Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks Tips & Tricks

Baraka has four strategies while fighting. The first is just a basic one-on-one fight between the two of you. Use your best combos and juggles, but do not keep him in the air too long or he will strike you with his blades and knock you back. After fighting awhile, and when you damage him enough, a short intermission sequence will start, showing Baraka freeing some monks and lighting them on fire. He will then throw two monks at you that run around on fire. Do not get too close to them and pick them off. This will give you a small amount of health. Keep battling Baraka as before. Eventually, another intermission sequence will begin. After it ends, you must fight a projectile battle with Baraka. Use your hat as Kung Lao, your fireballs as Liu Kang, sand keep moving and evading. This round will not last very long. When you damage him enough, you will see yet another intermission sequence. Baraka goes berserk and gives you access to two weapons, which you will need to use against him. Pick up the weapon closest to you and start hacking away at Baraka. REMEMBER: You cannot block while holding your weapon. When he is sufficiently damaged, a Test Your Might occurs, and you must win to stun Baraka. While he is stunned, impale him on your sword. Next, pick up the other sword, damage him, and repeat the above steps. After you impale him the second time you can use your fatality and finish him.

Play as Liu Kang and stay out of Goro's reach. Launch your three stages of fireballs. It will take awhile, but sooner or later he will be ready for the fatality.

Inferno Scorpion has only three attacks; swinging his spear, his flame thrower mouth attack, and the raising of the flames. Dodge the raising of the flames and stay out of reach of his spear. Keep throwing fireballs. It will not take long before he is ready to be get another fatality done on him.

This is the easiest Boss battle of the game. Go up to Kintaro as Kung Lao and use your Spin attack. You will be able to get about a 6 hit combo on him before he will be able to hit you. Jump out of the way after you get about five or six hits in from the Spin attack. Continue to do this. It takes a good amount of health away from him each time you do it. He may hit you a few times but yo will still be in good shape for the final battle with Shao Khan.

Unlock Liu Kang and roll into him by running and holding Y. This will hurt him a lot. If he punches you while you are rolling into him, he gets hurt even more.

Use Kung Lao to get through the game and reach the final battle. The best way to defeat Shang Tsung is to block his first attack (he will be Sub Zero) and quickly throw your hat at him. Sometimes he will block it, but he usually falls down. Once he falls, run up to him and do your Spin attack (R + Y). Once he flies up into the air, back up slightly and get ready to block. Repeat the process until he changes into Johnny Cage. Get close enough to him so that he can attack you (usually with a Shadow Kick or Uppercut). Block the attack and use X repeatedly to do a fast attack to stun him. Once he is stunned, quickly do the Spin attack to launch him into the air again. As long as he is Johnny Cage, you can keep using this method. Once he changes back to Shang Tsung, go back to blocking his fire balls, throwing your hat, and using the Spin attack on him while he is down. Once he changes to Reptile, you can do a Flying Kick and if you repeatedly press X, you will do multiple kicks in a combination. As Reptile, he will not block the attack. He will disappear into a puff of smoke. As soon as he reappears, do another flying kick and repeatedly press X to do the multi-kick combo. You can do this until Shang Tsung is dead.

As Jung Lao, stay on the outside of Shao Khan, throwing your hat at him whenever you get a chance. Use the long jump to your advantage. This helps you get to the other side of the arena faster. Dodge his fireballs and keep sending the hat. It will draw a 2 to 3-hit combo on him each time. Once his health is about half way down he will pull out the hammer. Continue to fight him as done earlier. Once he goes into his Spin attack with the hammer, use your long jump to stay out of his way. Long jump as far away from him as possible, then run away from him. He will get dizzy and drop to one knee. Go up to Kintaro's head, pick it up, and hit Shao Khan in his back with it. This will take away a nice amount of health. Continue to do this until he is dead.

This trick requires a full level 3 fatality meter. As soon as the battle begins, approach one of the Tarkatans (or Demon Generals if you are fighting the one in the Foundry). Hit them with the Fatality Stunner and perform a Brutality. While in Brutality mode, keep attacking the Hellbeast with quick attacks, which will deal huge amounts of damage to it. It will be dead within a few seconds.

Go to the second door guarded by the living clay statues, the one after the thin river and next to the grappling living tree. Destroy the soldiers' shield first and throw them into the sealed tomb door. Go through the opening and follow the path to find Smoke, who will issue five missions for you to complete. Once you have completed a mission, return to Smoke and he will issue the next one. After finishing all five quests you will unlock Mortal Kombat 2 in the Kontent menu.

Before you can enter the door with a Snake Head, you must discover the three hints. To find them, grab and throw an enemy into the mouth of the Living Tree (big tree with a face). There are three Living Trees in the Living Forest. The first is before the statue that you can save on. The second is beside the door on the map where you can find Reptile's Yingyang. The third is on the right side of the door with the Snake Head.
