Trophy Guide

The game has 61 trophies. Special thanks to Leptonic's Trophy Roadmap in Playstationtrophies.org.

Platinum Trophy (Platinum)

All Trophies Unlocked

Tower Kompetitor (Bronze)

Complete a single Tower

This trophy is unlocked if you complete any single tower.

Tower Warrior (Bronze)

Complete a Tower with every character

The game has multiple towers in both offline and online modes:

Offline:

• Traditional Towers (5)
• Tower Challenges

Online:

• Living Towers (3)
• Tower Battles
• Invasion Towers
• War Towers

For this trophy, you need to complete one tower with every character, including Shinnok. DLC characters are not required for this. You have to manually track the characters you used so that you won't accidentally use the same character. The War Tower is the shortest tower, composed only with 2 opponents and one Test Your Might level. Alternately, you can focus on the Hourly Tower which has only 5 opponents, and allow you to work on the Tower God trophy as well.

Tower Master (Bronze)

Complete 10 Living Towers

Refer to the "Tower God" trophy for more information.

Tower God (Silver)

Complete 50 Living Towers

To access the Living Towers option, you have to access One Player from the Main Menu, then select Towers. Living towers has three different modes:

• Premium Tower: 14 opponents
• Daily Tower: 8 opponents
• Hourly Tower: Watch Your Step

The quickest Living Tower to complete is the hourly tower, which by average will take around 15-20 minutes to complete. Take note that you'll spend around 12-16 hours in this mode alone to complete this trophy.

Challenge Accepted (Bronze)

Win a single Tower Challenge

(To receive a challenge even without a friend who's playing the game, see the details for the "Buddy" trophy)

Using the trick below, you just need to score higher than your alternate account to unlock this trophy.

BUDDY!!! (Bronze)

Send a Tower Challenge to a friend

If you don't have friends that have the game, you can do this trick:

• Create an alternate PSN account
• Add the alternate PSN account to your main account as a friend
• Using the alternate account, play a tower challenge and deliberately get a low score. After defeating 5opponents, you'll get the option to Challenge Friends.
• Select your main account and send the challenge to it.

Pledge Yourself (Bronze)

Reach level 5 in any faction

You need to earn 2,500 EXP to reach LV5. Refer to the No Loyalty trophy.

Faction Champion (Silver)

Reach level 50 in any faction. You need 128,598 XP to max out a faction level.

Refer to the No Loyalty trophy.

No Loyalty (Gold)

Reach level 50 in all factions

Take note that switching factions will reset all XP back to Zero. There's no in-game indicator that will tag the maxed out factions so you have to track them down manually yourself.

Jump Ship (Bronze)

Become a member of every faction

When you start the game, you'll be asked to join one of the five factions. It's strongly recommended to switch factions for this trophy as early as possible since all progress in your current faction will be lost when you switch factions. You can do this by accessing the Main Menu, select Faction, then select Change Faction. You have switch to all of the available factions to unlock this trophy.

According to Leptonic's Roadmap guide for the game, it's recommended to have the following selected in your Kombat Kard:

• Background: Shichiadan (+100 FXP per Match Win)
• Icon: Hanzo (+75 FXP per Brutality performed)
• Border: Completionist (+50 FXP per Match Win)

You can see your faction progress when checking your Kombat Kard while online. Leptonic further suggests doing the following:

In a good match with a second controller and Danger modifier activated you can earn around 575 XP in your faction performing a brutality. The game takes like 3 seconds, plus another 15 of loading screens. Here are the step of how to use this farming method:

• Complete the story first.
• Two controllers is needed.
• Start a Two Players match, then select Kustom Match.
• Select Shinnok (any Variant) as your 1st player and any other character as your 2nd player.
• First player select Danger modifier (Both Players). The second player keep modifiers empty.
• Select any map.
• As soon as the game starts, perform a Brutality with Shinnok (Back, Forward, Hold Square)
• Performing a brutality gives you more XP and takes less time compared to a Fatality.

With this method, it's possible to max a faction level in less than 90 minutes. It will take roughly 7-8 hours completely max out all 5 factions. You can also check out Obie83's method for this trophy.

