (check point).

8)Maneuver across a few more rotating windmills ,then jump to the next platform. Go right across the swing and up on the next platform and kill the monk. Go to the next platform and let the gust of wind take you up.

9)Now you face off with Fujin. After you beat him, get as far left as possible. When the wind starts pulling you in, run the opposite way until the wind stops.

LEVEL 3
*********

1)Right away, a monk will attack, beat him and then go right. A crevice will appear in the ground,
jump over it and go right. Jump through the 2 mechanical crushers, then take the table of truth.
Jump past the mechanical crushers and fall into the hole. Take all the goodies, then let the spring
throw you back up. Go to your right.

2)When you get to the swinging axes, stop. Jump 3 times to get past these (time your jumps carefully). Cross the hole with the rope (do not go down it yet!). Time your jump so you miss the swinging ax on the other side. Then jump through the mechanical crushers and over the developing crevice.

3)The next part is tricky, you have to get between the 2 swinging axes to get the key, but make sure that the crevice is closed before you try and get it.

4)Once you have the key, go to your right. Jump through the first mechanical crusher and get the
potion, then go back left and to the shaft with the rope. Climb down the rope quickly and use the
key to open the door at the bottom (be quick or get crushed). Walk through the door (check
point).

5)You will then meet up with 2 monks, fight and kill them. Go to your right to the mechanical
spring. Let it throw you up and to the left. Take the Dit Dow formula. Jump through the mechanical
crusher and get the table of truth. Fall down in the hole to one side or the other and take both of
the herbal healers, then fall down to the bottom level. Take the spring back up but this time go to
the right. Watch out for the meditating monks! Jump the monk and the crevice and stop where you
see a rope hanging. Turn and face left and freeze the monk just as he is in transition. Face right and
do the same to the other meditating monk. Then jump the crevice and proceed to the right.

6)Go through the door, and there you will meet the Earth God. To beat him you need to slide between his legs then run to the right and get the tablet of truth. Follow these directions and you should have him after a few drops!!

7)After you beat him, pull the skull switch one more time and run quickly and
jump on the chained platform. Ride it to the top and grab the key, then ride it back to the floor. Go
to your left to where the rope is hanging, while standing under it, use the key that you just picked
up to open the door. Climb the rope all the way to the top and go left. (Be careful not to get hit by
the mechanical crusher). After going through the 2 mechanical crushers, go left. Jump past the 2
swinging axes and over the crevice. Jump the next crevice and then jump through the crusher, then
past the swinging ax to the circle on the ground. (check point).

8)Go left past the swinging axes until you get to the mechanical spring. Jump on that and let it throw you up into the cavern. Go up to the right and beat the meditating monk. Take the key and fall in the hole. Take the spring back up to the other side of the gate. There you will find a monk. Beat him and take the eye of invisibility. Jump across the hole with the rope. Go past all the swinging axes and crevices. Jump through the mechanical crushers and take all the potions. Go back left and go up the rope. Jump off the rope to your right and fight all the monks.

Go left (watch out for the electric eels). Then go down the rope to the bottom and go left. Fight the monk. Use the key to open the door, then go in.

4)Jump on the platform in the middle of the room. Wait as the room fills with water.
When you float all the way to the left, jump off into the opening. Take the key (check point).

5)Get back on the platform and ride it back to the bottom as the room drains. Then go right out the door and up the rope. Go to your right (watch for the eels again). Climb the rope. Go right and climb the next rope. Go right from there and climb the next rope up to the first opening. Go right.

6)This part is tricky, before using the key to open the door, face left. As soon as you open the door, run left. Just before you get to the door, perform Sub-Zero’s slide. Make sure you catch the rope after sliding out the door. You will then see a cinematic showing water draining into another room). Now, go down the rope. Go back to your left and down that rope. Go left at the first opening. Then go down the first rope to the first opening and go right. Wait for the floating platform and jump on it and ride to the other side. Jump right, into the opening.

