Mortal Kombat X Krypt Unlocks, Fatalities, Brutalities and Costumes

Tired of wasting your Koins in the Krypt? Find out where the good stuff is in MKX.

If you're looking to unlock all of the items in the Mortal Kombat X Krypt or in Mortal Kombat XL, look no further. Today we're going to help you out by giving you a guide to everything the Krypt has to offer, including things like Sub-Zero's Ice Ball, Scorpion's Spear, and all the Fatalities and Brutalities you can handle.

For those that might not be familiar with the Krypt in Mortal Kombat X, it's basically a big graveyard that players can wander around in, spending Koins unlocking things with a chance at some cool rewards. Even with the odd startle and being asked to participate in a quick-time event every now and then, it won't take you long to get bored. Of course, in proper 2015 video game fashion, you could always just spend $20 and buy all of these items from the PlayStation Store or Xbox Marketplace, but where's the fun in that?

Below you'll find the various unlocks found in the Krypt, as well as the exact coordinates to ensure you aren't accidentally unlocking something you didn't intend to. When you run out of Koins or lose interest, make sure to head back to our Mortal Kombat X guide, with a full listing of all fatalities and character variants. If you're looking specifically for the Brutalities, we also have you covered with a complete list of all Brutalities in Mortal Kombat X, as well as where they can be unlocked in the Krypt.

Oh, and just so we're clear, there's always a chance we missed something or got the wrong coordinates. We'll be sure to perform some quality control and update this article until we get it 100 percent correct. For now, you should find a huge chunk of content that can help make your Mortal Kombat X experience a smooth one.

How to Unlock the Spider Tunnels

In order to unlock the Spider Tunnels in the Krypt, players will first have to get their hands on Scorpion's Spear. It can be found stuck to a tree in the Walkway of Souls (-13, 19). The second item you'll need is Sub-Zero's Ice Ball (-21, 20), which isn't that far from the spear you just picked up. To get into the Spider Tunnels (3, 9), return to Frozen Graves where you originally entered the Krypt.

How to Unlock Kotal's Kave

Kotal's Kave is unlocked by making your way to the Switch Passage. You might notice that as you get close you see some numbers on the wall, and as it turns out they are of great importance. Don't worry if you missed them, because we have them (4, 1, 3, 2) right here. Continue on to the end of the hall, using the switches in the order that we outlined. When you open the door you'll get 6,000 Koins, as well as access to Kotal's Kave.

How to Unlock Shao Khan's Tomb

In order to get inside Shao Khan's Tomb, you must grab Kotal Khan's Sword (22, 34) from Kotal's Kave. Head back out to the Switch Passage and follow it to the opposite end. You can use Kotal Khan's Sword to cut through the spider webs. Inside you'll find Kenshi's Katana (5, 30). From here you can head back to The Dead Woods, using Kenshi's Katana to enter Shao Khan's Tomb.

How to Unlock the White Lotus Temple

To unlock the White Lotus Temple you'll need to get your hands on Liu Kang's Fireball (0, 7) from Shao Khan's Tomb. Once you have that, make your way to the Cemetery Grounds, using Liu Kang's Fireball to open the White Lotus Temple and claim 6,000 Koins.

How to Unlock the NetherRealm

Before players can unlock the NetherRealm players will need to get inside the Shrine Entrance (-11, 12). In order to get inside the Shrine Entrance you'll need to get Jax's Rocket Launcher (0, 12) from Khan's Stronghold. After getting into the Shrine Entrance, approach the Shrine of the Dead and wager 10,000 Koins. This will get you the NetherRealm Kamidogu. Turn around and head back to the Frost path, at which point you can open the Nether Gate using the NetherRealm Kamidogu.

Shao Khan's Fortress Puzzle in MKX

To gain access to Shao Khan's Krypt players will need to find and activate three levers. Each of these can be found by accessing Shao Khan's Krypt by way of the portal located in Hollow Grounds.