Time Out (Bronze)

Win a match by time out

You can do this alone by having a second controller. Start an offline match, set the AI to Very Easy, and ensure that you have more health than your opponent. Let the timer run out and this trophy will unlock

Keep it Secret (Bronze)

Find a secret fight in the Living Towers

To trigger the secret fight, you have to select the Living Tower: Premier Tower (Mortal Kombat 1) and meet the following requirements:

• Reach the 6th match in the tower
• Perform at least one Flawless Victory in any round
• End at least one match with a Fatality

After completing the tasks, Reptile will appear. You don't need to defeat him to unlock the trophy; it will just appear right before the match starts.

Statistical Advantage (Bronze)

View Kombat Kard

To view your Kombat Kard, go to the Main Menu, select Extras, and select Offline Kombat History.

Moving Up (Bronze)

Reach personal level 10 in XP

You need 22,000 XP to reach LV10. Don't fuss about this since you'll unlock this as you progress in the game.

Elder God (Silver)

Reach personal level 65 in XP

You need 1,927,124 XP to reach this level, which will take a LOT of grinding. Refer to the No Loyalty trophy for more information about farming XP.

A New Beginning (Bronze)

Complete 50% of Story Mode

This is unlocked in Chapter 7. Refer to the There is a Ruler trophy below for more details.

There is a Ruler (Bronze)

Complete 100% of Story Mode

The game's story mode is composed of alternating cutscenes, QTE (quick-time-events), and matches. Each chapter, you'll use a different character. You can skip fights using Skip Fight Tokens if you just want to get this over with and get the trophies. Besides, completing the story mode will unlock Shinnok. You'll start with three Skip Fight tokens and you'll find more in the Krypt. You can also set the story mode difficulty to Very Easy so you can just breeze through the opponents.

Inner Strength (Bronze)

Win 1 complete online match

You just need to complete one online match, not necessarily win it.

Return Kustomer (Bronze)

Play 100 complete online matches

Refer to the "Unstoppable" trophy.

Good to be King (Bronze)

Win 1 complete Klassic King of the hill match

Refer to "Royalty" for more information

Royalty (Bronze)

Win 5 complete Klassic King of the hill matches

(This trophy won't unlock in Private Matches!)

Like other online matches, this is easily done with a boosting partner

• Go to Online
• Choose King of the Hill
• Select Klassic, Player Match
• Create a room and invite your friend
• Trade 5 wins each.

Take note that the MKX servers are region locked, meaning if you're from US, you can't boost with your friend in the UK or EU. You can check out this boosting thread if you need help.

Giving Respect (Bronze)

Give Respect points in a King of the hill match

(This requires 3 players to boost!)

In the King of the Hill match, spectators are asked to give Respect Points to the King. This is the only way to earn Respect points and there's no way for two players only to earn this. To unlock this trophy, you can just join any random King of the Hill match and give at least one point to the winner.

Respected Fighter (Bronze)

Earn 1,000 Respect points

In the King of the Hill match, spectators are asked to give Respect Points to the King. This is the only way to earn Respect points and there's no way for two players only to earn this. The idea is to have the third player remain as spectator and give the winner of the match respect points. 1,000 points is a long way to go and can be a bit faster with more spectators/ players giving respect points. However, setting up a boosting session for this trophy can be tedious and boring.

Take note that the MKX servers are region locked, meaning if you're from US, you can't boost with your friend in the UK or EU. You can check out this boosting thread if you need help.

Terrifying Encounter (Bronze)

Confront a beast within the Krypt

The Krypt is a separate area where you can spend Koins to unlock stuff. It's explored in first person mode. When you're outside you'll occasionally be attacked by wolves or spiders if you're exploring the caves. You can kill these beasts by pressing the correct button displayed in the screen and earn extra koins. For this trophy, it will unlock during your first encounter, without even pressing any button.

• Create a Private Match the invite your partner.
• Trade one win each to complete.

Dropping Fools (Bronze)

Reach a 10 complete game win streak in Ranked 1v1 matches

Ranked 1v1 matches can be tedious and since you have to fight against random opponents, having a boosting partner is not much of a help here. However, there is a pretty neat trick by player Hawks1523 that involves saving your win progress via cloud storage:

Step 1. Go to online -> Versus -> Ranked match

Step 2a. If you WIN, go back to main online menu. Press the PS button go to [Settings] -> [Application Saved Data Management] -> [Saved Data in System Storage] -> [Upload to Online storage] OR [Copy to USB Storage] -> [Mortal Kombat X] -> PLAYER SETTINGS -> Upload.

