Wu Shi Academy
Ermac
Backtrack to the beginning of the area where the pathway divides into two. Take the left path and jump over the pit of spikes. Smash the statue blocking your path using your Fist of Ruin ability, then continue through the archway.
When you emerge in a new area, climb the wall to your left up to a series of bamboo frames. Using your Swing ability, make your way across to the other side. Interact with the giant statue to make the doors to the Warrior Shrine open.
Drop down to the area below, then head across the wooden bridge into the shrine. Hop onto the rock in the far left corner and interact with the statue of Ermac three times to bring it to life.
Ermac is a powerful warrior who has many deadly attacks. His projectiles and use of telekinesis make him especially dangerous.
During the first phase of the fight, keep close to Ermac and use a combination of pop-up attacks, air combos, quick attacks and projectiles to damage him. Keep him busy, as stopping even for a short moment will give him the opportunity to launch a deadly strike.
After depleting about a quarter of his health he uses his telekinetic abilities to levitate a few large rocks. As before, keep close to Ermac and use a range of different attacks on him. If you give Ermac even a second of free space he will launch the rocks at you, dealing large amounts of damage.
Once Ermac's health is reduced to half he will bring the statue of Johnny Cage to life. Ignore Ermac and focus on defeating Johnny Cage, making sure to keep on the move to avoid getting hit by Ermac's attacks.
Continue to pound Ermac at a close range once Johnny Cage has been crushed. If he begins to glow green move out immediately as he will unleash a deadly radius attack.
When Ermac's health has been exhausted, follow the on-screen instructions and finish him. |

Living Forest
Mileena
Once you have the Double Jump and Swing abilities, take notice of two horizontal branches above an area close to the beginning of the Living Forest. Swing across them and climb up the ladder attached to a giant tree.
Follow the network of wooden bridges, making sure to avoid the Masked Guards and Putrid Corpses that occupy the area. At the end you will find Mileena near a large portal.
Once the battle commences, ignore Mileena and focus on ridding the area of the Masked Guards. They are capable of dealing substantial amounts of damage and can become a distraction, so defeat them using a range of different attacks.
With the Masked Guards gone you can focus your full attention on Mileena. Stay close to her and use a combination of pop-up attacks, air combos and projectiles to reduce her health.
Mileena will use her Roll and Teleport Kick moves regularly during the fight. Avoid them where possible, then move in and launch a series of deadly combos. Occasionally she will counterattack you with her Sai attack; fortunately it does not deal too much damage.
Should you find yourself low on health, use your Wall Jump ability to collect the health at the tops of two shafts at the back of the room.
When her health has been expended she escapes via the portal nearby. |

Foundry
Kano
After entering the prison area of the Foundry, head over to Kitana's cell and interact with her four times. A door opens to your right, letting a number of Demon Handlers into the area to apprehend you. Defeat them, then enter the doorway nearby.
Upon your entry into this area you will find Jax turning a giant wheel. After a spin of the wheel the bars in front of the cells rise, releasing Sonya and Kano of their shackles.
As Jax comforts Sonya, Kano moves in and attacks Jax with his knives, infuriating him and your kombatants.
Jax assists you during this fight, so make good use of him. Although his attacks don't deal much damage, use him to distract Kano while you launch a sneak attack from behind.
When you are close to Kano, use pop-up attacks and medium length air combos to damage him. Avoid standing still for any length of time as he has a dangerous knife move that can take a substantial amount of health from you.
Kano mainly relies on his Cannonball attack during the fight. It cannot be blocked, so make sure to evade it where possible. Refrain from attacking Kano for too long a time as he will use his Cannonball attack to knock you to the ground. Make good use of your projectiles from a distance.
Once Kano has been defeated, follow the on-screen instructions and finish him. After Jax and Sonya leave through a portal, collect the health upgrade nearby. It will be invaluable to you during your final battles. |
