How to unlock the Skull Kabob achievement in Mortal Kombat 11 - Definitive Guide

To unlock this achievement, you will need to get a fatality against the same opponent 25 times in any of the Tower related modes; including Towers of Time or Klassic.

My recommendation is to follow these steps:
- In the main game settings, change Rounds to Win to 1. This will allow you to get a fatality in every fight.
- Go to the Klassic Tower mode, and choose Survivor (only tower where 1 round works).
- At the character screen, select any character you're comfortable playing as, and set the difficulty to Very Easy.
- Perform a fatality in this fight, by getting the opponent to the Finish Him state, and then doing the button prompt. If you're not certain what the prompts are, go to the Move List and pin it to your screen.
- Proceed to the second fight, and as soon as you gain control of your character, pause, go to Tower Select and Confirm, to start the tower again.
- Repeat this process until you perform the fatality against the first opponent of the tower until you have 25 (or more), and unlock their severed head.
- Go to the Krypt, go to the Warrior Shrine (connected to Courtyard), and place the head on the respective spike. Unlock the achievement, and gain the rewards of the chest.
Following these steps, a head can be earned in as little as 35-40 minutes. Since the character chests at the warrior shrine can also unlock victory and intro poses, this may be a decent grinding method for those interested.

Additional Notes:
- It is possible to do this using an AI fighter if you prefer.
- Leaving and returning to the Klassic Tower mode will shuffle the towers, so you may need to do this a few times to target the fighter you want if done across multiple session.
- Many users have reported that Brutalities also work, but they seem much less consistent.
- You will not get the notification of the head reward if you haven't been in the Krypt yet, however it will be your inventory once you do, if you've done the 25 fatalities.

NOTE: As of a recent patch, heads now only require 25 fatalities.

I definitely recommend doing this with Cetrion first as her head is needed in order to get her Amulet which is required in the Krypt.

Her Amulet is needed alongside Kronika's and Shinnok's Amulet in the second Kytinn Hive area (behind the door near The Pit that needs the Dragon Amulet to open).

You can easily obtain this achievement without any minute spent in the towers for now, until the patch. Just head over to icon Krypt, then press and HOLD "A" (don't release it!) until you are loaded to the Krypt, KEEP HOLDING A and go to the Warrior Shrine. When you are at the tombs of all fighters, just RELEASE A button and voila! You can repeat this step for every character to unlock Shang Tsung Treasure Room with chests ful of interesting and important stuff for further achievements (Victory, Intro).

Is there a way to check your progress? it'd be nice to see which character I already have the most fatalities against to keep my grinding to a minimum.

I don't think it's 50, personally. I think it's 25. I got the achievement last night using your method. I chose a different character to perform the fatality and it popped after my 19th time. There's NO WAY I fatalitied Frost 31 other times. 6 maybe. Trying again with another to see about when I get the severed head.

The latest patch reduced the number of fatalities to 25. On the 25th a severed head will pop up so you know when youre ready to spike it.

Is there a way to see how many fatalities you have against each character? Before I start grinding this I'd like to see who's the shortest grind I have left

As of a recent patch (I think it came out 2 weeks ago) you can now see how many fatalities you have done. For example if you go up to Frost's spike it will say (24/25) if you've done 24 fatalities on Frost and only need to do 1 more to get her head. This was extremely helpful to me as I saw I only need to do 1 more fatality on Frost for the achievement.

@GoGoActionTeam So they changed the shrines so that as you walk up to them it shows the number you need. You have to look at the model above it to see which character is represented.

I would also like to note that, while unnecessary for the achievement, it might be wise to go for Cetrion as her head provides a key for a different area in the krypt. And I believe you need any 10 heads for another section

EDIT: whoopsie someone else already said this. I should learn how to read

It's faster if you don't wait for the next fight to start. If you press B when it's in the tower climbing scene right after the fight and confirm the drop out, your taken back to the tower select screen.

For anyone that is struggling with this… make sure your opponent is NOT a DLC character. It needs to be a main one in order for this to work.

I did this with Shao Khan. In the Towers of Time there are boss towers or rather towers with solo characters that are on Hard difficulty but the konsumables make these towers rather easy. I beat him as many times as I needed and preformed a fatality on him. Just keep on doing the Fatality until his cut-off head pops up as an item. It took me around 30 minutes to get this.

