Onaga then returns to Outworld to seek this amulet and begin to reshape the realms. It would thereafter continue to play a major role in the various Mortal Kombat and struggles for the realms most notably, during the events of Mortal Kombat 4, when Shinnok would rise from the Netherrealm in another bid for total conquest.īefore the events of Mortal Kombat: Deception, when Shujinko gathered all six Kamidogu and placed them on the altar in the Nexus, Onaga, the Dragon King of Outworld, appears to Shujinko and reveals that the seventh and final spot on the altar is meant for the Sacred Amulet - Shinnok's Amulet, then in the hands of the sorcerer Quan Chi. Quan Chi had delivered to his master Shinnok an exact duplicate, while he kept the original himself.

It was later retrieved by the original Sub-Zero after the Lin Kuei were hired by the demon sorcerer, Quan Chi. For ages thereafter, the amulet remained mostly unknown and hidden deep within the Temple of Elements in Earthrealm. Millennia ago, Shinnok created the amulet as a central focus of his divine power, in a bid to control all of the realms. In Mortal Kombat X, the Amulet of Shinnok is now made of gold but otherwise remains identical to its original incarnation. Each includes alchemical symbols, shapes, and parts of I Ching trigrams, all of which pertain to their respective element. The four sections of the amulet are etched with the elemental forces of Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire.

It is a bronze medallion with a green gemstone embedded in its center.