LEVEL 5
*********

1)Start by grabbing the potion, then go right. Watch out for the really quick monk (sweeps work
good against these lightning fast Buddhists). Then go right. Beat the big monk and continue right.
Jump the first fire pit and grab the urn of vitality, then jump the next fire pit. Jump up on the 2nd
platform and grab the herbal healer. Then jump back down to the left on the first platform. Pull the
skull switch and then quickly go right across the platforms and jump on the one that’s moving up.
Grab the key (check point).

2)Go right into the building and jump across the fire pits (watch for the spiked logs). Continue right and fight the quick monk. Then go right and fight the big monk. Continue right into the building and fight another quick monk. Jump the fire pits and fight a big monk; continue right. Climb down the rope and go left over the fire pits. Grab the herbal healer and the shield of invincibility. Climb down the rope and go left. At the far left, grab the key (check point).

3)Go right and grab the urn. Go back up the rope and go right over the fire pits. Climb that rope and go right. Jump on the chained platform and go across all three (there is an urn on the last one).

Jump the fire pits then beat the big monk. Go right out on the bridge and fight another big monk. Continue right across the fire pits and out on a platform. Cross the platforms and go into the building and beat the quick monk.

4)(This next part is tricky). Pull the skull switch and then hurry back across the platforms and into the bottom opening. Go left and grab the key (check point).

5)Now, pull the skull switch and run back across the platforms and jump on the last one (be quick, because it is on the rise). Ride it up and go right into the building and fight the quick monk. Then go right and use any key to open the door (you must have all 3 in order to get in).

6)There you will meet the Fire God. It doesn’t seem as though you are able to freeze him, so use your skills as a fighter to defeat the Fire God. Now off to the Prison of Souls!!!!! (but only if you are on at least the normal level).

LEVEL 6
*********

1)Sub-Zero will jump out of the portal that Rayden created. Quan Chi is there for a split second,
then he vanishes. Go right and out the door. There waiting will be a guard. (these guards have
staffs that shoot lasers and are much harder to beat). After you beat the guard, go right. Take the
potion and fight another guard. Wait for a third guard to show up, then beat him. Jump past the
first mallet. Then jump past the next one and kick the guard on the way down. (hopefully the mallet
will crush him, but if not, beat him). Jump past the last mallet and go right. Beat one more guard
and grab the herbs. Go into the door (check point).

2)Fight the two unarmed guards that are in the room. Go right and out the door. Outside there is a guard with a laser staff, beat him. Go right and wait for the electric fence to stop, then jump over it. Fight the next guard and jump over the last electric fence. Grab the herbs and go right. Sub-Zero will start running and will get beat down by two guards and a huge guard with a saw blade for an arm. You will now see a cinematic with Sub-Zero in prison with Shinnok! Now the quest continues.

3)Go right and out the door. When the door opens there is a guard waiting for you that has a large laser cannon, beat him. Go right across the platforms and face off with another cannon packing guard. Continue right. Drop down on the first platform and grab the herbs. Then jump up on the platform to the right and jump past the large mallets. Fight the guard that’s waiting. Now you have to make a big jump to your right to the next platform. Beat the guard that is there and take the Level 1 key. (check point).

4)Make the big jump back to the platform to your left. Stand on the elevator. Hold the use button and hit HK to activate the elevator. Take it up to Level 1. Go right and beat the guard. Grab the herbs and continue right. At the far right of the platform you will find the Level 2 key, take it. (check point).

5)Jump right to the elevator and take it up to Level 2. Now you must face off against the huge guard with the saw blade on his arm!! Use the Dit Dow Formula (and any other resources that you may need) so you won’t take as much damage. TIP: Run up to him and hit HK then immediately slide between his legs, do this until he goes down.) Once you beat him, grab the Level 3 key and go back left.