Time:150 min

To unlock this achievement: You need to perform 50 fatalities with any fighter to the same opponent, to get a KRYPT KEY ITEM (Severed Head of “NAME”). So you can impale the head on the krypt later

1.Start a classic tower-SET IT UP IN EASY.
2. Chose any fighter you want and perform a fatality to the first opponent.
3. In the moment you start the second combat, push pause-menu; go to TOWER SELECT-CONFIRM TO START AGAIN THE TOWER WITH THE SAME OPPONENT.
3. PERFORM 50 FATALITIES WITH ANY FIGHTER TO THE SAME OPPONENT.
6. With “the Krypt key item”, GO to the kript to the WARRIOR SHRINE (1246,-5767).
7.Push A to impale the head.

I MADE THIS VIDEO JUST IN CASE:

In order to impale a head on the Warrior Shrine, you must perform several Fatalities on that specific character a number of times in Towers

This is one of the more time consuming trophies in the game, because you will need to utilize a specific number of fatalities against a certain character in tower battles (Klassic or Towers of Time), in this case, you will need to do around 25 to 50 fatalities against the character you want to do this trophy with.

For example, we're going to use Erron Black, whose spot in the warrior shrine is the third one on the right side (coordinates: -1096, -5475). Afterwards, you will then need to go to the towers (can be done in both the Klassic Towers and in the Towers of Time) and you will need to have him as your first opponent in the Tower you wish to do (the Survivor Tower recommended if you're playing in the Klassic Towers since all matches end in one round), as seen in the screenshot below:
 
In the event where he isn't the first opponent you fight in the tower, be sure to back out and go back until you see him as the first opponent. Afterwards, you will need to fight him and execute a fatality against him when you deplete his health in the first or second round (depending on the tower you are playing in). Once he is defeated with a fatality, you will then need to quit that tower and start again with the same character or a different one and use a fatality against him for the second time. Repeat this process until you have acquired his severed head:
 
Now that you have acquired it, you will then need to head back to the Krypt and place his head on his spot in the warrior shrine. Where you will unlock some extra items including a victory scene, brutalities, skins, and much more. It should be noted that any victories you have unlocked will count towards the Victorious trophy. In addition, if you have the severed heads for all of the base game's characters (including Shao Kahn), you will be able to unlock Shang Tsung's throne room, where you will unlock Intro sequences that can be used towards Have We Met.

Impaling a head requires you to get 25 fatalities on a specific character, and have progressed to the entrance to Goro's Lair in the Krypt. I won't explain how to get there, because it's pretty straightfoward, and the game kinda holds your hand.

The easiest way to boost the 25 fatalities is to go to klassic towers and scroll over to the endless tower. Make sure the first fight is a non-DLC character, as the DLC characters don't drop heads. Any character other than Shang Tsung, Nightwolf, Joker, Spawn, Robocop, Sheeva, Rambo, Terminator, Sindel, Mileena, Fujin, or Rain should work just fine.

Enter the tower with the intended first fighter. Beat them and do a fatality. Afterwards, load in the second fight. After it starts, pause and return to tower select. You should be able to repeat the tower with the same first fighter. Do this 25 times and you'll get the head in a notification after the fight.

Once you have the head, go to the entrence to Goro's Lair in the Krypt, and approach the spike that has the bust of the head of the character you just killed 25 times, and place it down. You should get the trophy, and a bunch of gear for the character.

In the Krypt, there is a place with pedestals of the heads of the game characters (there will be a screenshot in the additional tips).
We must impale the character's head on a stake. To get it, you need:
Perform 25 Fatalities on one character in any Towers. (the easiest way in the Classic Tower is Survivor, there is only 1 round.)

To combine with the Victorious trophy we do the following:
We put an AI fighter and let him hit 5 opponents in the Tower, in 99% of cases the AI ​​does Fatality.
We only need to restart the tower on the 6th enemy. Pause and press - Select a tower, so the order of the opponents is maintained.

