All Game Items

All Game Items Guide for Mortal Kombat 11

This guide covers every major item type in Mortal Kombat 11, organized by category. While MK11 is a fighting game, it features a deep customization, progression, and consumable system that influences gameplay primarily in Towers of Time and the Krypt. Note that gear does not affect base combat stats (health, damage) but can be augmented for special tower modifiers.

1. Currencies

Koins – The main currency. Used to open chests in the Krypt, donate to the Shrine, forge konsumables, and purchase items from the Kollector’s shop. Earned from matches, Towers, AI battles, and daily challenges.

Soul Fragments – Blue currency required for certain Krypt chests (Soul Vaults) and character tower progression. Obtained from character-specific towers, AI battles, and random loot.

Time Krystals – Premium currency (can be earned freely). Used in the Premium Store for character skins, gear, and augment slots. Earned from daily challenges, Towers of Time, and character leveling.

Hearts – Earned only in Towers of Time (from boss fights and special towers). Used to open locked doors in the Krypt and to purchase rare konsumables from the Kollector.

Blood – A material used in the Forge to craft konsumables. Obtained from completing Towers of Time and from the Krypt.

Elemental Residue – Crafting material for konsumables and forge upgrades. Dropped by certain tower modifiers and Krypt breakables.

Gear and Skin Tokens – Not true currencies but function as unlock tokens. Earned from character towers and used to purchase specific gear/skins from the Kollector.

2. Gear (Weapons & Armor Customization)

Each character has 3 gear slots (e.g., head, arms, weapon). All gear pieces are purely cosmetic and do not alter base fighting stats. However, each piece can be socketed with Augments that affect Tower of Time performance.

• How to Obtain: Complete character towers, AI battle rewards, Krypt chests, Shrine offerings, Premium Store, and character level milestones.


• When Useful: Gear is essential for personalizing your character. Augment slots on gear are crucial for high-difficulty towers.


• Synergies: Certain augments work better with specific gear (e.g., +damage when using a particular weapon). No gameplay impact on standard versus or Kasual modes.


Examples of Gear:

• Scorpion’s Kunai (weapon slot) – different blade designs.


• Sub-Zero’s Mask (head slot) – various ice-themed masks.


• Sonya’s Energy Rings (arms slot) – different glove designs.


Upgrades: Augments can be leveled by combining duplicates at the Forge. Higher-level augments grant stronger effects.



3. Augments



Augments are socketable items that modify your character’s performance only in Towers of Time. They are divided into Attack, Defense, Health, and Special categories. Each augment has a rarity (Common, Rare, Epic) and can be leveled up to 10.


• How to Obtain: Krypt chests, Tower rewards, AI battle loot, Shrine, and the Forge (crafting).


• When Useful: Essential for tackling high-difficulty towers, boss fights, and survival modes. Without augments, later towers become extremely difficult.


• Synergies: Mix and match augments to counter specific tower modifiers (e.g., +50% damage when opponent has armor). Some augments have set bonuses if used together.


• Upgrading: At the Forge, combine 2 identical augments to increase their level. Max level augments can be dismantled for materials.


Examples:

• Attack Augment: “Critical Strike Chance +10%”


• Defense Augment: “Start match with Armor for 10 seconds”


• Health Augment: “Regenerate 5% health per round”




4. Konsumables



Temporary items used only in Towers of Time (one-time use). They provide powerful effects like health regeneration, damage boosts, projectile invincibility, or even summoning allies. You can equip up to 3 before entering a tower node.


• How to Obtain: Krypt chests, Tower rewards, AI battles, Kollector shop, and crafting at the Forge.


• When Useful: Use these to overcome tough modifiers or boss fights. They are especially vital for the Gauntlet towers and “Raid” style events.


• Synergies: Kombine buffs – e.g., use “Health Regen” with “Damage Boost” to sustain while attacking. Some konsumables can also be “fused” at the Forge to create more powerful versions.


