Cheats & Guides

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks Cheats For PlayStation 2

  1. Survival Mode

    To access Survival Mode, you must be at the Foundry Stage. While holding the forged axe, walk back to the main chamber where you first found the save point. Walk down the corridor to the back and break away the wall on the left-hand side. Jump into the pool of lava in this room, then go back to the main chamber. Walk the path to the right of the save point and destroy the right-hand barrel at the end of the corridor. From here, go back to the main chamber, walk up the stairs to your left and move towards the barrels you see in the area. Be careful to only break the one on the right-hand side. Go back, but instead of going down the stairs again, keep hard to the right. There's a niche with two more barrels. Break the one on the right. Go back to the left and down the hall with the spike crushers falling overhead. When you past them, break the barrel closest to the right-hand wall. Return to the niche to break its last barrel, then back to break the remaining barrel just over the stairs. Survival Mode is the Boss Rush Mode of Shaolin Monks.

  2. Invisible gameplay

    *spoilers*

    After Goro dies and Kung lao argues with Kang, wait until Kang is hit and morphs back into Shang Tsung. At the point that Tsung is green from being half-morphed, skip that cut-scene and when it returns to normal game-play, your character will be invisible and only his shadow on the ground will be visible.

  3. Rescue Kabal and get his Hookswords

    In the Wastelands, there are two doors that are covered with human bodies. One leads to the Elemental Warriors, the other is an area where Shokan warriors are throwing boulders at you. Go though the second door. Simply avoid the boulders and climb the ladders until you reach the top. There you will find Kabal inside a cage. Once he is freed, he will leave his hookswords as a sign of gratitude.

  4. Unlockable Reptile

    Living Forest. Go to the section after the Brotherhood Of Shadow. Long Jump across the gap with the tiny waterfall. Go through the door. Now, get the Clay Statues to come to life. Destroy their shield. You only need 1 of them. Now, get one of them over near the Giant Stone Cloumn on the other side of the stream. It's the stone column right near where you entered. Throw the Clay Statue into it! It should come crashing down. Now, return to where the little waterfall was. There is no longer a waterfall. Just a Koin that contains Reptile.

  9. Fight Ermac, Kano, and Mileena!

    To fight Ermac, you need the Fist of Ruin and Swing Ability. Go to Wu Shi Academy and go to the first area of it. Once you're there, look for the big red bridge. Before this, there is a split path. Take the one going over a chasm of spikes. On the other side is an evil Priest statue. Break it and head into the new area. Once you're there, jump onto the area to the left. Use swing to get to higher ground, then interact with the statue. The doors on the other side of the bridge in this area will open, and you will see the Warrior Shrine.

    Go to the Warrior Shrine, and examine the statue on the left three times to fight...Ermac!

    Near the end of the game, right before you fight the final three bosses, talk to Kitana three or four times. Destroy the guards that come into the room, then go through the new door to find...Kano!

    In the first area of the Living Forest, use the swing ability on the two big branches that can be found above you as you head for the save structure. Swing over to higher ground, then climb up the ladder. You will be in a new area. Head to the other end of this treetop area to fight...Mileena!

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks Cheats For Xbox

  1. Free Experience

    Tired of having to constantly build high level combos to get the experience points for that new move? Keep your ears open and pay attention.

    Whenever you reach a multiple of 10 in your combo meter, notice that the announcer will say something complimentary (ex. "Outstanding," "Superb," etc.) However, at random times, you will hear the legendary "TOASTY" shout instead of the announcer. As soon as you hear the yell, press START; if done properly, the screen will flash "TOASTY! 1000 Pts." and you will receive an automatic 1000 Experience Points for free!

Be sure you use the O button only. Now, stay there and press and hold the O button down to smash the ground. If you do this correctly, you will see green sparks.

You need the swing ability from the Dead Pool to swing to another branch and then on to a ledge. Jump up and grab the ladder. Climb up and you'll reach a hidden area. Continue on crossing the bridges and fighting enemies along the way if you wish and eventually you'll reach an area with a portal in the back.

  6. Infinite Experience at Wu Shi Academy - Single Player

    In the Wu Shi Academy stage (in single player mode) play to the part where Cage opens the armory for you. Instead of going and getting the bladed weapon and the health increase, stay in the area with Cage. This section infinitely spawns Tarkata in groups of three. You can combo one, Fatality another, and finish off the third with Cage. You can build up a decent combo and every Tarkata you Fatality gives you over 500 experience. You can max out a character fairly quickly, and this is only the second stage of the game!

After it is broken, backtrack to the waterfall u had to jump past and youll notice the icon in the cave where the waterfall was...thats reptile.(the easiest way to break the pillar is to do an air throw or air strike into it.)

  10. Infinite experience in Ko-op mode

    In Ko-op mode, go to the Living Forest and go to an area with clay golems. The best area is probably at the door in the area with the waterfall (right near the door that leads to smoke). Kill or knock away one of the golems and try to leave the other one unharmed. Now, without destroying the unharmed ones shield, trap it against a wall and have both players keep tapping an attack button (X works the best). The golems shield will not break and it will not lose any health. As long as both players are attacking the Ko-op points will keep going up. After every 10 ko-op points both players get a larger and larger experience boost. Just keep attacking and your experience will never stop going up.

  11. Free Health at Save Point in Ko-op Mode

    For free health in Ko-op mode, activate the save point multiple times. Each time you activate the save point, your health will increase. You don't have to save each time you activate it for this to work. You can get almost full health from doing this many times.
