When you first pick up Mortal Kombat: Deception, you'll probably want to unlock all of the characters in Kombat and Puzzle mode. Thanks to the addition of a revamped Konquest mode, this will be no easy task for fans of the series. To help you out, and get those characters unlocked as fast as possible, we've come up with a mini-guide that let's you know where all of the arenas, and almost all of the characters can be found. We haven't had the game long, so we're still missing a few things, but this should help to get you started. We can't give everything away right?

Timed Chests: Many of the hidden characters in Mortal Kombat: Deception can only be unlocked by finding a chest in Konquest mode. This chest holds a key to their koffin in the krypt. While that may sound simple enough, several of the chests are time specific. This means that you can only find them during a specific time of day, in a specific location in one of the realms.

Map Grids: Each realm features a grid system. In general the grid will range from A1 to H8. This is the only viable way to locate items in the game, and even using this system, you may have to search around a little but to find the chest or item you're looking for.

The Village: When you first begin Konquest mode, you'll start in a small part of Earthrealm called the village. After you meet Damashi and fight Bo' Rai Cho for the last time, you will leave the village, and not be able to return. Make sure you obtain any characters and/or items located within the village before you fight Bo' Rai Cho for the last time.

Completing Konquest: Several hidden items will only become available once you have completed Konquest mode one time. This means that you have done all of the mandatory quests within Konquest, and continued playing that same game. There are also several items that are located in an area you will not have access to immediately. These are not marked here, but should be obvious when playing the game.
