So, you want to know everything about Shinnok's Amulet? This is the video to watch! In it, I cover a lot of ground - everything from its backstory in MK Mythologies to its cameo as a side mission in Konquest Mode to its current whereabouts in Mortal Kombat X. And, boy, is there a lot of ground to cover!
Sometimes they call it "Quan Chi's Amulet" or even "The Amulet of Shinnok." But to me, it will always be "Shinnok's Amulet" no matter what.
Is it a Kamidogu? Is it not a Kamidogu? That is the kind of thing that will be answered here.

My dude, you're probably the biggest expert when it comes to the history of Mortal Kombat. Glad to see this kind of dedication to a series that you love!
I wish they bring back the writers who invented Drahmin, Moloch and their backstories and the awesome ancient Netherrealm runestones and tablets dating back to the creation of the realms. I want to know more about that! Who's with me??
I AGREE
You Mean John Vogel? He still works for the company lol. Granted he isn't writing everything anymore.
Glad i'm not the only one, hope they bring back Drahmin or at the very least mention him in mk11, after all, we've already scene Moloch, Keep your hopes up.
@@anthony77343 can't tell,the writing for mk11 was been horrible,titans,kronika,time hourglass.vogel wouldn't create bs like that.
Totally agree

I feel very stupid.

Awesome breakdown of Shinnok's Amulet! This was explained in such detail that i now know the full story of the Amulet, i also like how you added some humour in there 😂 Keep up the amazing work!
Sub-Zero: I never heard of the netherrealm or shinnok
Raiden: YOU BETTER START BELIEVING IN BOTH!
The new writers don't have enough respect for the old lore. They are changing elements of the story chronologically before the timeline shift. I'm sure it was frustrating for you as well when making this. Amazing video as always. One thing that struck me as odd during MKDA is while the amulet on Quan Chi's body looks different, the amulet in the endings, intro and backgrounds remain as the original. Maybe there is a meaning behind this.
That thing with Quan Chi having the real amulet for the FMV scenes and that... other thing... for the actual in-game skin was odd.
Even more odd was the way that went on for the rest of the 3D era.
I feel like maybe he put the real amulet in some sort of casing, as to make it not look like the amulet. But that's entirely speculation
In the original timeline, Chi was imprisoned in Shinnok's Amulet in his ending in Armagedden.
I really love that line raiden has about the snare Kano left behind when he took the amulet.
"I had to travel to many strange realms to remove it"
I want a game about the misadventures of raiden with a snare stuck to him.
I'm not a big MK fan at all, but Tabmok & History of the Warrior got me back into it. Really like how deep Tabmok goes into his videos! Yeah I'm 3 years late, but all his content is pretty good for a game I loved playing as a kid & grew out of (thanks Gran Turismo, Sonic Adventure, Halo).
from being the one of a kind most powerful item in existence, to having a duplicate version made, to having a fake one made, to being turned into quan chi's amulet, to going back to being one of a kind, slightly less powerful, to having many to fuse in mortal kombat mobile, to being sold on etsy. what a ride
Beautiful done Justin! Really enjoyed it! Also love the shirt!Hope this video get tons of views!!
The best channel ever..im addicted to these videos
3:12 The way Quan Chi snatches Shinnok amulet always make me laugh
So onaga recieved 5 infinity stones and only needed the infinity gaunlet to snap his claws
I got a 2 theory about why shinnok turns into a monster when his amulet is removed in Mkm
1.if I remember correctly in mkm you fight shinnok in the netherrealm, a place filled with evil,
So maybe at the time he was way less powerful and used the amulet to keep his demonic form hidden in places like the netherrealm.
2.shinnok is making himself transform in to a demonic monster as a last resort
18:10 Whoa! How do you always find this kind of stuff?
Anyway, I so much enjoyed your video. And thanks for information. And one moment which I have long wanted to say: 32:50 - 33:03 if this is a slow motion does it mean Quan Chi said his spell very fast? 😂
Video suggestion: Raiden's Amulet from Mortal Kombat 2011.
