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:
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.
Sun Do Festival
In order to access this mesa, you will need to first beat the boss from the Fire Temple Mesa.
In contrast to the last invasion season, we now get to explore the streets of Sun Do during the day, with some leftover festivities. The map starts you at the same location as the first you want through the opening portal. After making your way past the canal, you will have a few paths to choose from, you will want to hit up the node tower "At the Door" though, as it contains the Princess Crown, the key item for this mesa.

You will want to use Use Nitara's Fatality for the first Klue node of this mesa at the "Here We Go" node. Later down the line, you will also find another Klue node in "Who's Next" which will require Darrius' Fatalaity to unlock. If you want to see all the klues for all the Mesas here.
Before long, you will find yourself in the later half of the mesa, with the Bloody Fangs gate over on the right side of the map. As always you will need to beat the final boss of the season to unlock these.

Not all chests will contain skin rewards, some may just be palettes, relics, or other items. Keep in mind as well that depending on the skins you own, you may receive other rewards. There is also an extra klue node in the Bloody Fangs area under the "Who's Jennifer??" node for which you will need to use Frost's Brutality, unlocked at Level 2 of the Kameo.

As you make your way through, 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 in light blue and paths you can’t move into in red. You can also follow the green arrow for directions as to the quickest route to the end of the mesa.
After The Sun Do Festival
Once completed, you will need to make your way through the portal and into the Living Forest. You can then return to the mesa map and visit the Wu Shi Temple or Gateway Portal mesas if you like, as these are now unlocked. If you have saved up some koin, you can visit the temple to buy some level-up Konsumables if you want to breeze through the remaining mesas or buy an item to reset your character's points so far.
