Key Item Locations in the Krypt
There are several items that you would want to get your hands on, but the items listed and shown below are the MUST HAVE items for your Krypt Exploration and unlocking cool items in MK11.
How To Get Shao Kahn’s Hammer
You will get Shao Kahn’s Hammer right after you enter the Krypt, after talking to the NPC. This will help you break down walls to access new areas as well as break items and skeletons for Koins as well.

How To Get Gem of The Living
You would want to enter the Island’s underground caves next. This requires you to go past the Big door with the skull-like lock on it, which misses one of its Horn. In order to open the gate, you will need MOTARO’s HORN. Now right when you enter this area, a cut-scene plays and a meteorite crashes down in the place. Use SHAO KAHN’s HAMMER to break this meteorite to acquire THE GEM OF THE LIVING.

How To Get Horn of Motaro
After Acquiring THE GEM OF THE LIVING go back to the courtyard you came from, and go to either side of the ramp heading up. You will see a weak wall, which will break when struck with the hammer. Use the hammer to break the wall and enter the area. You will notice a gong in the middle of the area. To the left of the gong lies a door. Use the Gem of the Living to Open this door and enter. This will lead you to a shortcut to the main entrance. Navigate your way into the area using levers and you will find the HORN OF MOTARO.

Use gem of the living on the door

Here you will find the Horn of Motaro.

Use it on the door to unlock it.

How To Get Ermac’s Amulet
In order to get this item, you need to go to the end of Goro’s Dining Hall and use the elevator to head down. After reaching the bottom of the pit, you will find ERMAC. Take his AMULET and along with 100souls as a gift, you will gain his AMULET as well to manipulate souls. Basically, you can interact with the Green glowing objects which require some souls to activate. You can do many things later on with this amulet from opening new paths to acquiring new items as well.


How To Get Scorpion’s Spear
Head back to GORO’s THRONE ROOM and take the path located on the right of GORO’s Corpse. Head south via Goro’s Lair to THE ARMORY. At the end of the room, you will find a bright burning object. Interact with it to find and pick up SCORPION’s SPEAR. This can be used to open new gateways and pull hanging bodies near you to get hearts, which is a pretty tough item to get, otherwise.



How To Get Kenshi’s Blindfold
Head back to Goro’s Throne Room and take the path towards the East. Make your way Past the treasure Chamber, into the jails, and look to the left to discover the impaled and dead Kenshi. Get near him and take KENSHI’s BLINDFOLD to use it in your journey. This will enable you to look into the spirit realm and find hidden and secret items and chests. Make sure to be on the lookout for evil spirits which will kill you if you come across them.