Berk Karşı yes
Great content as always, keep up the great work and lore vids tabmok!
Man I remember playing mk mythologies as a kid and when I was fighting shinnok I was getting so frustrated because after his energy bar goes down a quarter it just stops moving. As I kid I never paid attention to detail so I didnt know I had to grab his amulet. I remember freezing him then going to grip him and he snatched the amulet and defeated shinnok. I was so happy lolol. Just had to share....by the way I'm learning so much about Mortal Kombat thanks to ur channel. 👍👍
Thanks for your feedback, and for sharing your memories! Yeah, the idea was awesome how it had that final boss (Shinnok) who was so powerful you couldn't really defeat him... just steal his amulet and survive. That's the best you could hope for!
@@ryankarnovski3751 Yeah, that's how you get the ultra-secret blooper reel video! "I heard things.... I heard things!" That was awesome!
But, virtually no one did this without using the cheat codes. And, canonically, there's no way Sub-Zero pulled that off.
Make a video about te One Being!!
Am I the only one who thinks that Mythologies had actual good acting
The acting wasn't any worse than Annihilation. But "good"? Nah....
I have to say I’m glad I found your channel man so many other RUclips channels will give you 10 facts on mortal Kombat and won’t go in depth like you do thank you sir 🙏🏻
That's awesome! Welcome and I'm glad you found the channel!
Awesome video man! Great production on this one
Well, as Raiden said; Quan Chi only knew a fraction of its functions. So I can accept NRS retconing a bunch of other features into the amulet in later games.
I always had so many questions back then. Like why didn't raiden show up and stop quan from taking the amulet in the first place instead of waiting on sub to let him take off?
Also, why did shinnok even turn into a demon once the amulet was taken, if it was just a cheap duplicate?
Raiden's timing sucked. I guess he doesn't love punctuality the way the women in MK do.
As far as Shinnok's beast mode in MKM, that might not have been related to the power of the Amulet. It may have been just the way he gets when he's in a really bad mood.
One could think that Raiden teleported there (from Sky Temple or otherwise) after seeing the final elemental guardian fall. But that begs the question why he didn’t show up when he first or second one fell. Probably knocking back shots with BoRaiCho thinking the elemental gods had it covered.
Raiden is written with an Y on the mythologies panflet
@@MKNash8 Yup! It's spelled as "Rayden" in the game's credits, too!
8:40 i'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that the amulet was different
So basically sub zero/noob saibot actually caused awhole lot of issues thats still going on
I don't think he really caused the issues, more like he was used as a pawn in the issues Quan Chi and Shinnok were causing. To be fair, Bi-Han never actually even touched that Amulet. He did pave the way for Quan Chi to get it though.
5:56
Is that where the idea of Corrupted Shinnok came from
Exactly right! MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero was the first game to show off that ability of Shinnok's, and MKX recreated it and made it as awesome as ever!
Well that means there's going to be a part 2 on Shinnok's Amulet where some of the characters who welds the Amulet or keep it as a trophy
Hey Tabmok99. Have you heard that the Beta to MKT for N64 has been released. Its like an N64 port of UMK3. Check it out and maybe do a video on it.
On god I thought Quan Chi was gonna say “good bye nigga”🤣🤣
Awesome video Justin, keep up the great work.
Why would Quan Chi want to free Shinnok? I thought he wanted the amulet for himself rather than for Shinnok.
That's a fair question-- A lot of people get the impression that Quan Chi is much more loyal to Shinnok in MKX than he was in previous games.
I have a different take. I think Quan Chi is absolutely planning on eliminating his competition (e.g., the other bad guys) -- but only after wiping out the forces of good first. That seemed to be his M.O. in both his MK4 ending and the MK Armageddon "Dark Alliance" scene. Therefore, as long as Raiden and other Earthrealm heroes are still around, it makes sense for him to bring about the return of Shinnok.
@@tabmok99 Ah I see now. Thanks.
@momo xmomox ok, but I dont think shinnok will spare your soul either way...
@momo xmomox meh..
Great videos! I've been going through your uploads and watching all of your stuff.