Step 2b. If you LOSE, go back to main online menu. Press the PS button go to [Settings] -> [Application Saved Data Management] -> [Saved Data in Online Storage] -> [Download to System Storage] -> [Mortal Kombat X] -> PLAYER SETTINGS -> [Download]. Yes to overwrite

Hit the Dojo (Bronze)

Enter Practice mode

Unstoppable (Bronze)

• Versus (Player vs Player, Test Your Luck)
• Team Battles (Faction, Ranked, Player, Private, 3v3 and 5v5)
• King of the Hill (Klassic and Survivor)
• Tower Battles (Player and Private)

This can be easily done with a friend that can be used as a boosting partner. Take note that the MKX servers are region locked, meaning if you're from US, you can't boost with your friend in the UK or EU. You can check out this boosting thread if you need help.

That's How You Do It (Bronze)

Complete Tutorial

You have to complete all four parts of the tutorial: Basic, Kombos, Special Moves, and Advanced. You can play through the entire tutorial or skip them, which will get you the trophy all the same. The image below is provided by Leptonic in PlaystationTrophies.Org.

Knockout (Bronze)

Perform a 10 hit combo with every character

This requires multiple retries, and a LOT of patience to unlock. Shinnok is required for this trophy as well. It is strongly recommended to attempt this in Practice Mode. Some characters have X-Ray moves (can be used infinitely in Practice Mode) that can deal up to 10 hits, which will count towards the trophy.

FINISH HIM (Bronze)

Perform 1 Fatality in a match

Fatalities is an integral part of the game so you'll unlock this easily as you play the game. Refer to the Bloody Good Time trophy for more information.

Bloody Good Time (Bronze)

Perform a Fatality in a match with every character

Every character has two fatalities. One is default while the other can be bought from the Krypt. Fortunately, you only need to do one Fatality for every character, it doesn't matter if you'll use the default one or the alternative. Shinnok is also required so completing the story mode is necessary. Furthermore, you need to perform these fatalities in real matches, not in training mode. Using the Easy Fatality ticket to perform a complicated/hard fatality will still count towards the trophy. Refer to this link for more details.

Straight Power (Bronze)

Perform 100 Fatalities in matches

Brutal End (Bronze)

Perform 1 Brutality

Refer to the Dark Future trophy for more information.

Dark Future (Bronze)

Brutalities are finishing moves that require specific conditions before being triggered. Some are locked in specific variations. You can check the information about the character's Brutalities by selecting the Finishing Moves tab in the Move List. Here are the list of characters with very easy Brutalities to execute:

• Takeda
• Raiden
• Kung Lao
• Shinnok
• Erron Black
• Reptile
• D’Vorah

Need a Doctor (Bronze)

Perform every character's X-Ray

Refer to this link for more details.

Master (Bronze)

Win a single complete match with every character variation

This trophy can be completed alongside the "Well Rounded" trophy. Each character has three different variations. In order for your progress to be counted, you have to win a match for every character and every variation (around 72 matches). You need to use Shinnok for this trophy as well. DLC characters are not included.

Playing with a second controller is recommended. Furthermore, you can change the match settings to end in one round or within the shortest time possible. If you don't have a second controller to play against a dummy player, you can have a match against AI players and set the battle to Very Easy.

Only a Real Master (Bronze)

Beat an opponent while they still have 90% health and you have 10% or less health remaining

This can be easily done with two controllers. Control the second player and have him/her beat your character until you have less than 10% health remaining. Since the health bar doesn't show the percentage, you have to estimate. When your character's HP is low, use weak, basic punches and leave as little HP as possible. Once done, control your main character and beat your opponent.

Well Rounded (Bronze)

Play every character variation

Each character has three different variations. In order for your progress to be counted, you have to win a match for every character and every variation (around 72 matches). This can be done with the "Master" trophy. Refer to that trophy for more information.

Hara Kiri (Bronze)

Kill yourself with Kotal Kahn for 1 round and win the match

Use Kotal Kahn (any variation) then enter a match with the default 2 rounds. (This trophy won't unlock in one-round matches) Basically, you need to trigger the special move called "Blood Offering" (Forward, Down, Back, Circle.

Now win the match to unlock this trophy.
