Mortal Kombat 1 - Invasions "Blood Moon" Living Forest Mesa Guide

Mortal Kombat 1 Invasion mode looks to provide players with season content in an interesting new format for the franchise. Unlike the franchise's previous entry called Krypt, Mortal Kombat 1’s single-player focused content presents a table-top-like game for players to explore, find secrets, and eventually unlock more cosmetics through its Seasonal Koins system and chests.

Throughout these guides, we will be exploring the details of Invasions, how to complete them, tips and tricks, and what rewards you can expect in the season of the Blood Moon.

All Mortal Kombat 1 Invasion Season 2 "Blood Moon" Mesas:

• Fire Temple
• Sun do Festival
• Living Forest
• Shang Tsung's Laboratory
• Tarkatan Colony
• Rampart

The Story

The second season of Mortal Kombat 1 invasions, the season of the Blood Moon, sees a Vaeternus that managed to conquer Outworld and beyond, eventually reaching over all the realms. As Nitara and the rest of the vampires never found balance, they eventually reached across timelines, into Liu Kang's, to exert their will unto his. They even went as far as converting many heroes into vampires.

Now is up to you to dismantle their conquest, and travel through the mesas to reach the Rampart, and the home of the ravenous Vaeternus Nitara to finally rid Liu Kang's timeline of their presence.

Living Forest

Before you can play through the Living Forest, you will need to have completed the daytime Sun Do Festival.

The living forest returns and once again it is the largest of the mesas by node count. Many of its path are optional, so remember that you can check if you are missing on nodes by looking at the path's color. Uncleared paths are marked in green, cleared ones are in light blue, and paths you can’t move into are in red. You can also follow the green arrow for directions as to the quickest route to the end of the mesa.

As you make your way through the forest from the dead side of it, through the old ruined castle, and into the living section you should come across the "Lets Get Crazy" node the first klue node in your path. To complete it you will need to use Sonya's fatality.

As you continue, pick up Sektor as your main Kameo, since later on in the node "In The Dark" you will have to use Sektor's brutality, unlocked at level 2. This node also hols the "Lost Soul" key item, which unlocks the final boss of this mesa.

Prior to the end of the end of the Mesa, you should see two Bloody Fangs gates. To unlock them, you must beat the invasion's final boss. It's also worth noting that the two gates open up two disconnected areas, so you will want to explore both.

After The Living Forest

Once done with the living forest, your next stop is Shang Tsung's Laboratory. Remember that you have access to both the Gateway Portal and the Wu Shi Academy, where you can level up your character further or upgrade your talismans with different effects before progressing.