Maybe it will be useful to someone (list of heads in the crypt from left to right)
Johnny Cage / Jax / Scarlet / Cetrion / Jade / Frost / Sub-Zero / Liu Kang / D'Vorah / Scorpion / Baraka / Shao Kahn / Cassie Cage
Kotal Kahn / Kun Lao / Erron Black / Kitana / Kano / Kabal / Jackie Briggs / Raiden / Geras / Collector / Sonya Blade / Noob Saibot

Guys, I confirm that ONLY Fatalities count!!! Don't repeat my mistakes, don't do brutality! I boosted the classic towers for 5 goals at once, and counted everything. As a result, I can definitely say that brutality does not count towards the score, I lost about 2 hours because of this. So I started everything with AI in 4-5 hours.

For a trophy, ONE head is enough, the trophy does not fall immediately, after 5-10 minutes, the main thing is not to leave the crypt, BUT for a trophy with five rejoicings, this is the easiest way to get them, through the heads of the characters

With the arrival of the terminator in the game, they made it convenient: now, when approaching a place of potential head impalement, they show how many fatalities you have left to do on the selected character.

I would like to add to the tips above, if your internet suddenly turns off or the game crashes, or you accidentally leave the towers, you will have to farm again because all classic towers update enemies. You need to go through 5 battles at a time, 25 times, ideally i.e. 125 battles for only 5 goals

IMPORTANT: Fatalities made online also count (got several goals while winning a trophy in 50 random battles). I can’t vouch for brutality; on some forums they write that they also count, but there are doubts.

Can be done in the Classic Tower - Survivor
My method: select the first battle (the bottom one), place the AI ​​fighter (he has 97% fatality at the end of the battle), as soon as the second battle begins, click Start - select a tower and so on in a circle up to 50 times kill the fighter we need to get his head .
I got 40, perhaps earlier fatalities from other modes were added, or maybe brutalities - I won’t assure you. So focus on fatalities.
Plus, when you put the head on, you will get the glee of the character you killed.

I found a way to quickly farm 25 heads. To do this, go to the classic towers / endless / install an AI fighter and as soon as we win the first battle and the second one has loaded, we complete the tower. This way, at the same time, you can quickly make the Master of time trophy for knocking out 250 towers. The point is that as soon as you complete a tower, the very first fighter in it remains unchanged and you can restart it an unlimited number of times until you hit 25 pieces. As soon as you make 25 fatalities, you will be given a head as a prize. You won’t miss this in any way, because you will have to press the cross to get it. Progress can always be seen in the crypt, where there are altars with pins for heads. The issue is that AI bots do not always do fatalities, especially if you are playing with one fighter. Maybe it will turn out to be brutal or the bot will finish the combo and the enemy will simply collapse. To prevent this from happening, I simply played all 25 battles with different characters. And it’s easier to count how much is left to the head, because there are only 25 characters. They get fatalities in the first battle in 95% of cases. Apparently this is written in the scripts. If you play 5 battles, there will be 3 fatalities on average. It’s very rare to get lucky with combo frames, so there’s almost always a fatality. And in the first fight it was stable. If you, like me, wanted to get a glee for a certain character (for example, a scorpion), or you have already done a lot of fatalities on someone and want to finish off this particular character, then when you exit the towers mode and enter again, the characters are updated, just exit /enter until the character you need is generated first in the tower. If someone, like me, did not recognize some of the heads in the crypt, then here is a video (rus) , video (eng) , where you can see all the heads, as well as the prizes in the chests. There is a more complete video in English and in chronological order from right/left. If you don’t farm towers, you can do it even faster by launching a survivor tower (there is only one round in battle). Which, in principle, is useful for studying the crypt, because to open the last room and all its branches you need 10/15/25 impaled heads.

Among other things, they give Setrion a key for her head. There are three in total
Another one (the Kronika key) can be obtained by donating a little gold in the altar (I got it when I paid 50k at a time)
The last key is Shinnok's amulet and must be crafted. All ingredients except the last one drop out on their own, to get the last one you need to open a flying crap for 10k souls in the forest
Not far from the forge on a wooden bridge there is a closed door that opens with the help of the MK medallion (I don’t remember the exact name)
In this room at the very bottom and you can use these keys to get into a closed location