6)Jump on the elevator and then jump across to the platform on the left. Go left and take the elevator down. Continue left past the large mallets until you get to the next elevator. Take it all the way to the top, then go right to the next elevator (you may have to fight some guards on the way). Take the elevator up the Level 3. Beat the guard to your left and take the Urn of Strength. Go back
down and go right. Continue until you get back to where you fought the huge “saw blade” guard.
Jump on the elevator at the right and take it up to Level 3. Go right to the end of the platform. Use
the Urn of Strength, and jump kick the large statue on the right. It will fall over and Sub-Zero will
run up it.

LEVEL 7
*********

1)Go right and fight the three guards. Go to the end of the platform and jump down to the lower
level. Go the left and jump to the next platform. Then continue left down to the next platform. Go
right to the platform underneath. Continue right across the platforms until it looks like you can’t go
any further. Drop down and go left. Continue jumping across the platforms to your left. You will
now face the first Bridge Keeper. Once you beat him, grab the key (check point).

2)TIP: Jump kicks are very effective. Go back right and all the way up to the top. Go right to the next platform and grab the potion and the herbs. Jump to the next platform. Now you must face off against the second Bridge Keeper. When you have defeated him, grab the key (check point).

3)TIP: Use the same method that you used on the “saw blade” guard to beat him. Go right and drop down to the small platform directly underneath and grab the potion. Now, go right, make sure to completely clear these swinging blades when you are jumping. Jump to the next platform and fight the guard. Jump to the next platform on your right and then up to the next one. (I have not figured out how to get on the higher platforms on the left). Now, it is time to face off with the third Bridge Keeper. (This one is tougher than the previous ones, so use your resources wisely). When you beat him, all you get is an Urn of Vitality, but never the less, grab it. (check point).

4)Go right and jump to the lower platform (be careful of the two guards, they will gang up on you). Beat them and then go right to the small platform and drop down. You will meet the fourth and final Bridge Keeper there. (He fights the same as the second Bridge Keeper). When you finish him off, you will see that final key, grab it. Now you have all three of the Fortress Icons, onward to Shinnok’s Fortress. (check point). Go to your right and jump on the platform. Ride it up and go right. Jump to the small platform, then jump to the next one (when you land, run and jump to the next platform quickly; you will see why). Jump to the next platform and then do the same thing again. When you jump up to the next platform, there are two armed guards waiting. Do the Super Slide to disarm them, then beat them. Continue right and fight the next guard.

5)Jump over the first two sets of swinging axes and duck until the guard takes a break from shooting. Jump across the next swinging ax and beat the guard. Continue right. Jump across to the next platform and beat the guard that is waiting. Jump over the next three sets of swinging axes and then over to the next platform. Finish off the last guard that is waiting and go to the far right. You are now at Shinnok’s Fortress. Use a key to enter. (you must have all three or you will not be able to go in).

LEVEL 8
*********

1)There are many guards in this labyrinth of a level, you may choose to fight them, or simply jump
over them and avoid confrontation! Go right to the first elevator and go up. Go left past the
elevator and into the door. Fight a female warrior named Kia. Beat her and take her crystal. Go
back down to the ground floor and go right. Go up the next elevator. Go right and grab the herbs.
Go left past the elevator and grab the herbs. Go back right to the elevator. Go up that elevator and

3)Go down and go left to the elevator. Go down and right to the first elevator. Go down and go right to the second elevator. Go up and go right to the elevator. Go up and left past the elevator and grab the herbs. Go back right to the elevator up to the top. Place Sareena’s Crystal there. You will now use Quan Chi’s teleporter. You are treated to a short cinematic, then you square off against Quan Chi (but you are not alone!).

4)With Quan Chi defeated, it is time for Shinnok to finally step in. Now face off against Shinnok! TIP: When Shinnok is about to shoot a fireball, freeze him. Then run and teleport behind him and freeze him again. Run up to him and take his amulet!! Then you will see him morph into a giant demon,run through the portal that appears on the bridge and when you cross it Rayden will be waiting.....
