How to unlock the Brotherhood of Shadow achievement in Mortal Kombat - Definitive Guide

This achievement is "Brotherhood of Shadow" - "Discover and fight Hidden Kombatant 4 in Arcade Ladder" for facing (secret) Noob Saibot in the Ladder mode. What you have to do is play on The Temple level, recognizable because of the MK Dragon shaped window in the background, and hope you see Noob standing on the altar in the near background. Then you have to win without blocking.

To make things easier I'd suggest playing on Beginner and constantly quit to main menu and start a new ladder until the first fight is on The Temple. Then, if you don't see Noob, hit start and go to player select and pick your character again. It will load the same fight on the same level. If you accidentally block this method should work as well.

You don't need to beat him, the achievement unlocks at the beginning of the fight.

Good luck!

Edit: If you're going to thumbs down please comment saying why so I can improve the solution.

Got this achievement while not blocking, but ended up pushing my foe to the left side while using Noob, I thought I did some special fatality of something for pushing my foe off, but then Noob appeared after the same noise as a fatality.

I really suggest not going for this achievement directly but to wait until you come to the stage through regular progression. You'll slowly go fucking insane after spending an HOUR of quitting to the main menu but never getting this stage...

No, there is no way to unlock classic costumes, the only character with 3 costumes is Mileena.

The only reason I suggest restarting it is because the first fight is obviously the easiest to win without needing to block. It can be very frustrating though, yes, but not as much as the luck is a lady was for me.

thumbs up from me and just to verify @Evil Fete comment I did it on 1 round and beginner difficulty got real lucky as when I decided to try for this I got the arena first time and only had to player select 4 times.

I failed this twice last night, and I'm not sure why. Both times I won without blocking, and Noob was in the background. I had the game set to 1 round matches and 30 second time limit, because I was boosting a different achievement. My guess is that it doesn't work if you win by timeout; you must actually win by eliminating all of your opponent's health. I'll try again with a higher time limit and see if that works.

I would advise not using your right trigger at all during the fight. I've got a feeling that pressing it registers as a block, regardless of if it was used to prevent an attack.

I just had Noob sitting back there, won the fight, and I was not placed into a Hidden Kombatant fight afterwards; thus, no achievement. I spammed the "X" button the entire time, so I'm 100% sure I did not block. I knocked out my opponent, I did not win by timeout, although I let the "Finish Him" segment time out. My guess is, either for some people, or for all, it has to be on at least 2 rounds. The only other explanation would be that there is other criteria to meet than just refraining from blocking.

Not going to neg vote because it's a +1 without a doubt.

But if you want to put this video from PowerPyx it would help with a visual guide:

I got it with only one round so it has nothing to do with this, but I must point out that I got a flawless victory, might have something to do.

I actually got this on accident. I was pursuing the achievement to unlock Jade's classic attire with Scorpion. It was my first level in the ladder on beginner. I was also in the Temple. I guess I was wailing away so fiercely that I never blocked. When it came time to do my fatality, I was surprised that my opponent just fell down ... the screen never said "FINISH HIM," either, which puzzled me ... then Noob appeared! I recall getting the achievement as soon as he appeared. I think I actually lost the fight against Noob. For what it's worth, I was playing the Komplete Edition.

As Breadly Weapon said, you need to win a match without blocking any attacks, in the Temple level, in Ladder mode. Here are a few things I've discovered in trying for this achievement.

- Normally, there is a priest standing at the altar performing a sacrifice. But when Noob is present, the priest is missing. So instead of looking for Noob, just check whether the priest is there. Noob is off to the side, and dark and hard to see. But you can check for the priest as soon as the stage is loaded, since he's right in the middle.

- You will not fight Noob nor activate the achievement if you win by timeout; you must take away all of your opponent's health before the time runs out. So don't set the round time limit to 30 seconds; set it to at least 60.

- You cannot get this in Tag Ladder; it has to be regular single ladder. Noob will never appear on this stage in Tag Ladder mode.

Thank you for the mention of the Not Appearing in Tag Ladder bit. I was wondering why he never showed up there. Thumbs up!

For this one here is the help provided by PowerPyx:

- Make sure to set the amount of rounds to 2 in options
- Start a new ladder in Beginner (pick Scorpion)
- This can only be done on "The Temple" map in Ladder mode
- Once you reach "The Temple" (see video) you need to win BOTH rounds without blocking (NOT
pressing R2 Button button)
- Beat your opponent while Noob is standing upstairs (yellow circle in video)
- Noob will appear and also the trophy.
