The Revenant skins. They're cool right? At the moment they are the one thing I'm trying to unlock in playing the game. I have two so far and intend on unlocking the other two. In this blog, I will tell you how it is possible to unlock all five revenant variations as well as the dark emperor Lui Kang and dark empress Kitana.
Kitana - To unlock Kitana's revenant skin, you need 250 points in King of the Hill by playing online. King of the Hill is a series of matches that players participate in in order to come out on top. Who ever is on the top is king and what the other players are trying to do is beat whoever is king so they can become king and the idea is to stay as king for as long as possible. At the end of every King of the Hill match you as a player are entitled to 'pay your respects' just give each player 10 points each, and you'll be done in 25 matches. It's as simple as that. You don't even need to win the game, you just need the points.
Sub Zero - To unlock Revenant Sub Zero, you need to complete a test your might challenge tower. Caution, it is extremely hard. So much so, that you have to cheat the game a little with your controller and a remote control battery. Once you have completed it first time around, this version of Sub Zero is yours.
Jax - In order to unlock Jax's revenant, you need to get 15 flawless victories in two player kombat rounds. I'm not sure what they mean by that that exactly, wither it means 15 flawless victories in a row or just in general. I'd try it 15 flawless victories in a row. Which sounds easier said than done, but actually it's really not as difficult as you think, there are two ways you can do it.
1 - play on your own, leaving the second player not doing anything and then you can just beat them again and again until you have achieved that all important 15 flawless victory target.
or 2 - (This option is a more precise and quicker way into securing what you want) You go into a custom kombat mode, and you select danger. This ensures you a win with a single hit, and just do that 15 times. This way is a bit tedious and redundant but no way difficult any shape or form.
Either of these ways will ensure you get what you want which is the Jax Revenant skin.
Liu Kang - This one is a little bit more tricky to unlock. You need to get 26 wins in Ranked Matches by playing online. You can't just play in these matches, you need to play and win. It sounds more easier said than done, it's a matter of luck of the draw to be honest. Some players are more experienced than you and are a lot harder to beat, some are less experienced than you and so give you a more greater chance at winning. However this variation of Liu Kang also can be unlocked randomly by playing a premium tower challenge as well. So yes, some say it's 25, some people say it's 26, and some people have had to achieve 40+ wins in order to get it. Playing ranked matches online is what you need to do in order to get this variation. It's a bit of a tricky task, but it'll be worth it. I'm on 19 wins at the moment, so another 7 wins and I'm pretty much there.
My advice is to play as a character you enjoying the most, that way win or lose you still enjoy yourself. Also it may be worth studying what your opponent does and copying them, I mean this in a sense of blocking attacks. Just take your time and be patient and you may win the odd round or two.
Kung Loa - finally we have Kung Loa. Now in theory, this variation you can get by winning 25 - 30 King of the Hill matches, for me it was 27 wins. It's why these revenant variations exist. They're super cool and the game designers / makers of the game Nether Realm Studios are clever because they know that the players will play as many modes as possible and keep playing the game in order to get them. That's what you've got to do, just keep playing the game, so win 27 King of the Hill matches and you should have it. I don't think there is any other way to get this version apart from that.
Dark Emperor Lui Kong - To get Dark Emperor version of Lui Kang, you must complete 10 tower challenges. On the main menu, you go to single player, then towers, then tower challenge. There are 5 opponents per tower, so that's 50 opponents all together you have to defeat in order to get it. He's super cool and though this way is a bit tedious, it pays off with this awesome version of the character which you have forever after you've unlocked him.
Dark Empress Kitana - The way I unlocked this variation was randomly playing a premium tower. The way most gamers have found to unlock the dark empress is to beat the premium tower as Goro, it doesn't matter what version of Goro you play as, just beat the tower as Goro and you should get it. You don't have to get gold, just beat the tower as Goro and it's yours.
Although sometimes you don't get the option to choose your character for the premium tower, if not today or tomorrow. eventually It'll happen for you.
That concludes all the Revenant variations of the characters in the game. I hope this guide was useful to you, should you ever want to unlock the revenant versions but don't know how.
Thanks guys.
