Going off the traditional concepts of MK, I believe there might be a secret in the portal stage or possibly the House of Pekara. It would seem there are clues to this very theory in the krypt coffins for the portal. The portal... "Few know how to get there and even fewer know how to use it." "You must defeat your greatest adversary before you can use it." I don't know but those sound like clues to me!!! How about the boat in the background, it just seems as if it might be waiting for you to do something specific before it will take you somewhere. The Lava shrine with the dragon egg waiting to hatch, that sounds like a time issue, or something along those lines. Goro's coffin in Kuatan Place, what if you could open it to use Goro. The Book of Destiny that you can not seem to use. Raiden's ending with a monster next to Moloch that is twice as big, and a boss that looks similar to Khan but different. I feel there are clues to other hidden characters and bosses all through the krypt coffins and even possible hidden games. Swamp lands!!! Many areanas to include Quan Chi's fortress seem to have levels to them or doors even Moloch's layer has a couple. My question is this, if the programmers really were in a big rush to complete the game; why spend the time to put useless clues or info in the krypt? That doesn't make much sense!!! In fact, there seems to be so much info that it is hard to make sence of it all. After opening all the coffins there are still empty boxes in my contents sections: characters (12 empty)that would be six if they had alternate costumes, arenas, extras, and concepts. Why make those boxes in the first place if you are not going to use them. I don't know, but I just feel that when I am playing the game; I am only seeing half of what is available to me. I feel there is so much more that I must solve to find!! Or maybe I am just reading too much into the stuff, but I don't think so, because of past MK games and the fact the programmers are getting better and better!!! Not to mention how many were involved with the development of this game compared to past games!!! Ed, if you read this, keep up the great work!!! You really have out done yourself with this one!!!

there are three swords and you can access them all:
1-handicap
2-level select (vs mode)
3-wager koins (vs mode)

I think all the "secrets" have already been discovered. Those are probably just items that follow the storyline for the next MK...

The dude that looks like Shao Kahn is Raiden's ending is the Dragon King.

A foreshadowing of MK6.......

The only thing that keeps me goin on the fact that there might be more is the Lung Hai temple card that says how the stage was changed to allow the sea beast access.So maybe there aren't pits, but how about some kind of stage fatalities? And what about the possibility of a button code to get a secret menu-that wouldn't be anything new for Mortal Kombat.

The Dev. Team already stated that they didn't put in stage fatalities due to glitches in the programming, so that idea has been ruled out for a while.

I know they said no pits, but I didn't think that ruled out all the possibilities of stage fatalities. I just got a new idea, how about downloadable content-I know it doesn't say it on the case but neither does Dead or Alive.

Just on your thoughts about the dragon egg. One of the endings states that it hatches (i cant remember which character). So i think its in the background there more for the story then a potential secret.

You have some interesting ideas though. My interest in MK:da has been reignited in the last week since reading some of the ideas people here have put forward regarding secrets. Ive been putting in more gameplay time and see'ing if i can notice anything.

I can definatly hear the voice in the krypt say something like "time will lead you to" but the "noob saibot" part is still up in the air for me..

I just wish there was a better way to earn onxy and platinum koins outside the mini games - I still have 32 koffins to open.. all needing onxy and platinum koins, which take me awhile to earn

I really like your ideas and conclusions, and I feel the same way. Like, there is so much more we dont know yet, even if it wasent true, is cool to have that feeling.

maybe that whole thing "time will lead you to saibot"was a hint toward tao feng.since mkda came out first.

Thanks guys for seeing my side of the issue!!! I am sure if there is more, time will lead us to it just as the krypt says "Time will lead you to Noob Saibot." I can make since of that, but not the other whisper in the krypt. Has anyone made since out of the other whisper?

I just thought of another possible clue!! In the Lost tomb it states that an unknown keeper maintains the portal there. Hmmmmmm....What do you think about that????

Yeah, any fatalities with the stages are outta the question.

The whisper says: Time will lead you to Saibot. Maybe Tao Feng, but I doubt it. The other whisper is the same one, just reversed.

Nice ideas, keep it up, and lemme know if u get anything. z:o

That's a very cool picture of Noob. If you had made up a story about Noob and sent that picture, everyone would have believed it!

what about that picture of that zebra guy? ok it could be a sketch or not but i also heared that maybe mk put that guy realy into the game.another thing that i have to throw in is the Lost tomb ok everybody knows that there are statue objects but in the back not realy in the game in the background of the level are 3 highlighted statues . I think 1 of them is lui the second could be or must Shao K. and the otherone ?ok i know it sound fuckin crazy 4 u guys exspecially cory.. but realy it could be something just like the portal stage.ONE BIG FUCKING ARMY IS RESTING DOWN THERE! I know i got less on information but the koffins in the krypt are highlighted 2. ???I think it has 2 do with the lost tomb-and of course I just put this in here cause of u guys talkin about Portal stage .....gotta go eat -i will tell more later

I agree with this cause simply every stage could have its own or more than just 1 finisher - i mean they just CANT make an acid bath (pool) without a stage fatality -i think mk is hiding something BIG

The swords on the back of "noob" in that picture are a dead give away as to who it really is

I was playing again last night, and im still not convinced that voice in the krypt says noob saibot.. its almost to the point where im going to capture the audio to my PC, and play it back, see if i can pick up anything more from it.

I had an idea that maybe spelling out the sentance (in order) that is whispered in the krypt, using the letters printed on the koffins might do something - shame "Time will lead you to noob saibot" is an odd number of characters

I have to say, after some of the posts on this board, Ive been paying much more attention to the details in the background of the levels, and really im even more impressed with the dev team, and some of the details they had put into the arenas.

Just a thought i had - Could the whisper in the krypt "Time will lead you to..." be refering to the Total time you have taken playing a single acrade mode game? (Where in between rounds it dislpays Time:#### in the top right corner of the screen)

Crazy idea i know... probably not the first to ask this.. but just a thought i had
