How to farm Skeleton Keys?

[LimaVerde]

If you're done with Kollector skins and good stuff, you'll see that he will offer some items in exchange of 200 skeleton keys. I wonder if there is any ways to farm it.

From what I've heard, just spending hours and hours resetting the Krypt again and again, running around watching the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ chest opening animation for the 300 millionth time hoping the RNG gods smile upon you but most of the time getting yet more garbage to add to your 29th Mt Everest of useless crap and if that's true ♥♥♥♥ that. The MK11 Krypt made me an RNG atheist a looooong time ago.

Like Jay said... open litterly EVERY chest, even the invisible ones... when you are done, reset all chest with coins and open all chests again.... basicly do like 3-4 runs of full krypt costing millions of coins... good luck and enjoy Netherrealm Studios ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!

Once you reset the krypt (to max) like 5 times. All the hanging dead bodies give skeleton keys.

I am considering doing the resets but I haven't seen anyone else mentioning that. Can you confirm it?

And do I need to open all the chests and reset them?

Literally or figuratively?

Looks like the recent patches make it tough now to get skeleton keys again. When it was working I collected like 100 skeleton keys. Sometimes Kollector offers rare tower keys in exchange for 200 skeleton keys.

The Story:
First there used to be a chest in the krypt near the entrance that used to always reward a skeleton key. Then NRS removed that and made skeleton keys impossible to find. Users complained. Then NRS said "OK" and made it available. BUT this time, they made it available EVERYWHERE so ppl started getting 100s of them. Users made fun of NRS. So, NRS said "OK lets fix this" and pushed a patch that made skeleton keys almost impossible to find. And to find an "use" for the skeleton keys already collected, they made certain tower keys available to trade for 200 skeleton keys.

So, long story short, if u have skeleton keys you're lucky. Enjoy.
if you're entering krypt for the first time now and searching for skeleton keys, U won't be able to farm them and u won't get enough to buy those tower keys. So, don't try.

I did that more than 5 times, and I've got from hanging bodies just hearts, and just from time to time randomly a skeleton key. Not to mention, that after I reseted the krypt for the 3rd time again and agian, I've got straight consumables garbage from every chest or more coins/souls. So there isn't any motivation to reset it again. And in top of that I'm still missing 2 soundtracks to unlock and 1 recipe, and I don't even know how to get them, because of this RNG trash. This it's straight a poorly game design for game unlockables. Don't know why in the first place they were thinking on RNG, when the MK9 and MKX krypts were way better, to get static rewards with the consideration that if you fully complete the krypt you get all of the unlockable rewards from there.

[Creed Bratton]

They fixed all the exploits for farming keys and they increaded the chance of getting them on normal chests

Btw the rewards you can trade for the 200 keys are useless, once you get all the skin and gear from kollector and the shrine, all posible skins and geats from normal chest and all the special chests and all forge items you have no reason to enter the krypt unless you want the kl items on the special events every 5 days

Trust me, i've done full runs buying everything like 7 times and you only get useless augments, forge items or tower modifiers

I've opened over 3k chests and i'm still missing concept art, the krypt is either bugged or the content i'm missing is locked until further updates just to keep you going back

Same here, missing some concept arts, etc., I would say, broken RNG. Is it the same on console? Just curious.

[Creed Bratton]

The was a bug in the krypt that awarded some concept art for breaking jars after the sindel update, it worked for a couple of hours on pc also and i got a lot of stuff i was missing like music, recipes and some concept art but i wasn't able to complete all the items, some console player claimed that they completed them with that bug

[jaywolfenstien]

It's funny. They probably intended this gradual unlock to prolong interest. This is the first MK, no scratch that, first *fighting game*, with unlocks where I stopped giving a ♥♥♥♥.

I've unlocked nearly all of the Krypt already, what could you possibly need
the use for 200 Skeleton Keys for? They open Doors, but are there even
200 Doors in the Krypt to start with?

From what I know so far, Skeleton Keys only Open Doors in the
Underground portion of the Krypt, if they do above, then it's like a very
minimum small case of Keys...

Underground in Goros Area, you have about 3 Doors left of the first Area,
in the Jails, possibly 2 Doors in another Room...
Back to main halls you have 2 Doors in Goros Throne Room,
left of Goros Throne you have no Doors at all, to the right of Goros Throne Room
you also have no Doors...
To the left of the Table & Chairs you have a Room where maybe 5 Doors,
if there are any doors beyond that I have not progressed much further beyond
that point...
To the right of the Table & Chairs you have a Room with no Doors, Another Room
with no Doors, but to the right of Table & Chairs going further you have I can't
Remember if there are any Rooms with Doors...

So far we spent about 12 Skeleton Keys by now...

In courtyard there is 1 Door at the Pit,
There is another Area where you go down some stairs into a Cave,
there is no Doors here...
There is a Door on a Bridge I think going to Goros Area Underground,
& it connects to the Courtyard, I think it may have a few doors inside,
no idea how many, though... I think at least 1 Door...

There were a few Elevators in Goros Area that lifts you up into New Sections,
these have maybe a Door, or 2 at most...

We now have spent about 16 Skeleton Keys, There is a Door in Goros Area,
that doesn't use Skeleton Keys at all, but inside you might find 1 to 3 Doors,
this now brings us to 19 Skeleton Keys...

However you get below the Pit, I had forgotten, & to a Separate Area
in the bottom of the Pit, no idea how many Doors go twards these areas,
but they don't present any Doors once outside...

All in all, there are probably about 25 to 30 Keys that you need for
1 Play Through of the whole Krypt... Multiplying that by 5, you still
don't even come remotely close to 200 Keys...

Do you get anything good in this rare towers for 200 keys?
