Mortal Kombat X: Johnny Cage Chapter 1 Guide

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you're diving into Mortal Kombat X and ready to kick things off with Johnny Cage. This first chapter throws you right into the action inside a helicopter, and trust me, it gets wild fast. We'll walk through the whole thing, from the initial chatter to surviving a brutal ambush.

Walkthrough

1
You start off in a helicopter, with Sonya Blade co-piloting. Johnny Cage, being the movie star he is, comes over to chat. The pilot confirms you're nearing your destination. Johnny cracks a joke about the pilot's landing skills, and they share a laugh.
2
Johnny then turns his attention to Sonya, who gets up to rally the six soldiers with her. Kenshi, the blind swordsman, is also with them, though he remains standing. Sonya briefs everyone on the plan: reach the far edge of the forest to access a portal leading to Raiden's sky temple, where Shinnok is causing trouble.
3
One soldier voices his disbelief about gods and portals, and Johnny adds to the surrealness by mentioning Kenshi's magic sword. Kenshi explains the stakes: Shinnok wants to poison Earthrealm's life force, the Jinsei, and they need to stop him. Sonya and Johnny confirm they're ready to help.
4
Suddenly, explosions rock the helicopter. You see another chopper in front of yours catch fire and crash. A fireball narrowly misses your chopper, and the burning vehicle explodes on the ground. Another fireball hits a second chopper, which also crashes.
5
Johnny urges the pilot to land, but it's too late. A kunai on a chain smashes through the windshield, impaling the pilot. He's dragged out, and Sonya desperately tries to maintain control of the chopper.
6
Meanwhile, at the back of the helicopter, Scorpion appears as if teleported. He quickly and brutally takes down the six soldiers in a matter of seconds. He then hits Kenshi with a fireball, knocking him out.
7
Quick Time Cutscene: Scorpion throws his chained kunai at Johnny, yelling "GET OVER HERE!". You'll need to react quickly. Johnny catches it and taunts Scorpion, "Damn, I'm good!".
8
Johnny then launches into a Shadow Kick, hitting Scorpion and nearly throwing him out of the chopper. He pulls Scorpion back, slams him around, blocks and parries his attacks, and lands a superman punch.
9
Scorpion pulls out an unchained kunai and charges. Johnny barely blocks and struggles, eventually being forced to the floor. He manages to shove Scorpion away and kick him back.
10
As Scorpion staggers, Kenshi tackles him out of the helicopter. Scorpion latches onto a side handle, with Kenshi holding onto his leg.
11
Johnny notices Sub-Zero has entered the helicopter. This is Kuai Liang, now a revenant. The two soldiers who were knocked out earlier awaken and try to attack Sub-Zero, but he freezes their heads and smashes them. He then throws one of their corpses at Johnny, who dodges. Another severed head rolls towards Johnny, who kicks it out.
12
Sub-Zero creates an ice blade and charges at Johnny. Johnny catches the blade and shatters it, then hits Sub-Zero with a backflip. The chapter likely ends here, setting up further encounters.

Tips

Pay close attention during the Quick Time Cutscene. Missing the prompts here can lead to taking more damage or failing the sequence.
When Scorpion first appears, he's incredibly fast and deadly. Focus on blocking and dodging his initial onslaught.
Kenshi's tackle is crucial for getting Scorpion out of the helicopter, so make sure you survive long enough for that to happen.
Sub-Zero's ice attacks are dangerous. Be ready to block or counter when he creates his ice blade.
