Unlocking hidden treasures in Mortal Kombat can be deeply satisfying for experienced players. One such prize is the Living Torch in MK1‘s new Invasion mode. With the right strategy, you can claim this rare artifact and reap its benefits. In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll walk you through how to find the elusive Living Torch location step-by-step.
Introduced in the reimagined Mortal Kombat 1, Invasion is an expansive new single-player mode. It contains sprawling maps to explore, enemies to fight, and mysteries to solve. Scattered throughout are keys, artifacts and other useful items that aid your quest. The Living Torch is one such tool, but locating it takes patience.
Here are the steps to uncover the Living Torch location in Mortal Kombat 1 Invasion:
First, you need to access the area where the "Moving On Up" tower is found. Starting from the beginning, cross over the bridge from the initial locked gate. After crossing, make a right turn. Follow this path as it winds to the tower zone.
Once in the tower region, your goal is to complete the "Moving On Up" challenge. This is a multi-battle gauntlet against a series of opponents. As you take down each one, you move up the floors of the tower. Expect this to be difficult and don‘t get discouraged. Utilize konsumables, kameos, and the right kombat skills to succeed.
After defeating the final adversary at the peak, you will be rewarded with the Living Torch item. This fiery artifact can be equipped and used to illuminate dark areas. More importantly, it unlocks a metal gate located on the other side of the starting bridge. The gate leads to a courtyard with treasures across from the “Big Deal” tower.
Equipping the Living Torch provides a brighter torch beam to see previously hidden chests, artifacts, and Koins in shadowy corners. It also reveals graffiti hints on some surfaces. These clues provide backstory related to the Invasion plotline.
Beyond claiming the Living Torch itself, consider the following tips for this section of Invasion mode:
-
Stock up on konsumables that boost stats before attempting the Moving On Up tower. Attack/defense boosts and instant-kill hammers give an edge.
-
Study the fighting style of each opponent you‘ll face ahead of time if possible. Use practice matches to identify their weaknesses.
-
Don‘t neglect kameos. These AI companions can assist you in battles. Ermac and Reptile are particularly helpful here.
-
Inside the unlocked courtyard, destroy crates and props to uncover more hidden loot.
With this guidance, you now have the insights needed to discover the Living Torch location for yourself. Securing this artifact marks a major milestone in MK1‘s Invasion mode. Your kombat skills will be tested, but the payoff is immense. Wield the fiery torch with pride, and illuminate even darker secrets along the way.
