Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

Stage 3: The Element Of Earth

maximum experience points: 1425
mission: obtain the 3 elements of earth
password: cnszdg
moves attainable: Air Ice Shoot

Stage 2 ends with a short fmv clip, where Sub-Zero is slowly transported from the wind stage to the Earth stage. Here he is to collect the 3 elements of earth. this stage can be very tricky if you don't know where to go, as there are a lot of options. Watch out for many of the hidden crevices, pits, and smashing platforms in this stage. Don't run through this stage, because you'll likely run into something you didn't want to.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

You'll begin off with a character running up to you. These characters have large staffs, which some of the characters in stage 2 had, with which they'll try and trip you and hit your ankles, etc... Defeat this character and move on. watch out, because a pit will open up under your feet at a certain point on the ground (see pic). Be very cautious. You'll know a pit is about to open because the ground shakes and it makes a noise. If you fall into this pit, you'll be impaled on a spike. Not all of the pits have spikes, but the majority do. Jump past the first pit and continue on.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

After passing the first pit you'll come up on a pair of smashing platforms (see picture). This is the second obstacle for stage 3. These are fairly easy to avoid, just jump through them when they go up. If you don't time your jump correctly, you could be pinched out or crushed all-together. Like stated above, be very cautious. After crossing the 2 smashing platforms, you'll come up to only one platform without a top. Remember this spot. Jump over the platform and continue on.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

After crossing the one smashing platform, you should come up on another hidden pit. This is a good pit, not a spiked pit. Fall down it. You should see a potion, free life, and a herbs (see picture). Grab them and then use the platform to get back up to ground level. After back on top, keep moving to the right.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

Now that you're out of the pit, move slowly and cautiously to the right. You should come upon a whole bunch of swinging blades (see picture). These take time to maneuver, but are fairly easy to get through with practice. There are 5 blades total, so you'll want to time it so that you can cross 2 at a time. There are lots of ways to do it. You could try just simply running through all of them. Chances are you'll get sliced up a couple times with this method, but at least you'll make it without losing a life. You could also wait until the front blade has just passed you either way, then quickly jump 4 times to get through them, and if you're good, you won't be sliced once. Test it out to see which method best fits you.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

After crossing the blades, you'll come up on a ledge with a rope, and a blade on the other side (see picture). Jump on to the rope, and on to the other side of the ledge, avoiding the swinging blade. Don't go down the rope yet, not even a couple of inches. If you do, it will activate a huge rock above the rope to slowly make its way down, which in time will trap you and crush you do death. After crossing the swinging blade on the right, move on.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

Jump past the smashing platforms and watch out for the pit that opens up. Now you should be at 2 swinging blades with a square key in the middle, similar to the picture. This can be extremely tricky. Wait until the pit in between the blades closes, then either jump in between the blades or run in between the blades, grab the key, and jump out of there as soon as possible. You've got to be quick, because the pit will stay closed for only about 3 to 4 seconds.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

After grabbing the key, keep moving to the right. In between the 2 smashing platforms is a free life (see picture). Grab it, and make your way back to the rope that you crossed earlier.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

Jump on to the rope and make your way down it. Don't lag behind, because the rock that was talked about earlier is slowly making its way down to crush you, so keep a steady pace. Once you're to the bottom, use the square key you just retrieved to open up the door (see picture). This is your first checkpoint. Go through the corridor, fighting any enemies that come up to you.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

Once you get to the end of the corridor, there should be a smashing platform (see picture). If it isn't moving up and down, run back left through the corridor and defeat any enemies that you didn't defeat previously. Stand on the platform and wait for it to eject you upwards. After being ejected, you have 2 options, left or right. Go to the left ledge.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

Grab the ice regeneration, and try to time it so that you can grab the free life in between the 2 smashing platforms, and get out of there as soon as possible without being killed. Be careful after crossing the smashing platforms, because there is a hidden pit embedded into the ground.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

Jump into the pit. Immediately after jumping into the pit either hold left or right on the controller. You should land into a small room with 2 herbs and a hole in the middle (see picture). Jump from one ledge to the other, grabbing the herbs, then jump through the hole. You'll end up back in the corridor. Run to the right to where the one smashing platform is, and wait for it to eject you back up again, this time going to the right instead of the left.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