Examples:

• Health Syringe – Heals 25% health over 10 seconds.


• Armor Shard – Grants unbreakable armor for 5 hits.


• Fireball – Summons a fireball from the sky on next kombo.


• Ice Blast – Freezes opponent for 3 seconds.


Crafting: At the Forge, combine Blood, Souls, and Elemental Residue to create konsumables. Recipes are discovered from scrolls found in the Krypt.



5. Krypt Keys & Artifacts



These are special items required to unlock specific areas or chests in the Krypt. They are not typical weapons, but essential for progression.


• Skeleton Key – Opens locked chests (golden ones) in the Krypt. Found in Krypt chests or purchased from Kollector.


• Armor Piece (e.g., “Sub-Zero’s Armor”) – Used to break blocked doors. Obtained from character towers or Krypt events.


• Gemstones (Ruby, Sapphire, etc.) – Inserted into slots in the Krypt to unlock doors. Found in chests or from breaking objects.


• Kronika’s Hourglass Pieces – Story-related artifacts that unlock specific Krypt progression paths. Automatically obtained from story mode.


• Forging Scrolls – Recipes for the Forge. Found in chests or as tower rewards.


When Useful: Use these items as you explore the Krypt to reach hidden areas, unlock concept art, or gain access to chests with rare gear/augments.



6. Fight Modifiers (Consumable in Towers)



While not inventory items, these are global modifiers that can be applied to towers before starting. They cost resources (usually Time Krystals or Souls) and alter the tower’s difficulty or rewards.


• How to Obtain: Unlocked by completing specific towers or challenges.


• When Useful: Use to increase difficulty for better rewards, or to counter tower modifiers (e.g., apply “Weak Points” to reduce enemy damage).


• Types: “Strong Opponents” (harder AI), “Big Rewards” (more Koins/Souls), “Elemental Hazard” (modifier changes).




7. Collectibles (Krypt Items)



The Krypt contains hundreds of purely cosmetic collectibles that unlock concept art, music tracks, character intros, and concept models. They have no gameplay effect.


• How to Obtain: Open chests in the Krypt (using Koins, Souls, Hearts, keys), fulfill Shrine donations, complete character towers, and purchase from Kollector.


• When Useful: For completionists. Some collectibles are required to unlock other rooms (e.g., “Gem of the Senses” reveals hidden chests).


• Synergies: Certain combinable keys (like the “Shinnok’s Amulet” + “Medallion”) open special doors.




8. Character Unlock Items (Fatalities, Brutalities, Intros)



Each character has multiple fatalities, brutalities, taunts, and intro lines that are unlocked as items.


• How to Obtain: Complete character towers, reach certain character levels, purchase from Kollector or Premium Store, or find in Krypt chests (rare).


• When Useful: These add variety to your play and are required for online showcases. Brutalities are often easier to perform than fatalities and have specific requirements.


• Note: Some brutalities require specific gear or konsumables (in towers) but in standard vs mode, they are just move unlocks.




9. Forge Materials



The Forge allows crafting konsumables and upgrading augments. Key materials:


• Blood – Common drop from towers and Krypt breakables.


• Elemental Residue – Drops from towers with elemental modifiers.


• Soul Fragments – Also used as a material for some recipes.


• Koins – Used as a forge cost.


• Special Items – Rare materials like “Dragon Blood” found in late Krypt chests.

When Useful: Regularly visit the Forge to craft konsumables for difficult towers. Higher-level augments require significant material investment.

Summary Table

Pro Tips:

• Always check the Kollector’s shop for rare gear and augments. He restocks after each tower completion.


• Use the Forge to combine duplicate augments early – a level 5 augment is far better than two level ones.


• Save Hearts for unlocking Krypt doors; they are the rarest resource.


• Time Krystals are best spent on augments slots (increase character limit) or exclusive skins – avoid buying konsumables.
