How to unlock the Luck Be A Lady achievement in Mortal Kombat - Definitive Guide

This achievement is based on luck. No skill is required to get it.

Go into the Test Your Luck in the Fight section and select any fighter you wish. When the fight is getting prepared youll see a slot machine with 4 cases. The first one is youre opponent so do not worry about this one. You need to get 3 golden dragon coins in the next 3 (wich are for the random modifier for the fight like Headless or no special). If you see that you get something that is not a golden coin just press start and select retry and do it again. As soon as the 3 coins pop so is the achievement so no need to actually do the fight.

I do not think the sex of the character or how often you use it will matter. Got the achievement with Jade when i never actually played her and got also 3 coins with Scorpion who i have more than 3 hours of gameplay with at the moment i wrote this.

No skill is not require to get it. If you do the trick of the other guy then yes, THAT solution require skill. But if you do not have skill at pressing buttons at the right time you can still get it by pure luck alone and wait for the 3 reels to show the coins.

I have tried the X, Y, B strategy 4 times now, and it hasn't worked once. And yes, I know how to count to 7. Every time, the first one would stop on it, but that's it. One time I got the 3rd one also

the x7 thing does work but only if the coins are on the reel every time i seen the coin and press the button 7 times it comes up. The trouble im having is there isnt always a code coin on the reel

Honestly i don't think it's quite fair to make this an achievement, there have been many many many times when i had all 3 coins in the reels but they never connected with together.... I can't explain how pissed off i get when that happens; especially when you get 2/3 coins

This achievement has an element of luck, but if you use comment 3's method it does work. The term "skill" has been used loosely by a few individuals commenting on here, it's fairly simple to hit the "x,y,b" several times before the wheels stop spinning. If you choose to use the luck method on the other hand, it'll take you a very long time indeed.

I've down voted your solution because the first sentence implies you cannot affect the outcome of the slot machine. Which is incorrect.

The XYB thing DOES work. I just tested it on 3 separate accounts including my main. It also works on matches where you don't have 3 koins for any slots that do have em.

The X,Y,B thing didn't work at first for me, but then I realized that the "Coin" slot doesn't appear on all the matches. When you start, spin the character reel and check there are "Coin" slots on the next 3. If there are, then Do the 7 X's, 7 Y's and 7 B's technique. Once all three coins were available, the X,Y,B technique got the achievement for both myself and my Alt. account.

I can't comment on if the coins being visible at the start influences it at all.

The 4 reels Test Your Luck is always open from the start. Just tested it on a new account and it is 4. I cannot confirm if the number of reel can go higher in the mode since i am not at a point in the tower where i saw more . But for your information the first time you see it at 4 in the Tower is at the 54th floor. Hope this help.

Anyone having trouble with this should button mash X,Y and B respectively. The first time the 3 coins showed up this worked for me. Pressing X,Y,B 7 times didn’t get me the coins when I tried this the other day. Yes you could press no buttons and wait around for hours but I think it’s pretty clear here that pressing XYB has something to do with it. I literally saw the reel skip to the coin, almost like the animation was off, when I got the achievement. Neg vote for the lack of XYB mention.. sorry.. it’s just that waiting around for luck when you can press buttons and get the achievement in 5mins is a bit silly.

Skill is indeed required to unlock this achievement. As soon as the first wheel stops rolling and reveals which character you'll be fighting, you must press X seven times before the next wheel stops rolling. You must then press Y seven times before the 3rd wheel stops and then press B seven times before the final wheel stops. You'll get the three MK Dragon logos (which are gold koins) and instantly unlock the achievement. If you win the fight you get +200 koins, then +250 koins and finally +10,000 koins for a total of 10,450 koins.

Play as Jade on BEGINNER.

Now on the reel, there has to be one DRAGON COIN(gold coins with the MK dragon logo/emblem) on each reel except the opponent reel obviously. The coins sometimes or mostly don't even appear, making it hard and frustrating. Just restart if all of them are not there.

Once all of the coins are there, start the reel and hold up on the d-pad, and when the second reel spins(I'm considering the opponent reel the first), tap 'X' x4. When the third reel starts to spin, tap 'Y' x4, and when the last reel starts to spin, tap 'B' x4!!!

This method should definitly work!!!

If you can't be bothered to sit there constantly retrying, and happen to own a turbo controller you may be in luck.smile So I just had this thought, here goes..

1.Go to options and set rounds to 1, and time to 30 seconds
2.Enter Test Your Luck mode
3.Turbo Your A button
4. Let sit while you're off doing more important things
5.Come back to your Xbox, with the hopes you got this stupid achievement
6. Repeat steps 1-5 if your luck needs even more testingcry

I know turbo methods tend to catch a lot of flak. So if you down vote let me know how you really feel, and see if I carelaugh

i have just tried the other solutions on here and failed then i found a diff solution and it worked first time so im now guna share

when the 1st reel spins(character vs) do nothing just wait
when it stops and the 2nd reel starts press "X" 7 times
when the 3rd reel starts to spin press "Y" 7 times
and when the last wheel starts to spin press "B" 7 times

if you dont get the coin on the first attempt click start and restart

you dont have to do anything else nice and easy

For all where have Problems with this Achievement: i tried the solutions here 4 times i had 3 coins shown up and i had no luck.

Truely this Achievement is pure Luck, because i pressed NOTHING and i got 3 coins.

So just restart if you dont see all 3 coins on the Barrels and let it roll if it have. You can pressing Buttons, but thats NOT NECESSARY to get all 3 coins

Hello guys!

