In the section after the Brotherhood Of Shadow, long jump over the gap with the tiny waterfall.
Go through the door.
Awaken the Clay Statues and destroy their shields.
Draw one of the Clay Statues near the large stone column on the opposite side of the stream.
Throw the Clay Statue into the pillar.
Return to where the little waterfall was to find Reptile's coin.

Rescue Kabal and Get His Hookswords

To find Kabal:

When you come to the two doors that are covered with human bodies in the Wastelands, go through the second door.
Avoid the incoming boulders and climb to the top of the mountain.
Free Kabal from his cage. He leaves his hookswords as a sign of gratitude.

Easy Health

Any time you reload a save file, you begin at full health, so quit the game and reload the file immediately after saving if you run low on health.

Easy 1000 Experience Points

Obtain the combo ranking of "Toasty," then immediately press the Start button. The words "Toasty 1000" appear in the middle of the screen, and you're awarded 1000 points. You can repeat this trick any time you get "Toasty."

How to Fight Secret Bosses

There are several hidden boss fights in MK: Shaolin Monks.

Secret Boss	How to Find
Ermac	During one of the Smoke missions, interact with the warrior on the left of the Warriors arena three times.
Kano	Right before you fight Shao Khan, talk to Kitana four or five times. Defeat the guards that come, then follow the path from which they came.
Mileena	Go to the first save point in the Living Forest, then use the Swing ability until you hit a tree. Climb the tree and follow the long bridge.

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks Easter Eggs

MK: Shaolin Monks contains a few Easter eggs for observant players.

Santa Claus

Right before you see Reptile in Goro's layer, stand by the lion. If you wait in this spot, you'll see Santa Claus, a witch, and a rocket ship fly in front of the moon.
