How to unlock the Hide and Seek achievement in Mortal Kombat - Definitive Guide

Sometimes when playing arcade ladder, you can see Classic Smoke pop up behind a tree in the living forest stage. If you do, quickly press the "BACK" button (the button left to the guide button) and you will fight against him immediately and unlock this achievement.
He is pretty tough to beat by the way, at least it was for me.

Edit: To be clear, you do not have to press down, just "BACK"! Other guides are wrong about that. :P

You forgot to mention that you need to press Down in addition to Back/Select.

Does he come from 1 tree or from different trees ?

I didn't get to fight him immediately. After I pressed the back button multiple times, he just went back behind the tree, but once the round (round 1 for me) was over, my opponent flew off the screen and then the fight began. And yes, he is very difficult to beat. But I go my cheevo!

I pushed back and out of pure luck, the fight ended and smoke appeared.

He was a hard son of a bitch, but I beat him. And FYI, you DONT have to beat him to get the achievement, you get it as soon as you get the "you have discovered a hidden fight" message.

I've been spamming the back button for about 20 minutes, reselecting my character everytime it gets to the "finish him!" screen. Smoke just will not appear for me.

I would like to confirm that it is indeed just the "BACK" button that is needed. You do not have to press down on the D-pad.

Yeah he should still appear. It worked when I was fighting Noob to unlock the hidden fight with him.

To answer the above question, yes, Classic Smoke can still appear if you are already fighting Smoke. My video guide below is proof of that.

'You have to push Select'

What the fuck is wrong with people. LOOK AT YOUR CONTROLLER.

Finally got it, its true u only have to push select button non-stop to get it, if u dont, when it says finish him, go to player select to stay on same stage, thats what i did and on the second fight i got it, and, damn its true he his a freakin b**** to beat, and he was my first fight on beginner hahaha, good luck to beat him, i did and damn he was a pain :-)

To add to the above solutions, make sure the round is set to 2 and the time to 30 seconds. Then choose Ladder from the Fight menu. I choosed Sonya because she has some nice and fast moves but you can use any fighter. Make sure the difficulty is set to beginner.

Before the loading screen, you have the whole fight ladder displayed to you, showing you the different fighters you have to beat and the arenas where you will fight. If the first arena is not the Living Forest arena, wait until the fight starts then press start and go back to the main menu.

Repeat these steps until the first arena is the Living Forest one. When it is, start the fight and press the Back button rapidly while pressing any of the attack button to hit the other fighter. If Classic Smoke doesn't shows up behind the trees during the whole match (2 rounds in this case), win both rounds but don't end the match with a "-ality". At the Finish Him/Her! screen, press start and choose player select.

Rinse and repeat this until Classic Smoke shows up. It will take some retries but you will get it eventually. You can use this trick for the other 3 secret achievements where you have to find and fight the hidden fighters.

You can't do this for classic Jade, so you might want to change that. You can for the other two.

This also works if you set it to three round because i was boosting coins using the three round method and i got the living stage area by accident and i used it on the first fight and i immediately found him

You can do like MasterkillerWSW said but when the fight starts just spam back button without stop because the most part of the time you cant see Classic Smoke because he's very hidden but if u are spamming the back button like crazy you will fight him without see him it worked in my first try.

Good idea! I unlocked the achievement after doing one move at the beginning off the first round because I decided to hit back after each move I did. Turns out I only need to do Raiden's flying move.

Here's a youtube link to see how it looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jyb6J8bbRo

Again, you DO NOT need to press down on the directional pad; just press "BACK" when Smoke appears.

For this one here is the help provided by PowerPyx:

- This can only be done on "The Forest" map in ladder mode
- Start a new ladder in Beginner (you need to wait to fight on "The Forest" map)
- Watch the trees on the far right (see video)
- Once you see a figure (yellow circle in video) press Select Button+D-pad Down
- If you do not see any figure, pause and retry until you see it
- Smoke will appear and also the trophy

Thanks to PowerPyx for the video:
