The brutal gore-filled world of Mortal Kombat 11 provides a wide variety of game modes on top of a technically solid fighting game system and mechanics. The game also roots its aesthetics and unlockable items to the unlocking of chests within the massive Krypt mode. These chests contain gear, costume sets or even art pieces. However, these chests must be paid for with either Koins or Soul Fragments. Dependent upon the type of chest will affect which material will be required to pay to open the chest.
Koins and soul fragments are crucial for unlocking interesting costumes for your favorite Kombatants. However, to obtain enough to unlock everything in the Krypt is an incredibly difficult and at times frustrating task. This guide will provide some general tips and tricks to assist in the act of farming soul fragments.
Obtaining Soul Fragments through Reptile in Mortal Kombat 11
One of the multiple ways to farm soul fragments is through the Reptile exploit. This method requires players to constantly and consistently kill the character Reptile within the Krypt. This method requires the use of Kenshi's blindfold in order to find the invisible ninja.
To effectively do this method players must go to one of the 10 locations that Reptile spawns. These locations include:
Palace Entrance (7097, -521)
Deadwoods (3522, -2004)
Gardens (1952, 4048)
Pit Bridge (-8682, -5534)
Lower Courtyard (-5928, -8514)
Goro’s Lair (6883, -6213)
Goro’s Lair (-4756, -10036)
Armory (-6169, -5991)
Courtyard (-3643, 4608)
Lower Pit (-7697, -3421)
As mentioned Kenshi's blindfold is the only way to see Reptile when he is invisible, but once in view simply strike him with Shao Kahn's hammer to kill him. Reptile rewards 100 soul fragments for killing him. In order to farm Reptile players must immediately back out of the Krypt then reenter the game mode and head to whichever location he will be hiding. Then rinse and repeat until you receive a desirable amount of soul fragments.
Progressing through the Krypt also provides occasional small amounts of Soul Fragments. However, the Reptile method is by far the most time-efficient way to achieve a reasonable amount of fragments for each attempt.
Obtaining Soul Fragments through The Towers of Time in Mortal Kombat 11
One of the most effective ways to farm soul fragments is through the use of powerful CPU characters in order to reap the awards of particular towers. This requires a player to choose and set the stats of his desired CPU character in order to successfully and efficiently win battles within the tower.
In order to create a CPU choose a character that has an explicit strength, whether it be an offensive beast or a potent zoner, then adjust his stats to abuse the strength he has in this particular field. A good example, and a recommended character, would be Noob Saibot his powerful offensive capabilities and high damage output makes him an excellent choice in order to power through the endless tower or whichever tower of your choosing. After picking your character to adjust his stats in order to hit the play style you want him to have, so for Noob, you would increase his combo stat and his rush-down stat. Another good example would be using Erron Black and placing his stats to coincide with his powerful zoning capabilities. Whichever character you choose, be sure to realign his or her stats in order to abuse the overall strengths they have as a character.
After choosing your CPU enter into any tower of your choice and simply watch the character dismantle his opponents. The only thing required of the player is to press the X or A button to go to the next match in the tower. This is an extremely passive and effective means to obtain and farm soul fragments as it allows for potentially endless access to soul fragments.
The endless tower is a solid choice for players to farm a massive amount of fragments. But there are occasionally towers that reward a large sum of soul fragments as their completion reward. Being able to capitalize on these particular towers is important to amass a large sum of fragments. So be sure to browse the towers and find ones that fit your desire for soul fragments.
As you tackle these challenges be sure to use powerful consumables to make the challenges easier or even double your reward for completing the towers.
Obtaining Soul Fragments through Daily Challenges in Mortal Kombat 11
Another means to farm fragments is the Daily Challenges, a less time-efficient way but by completing the challenges players would essentially have a daily allowance of soul fragments. This is an effective way to increase your surplus of soul fragments as they are generally easy or doable challenges that insure 100 soul fragments for simply completing them.
For this method to be successful it requires a consistent play schedule. Be sure to log on at least once a day to complete and receive your 100 soul fragments. After a few days, you have a healthy amount of soul fragments for your spending pleasure.
Combine this method on top of the previously mentioned way to farm soul fragments and you have a useful and effective method at farming these finite resources. The only stipulation is a player should be consistent in his farming of Soul Fragments. Using this method does present a commitment however the rewards are certainly worth the time invested.
All of the provided methods are effective ways to farm and obtain soul fragments in Mortal Kombat 11. However, the most efficient means to farm these consumables is the CPU oriented tower method. It allows for a passive increase in soul fragment income and if your CPU is powerful enough, it can provide large payouts. Be sure to customize your ideal CPU in order to get the most from this particular method. When you have received a large enough amount of fragments you can enjoy the expansive world of the Krypt as you unlock and receive interesting items and gear. Even though it may require some time to farm these items, completing your collection of items and gear will certainly be enough to justify the time spent.
