That update made a world of difference just beat stage 2 and 3 first time through. Used the good health crystal (50% health boost) and an attack consumable (Mileena sais, blood ravens etc). Those two consumables coupled with my main Noob and it was easy as!

They dropped a patch today the XB1 to make all towers easier, and rewarding.

Yeah well I'm on PS4 so patch was days ago and Gauntlet, stage 2 is pretty much the same. Still 3 modifiers, rockets still unblockable (which should be blockable now).

With stage 2 what I did was play scorpion and stayed close to cassue and Jacqui to avoid takeda, when she would use kung jin id use bo rai cho's konsumable to prevent her from hitting me. It took a few attempts but you judt have to be close quarters the entire time
It works, now, If you give him the armor komsumable and other perks then you’ll get over stage 7
In case you didn't see my suggestion above for how I beat stages 1-7:
Use Baraka.
5 Grappling
20 Rushdown
25 Kombos
10 Reversal
0 Zoning
0 Runaway
I literally opened an account just to say THANKS! This Baraka a.i setting helped me get thru this whole tower. Thanks! Flawless

Nice advise but which special moves you use for Baraka?
To get through the Cassie and Jacqui and friends do not use the AI. I picked Scorpion and stay far away. Use the consumables. I used, Hydro wave, Meat head and Mileena Sai. They have extremely short cooldowns and the Hydro wave knocks them over. Just block and use each consumable one at a time. The Hydro wave is the best one since it knocks down, buying you time. If you have Takeda Kunai you can also use it against them instead of Mileena Sai. Any Fire based consumable is deadly so use them, but the main one is Hydro wave since it is a largely unavoidable and knocks down. If you have Zaterra charms you can use that to cheese any fight with Hydro Wave since the wave will knock down and the acid with drain their health.

Baraka Barrage,
Blade Charge,
Baraka-Serker.

Just made it. That was hard one. Just don't jump or duck. Don't use any low or jumping attack. Equip some tossing konsumable like Takeda's kunai or onaga's meteor and keep bashing.


Glad to see I’m not the only one that’s having problems. Took me many tries but eventually passed it with sub zero. Used shinnoks amulet to make my attacks unblockable and the other konsumable that strengthens your punches I think. Now I’m stuck on level 8.

Hey players,
For the flawless victory challenge against Sub-Zero and scorpion, just don't duck or do any moves, or kombos, that have you ducking in any way. Thanks opinions base attacks won't hurt you just counter and kombo consistently and you'll get past it easy. Don't even fear that rocket, it goes for your offensive/defensive meters not your health. Hit it in 3 tries. Any other questions with any levels hit me up. I got you.

Second note, got the Cassie jaqui tier challenges in the gauntlet, you're going to want to use the temporary armor and, 25% health konsumables and just be aggressive with kombos and attacks. Liu kang works great with his down, back, O custom move and the flying kick enhanced. Again any questions mk11 related, holla at me

EVERYONEEEEE USE THE BROKEN KYTINNS WING KONSUMABLE IT GIVES IMMUNITY TO POISON BASED MODIFIERS SO YOU CAN FOCUS ON BEATING THE CRAP OUTTA THE TWO GUYS I JUST DID IT

Just wanna do this for the mask but I think I'll wait til it comes to the shop.
For me I used a konsumable that granted you instant health back as the armored one. My fighter was Liu Kang. Kept doing jump in combos similar to how I beat Kronika every time with a Flawless. Seems the computer is a sucker for jump in combos.
With Liu Kang I used jump in 1, then the 3, 3, 3, step in, 4, 4, 3, Bicycle Kick Amplified to the Max and then throw a Low Fireball. I believe it is close to a 30 hit combo, might be 22 but it is a pretty decent juggle combo. Just kept doing that when I could amplify the Bicycle Kick. Otherwise do the same combo without the Bicycle Kick, I'd use the armor konsumable about at 1/2 way point. Before I defeated them I'd use the konsumable to grant me 100% life back and then win the fight.

This doesn't make sense to me at all. 3,3,3 and 4,4,3 aren't even Liu Kangs strings. How could you combo those, even in a juggle it's impossible. Also, your health doesn't have anything to do with flawless rounds. It's whether you get hit or not. If you do get hit by your opponent, that can't be a flawless round even if you get your health to 100% again. Not sure if armor does anything either.

Best way I found was with Cassie Cage dont jump or use attacks as the poison gas will do damage just move back or forward but stay as far from sub zero and scorpion as possible and use these consumables, Special Forces Radio as they send nukes do huge damage and knock them back, Takada's Kunai as they knocks them back and does damage, Broken Quiver to stun them on the spot then spam Dual wielding just remember do not get hit in both rounds sub-zero's ice doesn't do damage but just stay away from them as possible and spam dual wielding now just with luck and patience I hope this will helped and it works for you like it did for me :)
Good luck :)
Thanks man! I did this and it was over in less than 45 seconds