The last night i attempt do get Luck be a lady achievement:

The achievements guides taught to use the method

"X" x7, then "Y" x7 and "B" x7,

But I discovered that holding up on the directional pad and using the following combination is winning a lot easier:

Hold up on directional pad and tap "X" x4, then "Y" x4 and "B" x4

I get the achievement in my second try!

I Hope this helps those who do not have the achievement

Cheers

Alright, I just managed to get this achievement twice in the past 10 minutes, so I think it is pretty viable. Having read a lot of different supposed ways to do this, I think this is the explanation for it all: You have to hit x, y, or b, (maybe a) when the koin is in the center of the reel. This explains how button mashing, or hitting it 7 times works, as if you mash the button that many times, you're likely to hit it.

What I did both times, was I hit x for the first reel (obviously not the choose fighter reel), y for the 2nd, and b for the 3rd. I hit the button multiple times, but I just did it trying to catch the koins in the center of the reel each time.

I don't know if it has to be those buttons, that just worked for me, but I hit enough koins trying to just hit koins when they were in the center to know that there is a definite correlation.

Edit: Also, I got this achievement with Jade the first time and Sub-zero the 2nd, so I don't believe it matters what character you are.

just got this. i was never able to get it by button mashing. i got it by watching the screen. when you finally have a slot machine with three mk coins in it, the easiest way to get it is to watch for the coin to be in the very bottom position of the slot and then press whatever botton your using. you can see three slot items at a time. wait until the coin is in the very bottom spot, not the middle. thats when you need to press a. your character and difficulty level will not have any affect on this!

== Luck Be A Lady ==
** Get all MK Dragons in Test Your Luck **

Like the Trophy is allready saying, "Test Your Luck", for some good reasons. No Skill at all is required. I will explain you with my method how you can get it, without doing anything. Because normally you always have to restart the Match and hope you'll have the luck you need. You just need a Turbo Controller or Adapter for the PS3 Controller.

Now before you're going to test your luck, you need to change your controller settings in the Menu. From the Main Menu <- Options <- Controller. Change your controlls to the same as my following picture is showing.

In case, you just need to switch the cn_X, which is on default controlls the Front Kick, to the Flip Stance.
External image

To test your luck you need to go from the Main Menu, to Fight <- Test Your Luck. It doesn't matter which character you're going to use. But set up for CPU Difficulty to "Expert".

You'll have a Slot Machine with 4 Slots. 3 of 4 Slots have to be the Mortal Kombat Icons, like on the following picture, to unlock the Trophy.
External image


This can be done in a few minutes or in a few hours, like it happend for me.... (5 hours!!)

The reason for Expert CPU is, when you leave your Turbo on cn_X and you don't get the 3 Icons, your character is just switching his positions, the CPU is defeating you without any problems, the match is going to restarting again, thanks to turbo and then the roulette is spinning again. So you don't have to waste any active minute, you can also leave this while you're sleeping!

The Trophy pops when you have the 3 Icons.

I got the achievement in this way:
- select Test of Luck
- choose a fighter, easy level and 4 cases
- when the "TEST OF LUCK" writing compare, press 7 times X, then 7 times Y and then 7 times B. Do this before the cases appear!
- press A to make the cases roll

NB: sometimes one or more cases don't have the MK Dragon Icon... just retry

This one is purely luck based and can take a few tries. This requires you to play a Test Your Luck minigame whereby you must spin slot reels which can result in various gameplay modifiers for one or both opponents. For this trophy, you need to play a challenge that has at least four reels, as the first one chooses which opponent you will face. The earliest challenge this can be attempted on is #144 in the tower, as all three reels after the first one have a dragon symbol on them.

The method that worked for me was to press seven times as soon as the character reel stops, seven times after the second reel stops and seven times after the third reel stops.

Test Your Luck is a one on one fighting mode where the wheels of a slot machine spin before the fight and each bar that comes up will impact the fight in a different way such as removing all special moves from the match or turning on an earthquake so the floor shakes etc. You must match up three MK Dragons in the slots to get the achievement.

For this you can either rely completely on luck or try the following:

While reel one spins press seven times before it stops, then while reel two spins press seven times before it stops, then press seven times while the final reel spins. If done really fast, 3 MK Dragons should come up.

0

This is 100% luck based. This one has two probabilities.
1: you are a lucky one and you will get it really fast! or
2: this is the most annoying trophy to get in the game, here are the steps to follow:

Go to Kombat and select Test Your Luck Challenge.
- Select the fighter (really doesn't matter which one)
- Select Expert, (many people have more chances selecting Expert than any other difficulty)
- You can press or wait for the wheel to start.
- The first reel doesn't matter which fighter appears.
- The second reel MUST be a yellow dragon's coin, if NOT press pause and retry.
- The third and forth reels MUST be a dragon's coin too and you will have the trophy!.

Thanks to CooperFyfe for the tip:

"I don't know if it actually holds any merit, but I did press 7x after the 1st slot, 7x after second and 7 times after the 3rd"

I didn’t change the number of “wheels” (4 by default), while the first enemy selection wheel is spinning, I look to see if there is a “Dragon” icon in the remaining 3:

- if not -> Start -> Restart

- if there is: when the 2nd wheel starts spinning, quickly press 7 times , on the third wheel 7 times , on 4m 7 times

Before this, no matter what techniques I used, it was useless, so I knocked it out the first time.

It is recommended to do this on the 144th test, because This is where 90% of all “wheels” have dragons.
