Mortal Kombat X

Saw this on TrueAchievements for Xbox One so I thought I'd share it with PS4.

There are 105 modifiers in the game so far (you start with 15 but they don't count towards the achievement, thanks Arcane Insanity), and here are the three ways to unlock them (in order of effectiveness):

1) 9 (UPDATE: I found TWO more, making 11) of them are in predetermined (unmoving) locations in the Krypt, but you'll first need all of the character artifacts to travel to the necessary locations (guide below).

2) The majority you'll get by completing... sorry, KOMpleting Hourly Living Towers, upon kompletion of a tower you'll receive the modifier used for the tower as a reward (IF it's unlockable, MOST of them are, guide below).

3) Again in the Krypt, there are 4 that can be unlocked by gambling at the Shrine of the Dead in the Dead Woods Cemetery (guide below).

~~ First 11(?) In the Krypt ~~

1) Get all the character artifacts, they're objects in the Krypt environment you can pick up, located at the Krypt coordinates below:

Graveyard (start)
(-13,19) Scorpions Spear
(-21,20) Sub Zero's Iceball

Spider Cave (3,9)
(5,11) Raiden's Staff
(-7,12) Kung Lao's Hat
(18,10) Spider Gem (open the cavern at (14,14) first, thanks fighterx93chipp)
(6,30) Reptiles Claw
(22,34) Kotal Khan's Sword
(5,40) Kenshi's Sword

Shao Khan's Temple (-2,18)
(0,6) Liu Kang's Fireball
(-5,18) Ermac's Medallion
(0,12) Jax's Rocket Launcher

Now with Jax's Rocket Launcher you can blow the gate to the Shrine of the Dead at (-11, 13) in the Dead Woods Cemetery, go there and bet 10,000 koins to receive the last artifact, the Kamidogu (I've heard there's a chance you can win it with less by gambling normally but that's unverified, and would probably take more than 10,000 koins by the time you're done).

2) Go get the actual modifiers, located at the Krypt coordinates below:

Graveyard (start)
(2,10) Danger
(-5,9) Tilting World
(-4,19) Quick uppercut Recovery
(-7,21) Double Damage
(-19,16) Wrestling Kombat
(-22,8) Inverted Blocking

Spider Cave (3,9)
*NEW* (12,5) at 4:16ish on the clock (secret chest) - Klose Kombat

Shao Khan's Temple (-2,18)
(-1,13) Hand to Hand
*NEW* (7,10) No Turtles

Lost Mausoleum (enter from Shao Khan's Temple at (0,19) after 7 on the clock)
(5,-3) Gift of Reflect Armor

Netherrealm (-23,18)
(1,4) Bag of Tricks

~~ Next 39+ for Completing Hourly Living Towers ~~

From the main menu choose One Player > Towers > Living Towers. Highlight the Hourly one (5 opponents) and you can get information about the modifier on the bottom left, but after selecting your character you'll see the actual name and icon for the modifier on the bottom right, which is information you'll need to check 1) if you already have the modifier and 2) if it's even unlockable (most are). Unfortunately the only way to check is to go into Two Player > Kustom Kombat and log in a second controller to choose 2 characters and get to the "Choose Your Modifiers" screen. From there you can select a mod slot and see if the mod is unlockable and whether you have it or not (some have several variations that look similar so it's always good to check). If it exists and you need it just back out and complete the tower and you'll get that modifier as a reward. Might sound annoying but it's really not that bad, you could get all you need in 1 week or weekend if you just check back every hour and take the 15 minutes to complete a tower when needed.

TIP: if there's a tower with a mod you need but you don't have time to play, just start the tower and pause it when the fight loads, you can finish the tower whenever and still get the mod.

~~ Last 4 for Gambling at the Shrine of the Dead ~~

The Shrine of the Dead is located at (-11,13) in the Dead Woods Cemetery, and you'll first need Jax's Rocket Launcher to blow open the gate at the top of the stairs (see above). Once inside you can gamble anything between 500 and 10,000 koins to receive semi-random prizes. So far I've only heard of 4 Kombat Modifiers that can be won here:

- X-Rays Disabled
- X-Ray Instakill
- Moon Boots
- Overpowered

And that's out of at least 100 possible items, so your odds aren't great (that's why the Hourly Tower is a better bet). Word is that odds and item quality improve at 1100, 2100, and 3100 koins bet (4100 unconfirmed). There's also a chance you'll win koins, and supposedly once you exhaust all winnable items at any koin level you'll start to only win koins. I've spent about 125,000 koins so far and won 3 of the 4, all at the 2100 koin level. I never won a modifier with 1100 koins, so it's safe to assume all 4 can be had at the 2100 koin level, but I have yet to bet 3100 koins (your odds may increase, I can't say).

UPDATE: thanks to zedgehog for this gambling method (see first comment): start at 500 koins until that starts giving koins, move up to the next amount until that starts giving koins, and so on until you're out of koins. I haven't unlocked everything in the krypt yet, and I had already won a bunch of items from the shrine, but I tried this method and got the last modifier when I got up to betting 1500 koins, so I'd guess the other 3 are available at that level too. I can say that whenever I got koins for the first time I moved my bet up one click and always got an item, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're completely out of items at the lower koin level, just that your odds for getting them are now much lower.

UPDATE 2: It's worth noting that spending the $19.99 to unlock everything in the Krypt also unlocks the items you can win by gambling, including the mods.

Okay, for anyone still out there playing this, and getting frustrated by it not unlocking, you actually need to have 71 modifiers unlocked for the trophy to pop.

The reason for this is that you start with 15 already unlocked, as mentioned above, but there was a further 6 modifiers added that came unlocked as parts of the Mortal Kombat XL game update, which raised the number of free and already unlocked modifiers to 21, none of which count.

So you need to unlock 50 kombat modifiers on top of those 21, or 71 in total.

There's plenty of information on where and how to unlock modifiers, but I will also add that you can check the current number of modifiers you have if you have a second controller handy. All you do is select two player, then choose kustom kombat, lock in a character and specialty for each player, then you will be taken to a screen where you can add custom modifiers. Simply click on one, and count the number of available/unlocked modifiers to know how many you currently have, and work out how many you still need.

Hope that helps someone out there. :)