You'll be confronted with a strange floating meditating monk (see picture). If you try to freeze him, he has some sort of force field around him which makes him invincible. Don't try to kick him or freeze him, or even get near him, because he'll shoot you with a bolt of electricity. The monk will occasionally teleport. As soon as you see him start to morph, freeze him. You've got to catch him right in the middle of teleporting. If you've timed it right, he should explode. Move on to the right very cautiously. Jump over the opening pit.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

After jumping over the first pit, you should come up on a rope, and another pit just to your right (see picture). Don't climb up the rope, just wait until the pit is closed and run across, instead of jumping over the open pit. The reason for doing this is because there is a strategically placed monk on the other side. If you jump over the open pit, you'll hit the monk's force field, and go flying straight into the pit. So instead, run across the pit and jump over the monk, getting on the right side of him. Do the same thing as before, freeze him in the middle of his teleporting process. Once you've defeated him, the door to your right should open. Continue on to the next page for details on fighting the boss and defeating the rest of the stage.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

Once you're through the door, the game should load for a few seconds, and load a different track of music. Then you're confronted with a huge rock boss. He is quite simple to beat if you've got the right pattern down. Run up to him, uppercut him, then quickly jump kick him and slide through his legs. Turn around and do it again.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

Also, on the far right of the screen is a skull. If you pull it, a platform will come slamming down on a certain part of the screen. Lure the rock boss right under this platform, then jump kick him, slide under him, and run over to the skull. Pull it, and if you've lured him into the right place, it should slam him right on the head, causing massive damage. Around 3 of these slams will be close to killing him. If the skull's eyes are green, like in picture, that means that the platform is not all the way to the top yet, and you've got to wait until the eyes are not green to drop the platform again.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

The rock boss has quite an arsenal of deadly moves, so you've got to watch out for them. Most of them are easy to avoid, and you can tell when he's about to do a move. He's got a kick, a move where he picks you up and slams you (see picture), a move where he takes a huge swing with his right hand (most damaging), and a move where he stomps and rocks come falling from the ceiling.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

After defeating the rock boss, pull down on the skull to drop the platform again. This time, run over to the platform and jump on it before it slowly makes it's way back up again. When the platform is all the way up, you'll see a rectangle key (see picture). Grab the key. The platform will automatically drop back down again. Jump off the platform and go back out the door you came in.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

Go back out to where the rope was. Use the rectangle key you just retrieved. Now climb the rope as the rock slowly lifts. Once you've reached the top, jump on to the left ledge (see picture). Avoid the 2 sets of smashing platforms and continue on. Keep running to the left. Avoid the 2 swinging blades and the pit in between. This is where you got the square key, remember? Avoid the pit and smashing platforms after that, and continue on to the left.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

You should be at a point similar to the picture, with a rope above you, a swinging blade to your right, and 5 swinging blades to your left. This is your 3rd checkpoint. Don't climb the rope. Continue on to the left, going back through the 5 swinging blades.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

Stop once you get to the one platform without it's top (see picture). Jump on the platform and wait for it to eject you upwards. You should land on a ledge with some herbs on it. Grab the herbs and jump up to the ledge above. Fight off the floating monk by freezing him in the middle of teleporting, Just like before.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

After defeating the monk, run over and get the triangle key. A pit will open up just under your feet. Don't worry, this isn't a bad pit. It is necessary to get across the fencing as seen in the picture. Go into the underground room, grab the potion, then jump up on to the platform and have it eject you back on to the other side of the fence.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

You should be on the right side of the fence now, as seen in the picture. If you forgot to grab the key, then you'll have to retrace all of your steps, because there is no possible way of going back to the left. Fight off any remaining enemies, and make your way right.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

You will come up to a rope (see picture). You've got 2 choices: you could either skip the rope and go right, where you'll be met with a ton of swinging blades and pits, but if you successfully get through them, you'll get 4 herbs and a free life. Then you'll have to make your way all the way back and go up the rope. Or you could just skip going to the right and go up the rope, which is what you'll have to do either way. After making it to the top of the rope, go to the right and fight off the enemies you come upon.

Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero Stage 3

You'll come to a locked door. Access the inventory menu and use the triangle key you retrieved earlier. The door should open. Run through the rest of the corridor and into the wall. The fmv sequence should take over from there. You have successfully defeated stage 3.