Awesome to hear! Glad you enjoy and I'll keep putting out new kontent!
Can't believe I missed this. The longer these mk vids are the better
Mythologies gets a lot of hate but it was a really ambitious game.
That storyline didn't go anywhere. Quan Chi actually did make a duplicate and merit the real one, but here died before he could show his true colors.
Discovered your vids last night . Love MK more then I do so I'm hooked now of course. Ty for your content. I have plenty to watch now. Haha
It always annoyed me how there was shinnoks amulet (which was also called Quan chis amulet, as you mentioned) that Quan chi wore. Yet there was a different design on it when Quan chi wore it? Never made sense. It's like they forgot what it looked like for a bit lol
Also gets me that the elder gods created all these keys to lock up the amulet knowing that people could track them down again and release it? Why not just lock it up and throw away the key and be done with it lol
So true
Because it’s not in kronukas design
During the cutscene of Raiden and Sub Zero I never expected Raiden with a deep voice 🤣
Happy birthday 🎊🎁🎂🎉🎈
Deception is the best mk game imo
Ah man... that fight night chat. I recognize one of the names in that chat. Good times
I've always went off of mkmsz. Everything else don't matter to me lol
I wonder if the kamidogu are like the infinity stones and the amulet is kind of like the gauntlet that allows you to use all of them
Tabmok is backwards for kombaT
Do they ever bring up Shinnok's Amulet in MK 11? Cuz if they do I really want to follow up.
Interesting video. Also, love the jokes here.
I wish they would bring back drahmin
About Shaolin Monks ending and what Ed said in the chat, I like to think that, what Quan Chi found on Shao Kahn's body was actually the replica he gave to Shinnok in MK4.
Maybe Shao Kahn tought he had the original and was tricked as well, but now that he died, Quan Chi could use that replica to give it to Shinnok.
Makes some sense for me...
Only problem with that is that Quan Chi already gave Shinnok the dupliate. The one that Sub-Zero takes from Shinnok at the end of MKM is actually the fake! The ending in MKSM is therefore very difficult to make sense of.
@@tabmok99 damn, haven't tought about that 🤦♂️ Good point...
Was sub-Zero trip into netherrealm what tainted him to become noob sabiot
Maybe. He was already not on the right path - he was a thief and assassin, after all. Raiden wanted to see him change his ways and become a hero, but it just didn't work out for him.
@@tabmok99 perhaps his younger brother had a better vision of the Lin Kuei than what Sektor and his Lin Kuei grandmaster had envisioned, and Raiden saw the good within his soul than Bi-Han.
Shinook and Quan Chi ruled.
This gives much needed context for understanding MKX’s story. Thanks!
Well done!
Will you do a history on Motaro and Kintaro and Goro and Onaga and Blaze and Moloch
And Shao Khan
Sonya should have hid the amulet up her arse - that's _definitely_ somewhere that nobody'll be able to find it. :P
tabmok99 you are a very loveable person
This makes me want to play MKM:SZ. It's sitting on the table in front of me.
Hi! I have a question for you... Why can't the elder gods kill Shao Kahn easily az the end of Mk11? / What did Shinnok thought when he said at the beginning of mk11 now Raiden knows the truth because he wears his amulett?
So did Quan Chi made two maybe three fake duplicates for Shinnok?
The first fake duplicate was the one Quan Chi gave Shinnok after Bi Han retrieved the real one from the Temple of Elements and Bi Han stole (back) from Shinnok at the end of MKMSZ.
The second fake duplicate was the one somehow Shinnok has in MK4 notwithstanding Bi Han stole (back) the first fake duplicate from him at the end of MKMSZ.
The third fake duplicate was the one found by Shujinko after Shinnok told Shujinko to find it in Netherealm because Quan Chi left it somewhere in Netherealm in MKD notwithstanding the first fake duplicate was stolen (back) by Bi Han at the end of MKMSZ?
tabmok99 as a secret character in the next MK game.and he has Shinnoks amulet.
Sounds good - as long as I don't get trapped inside it!
Cut scene to the nether realm was cheesy as fuck lmao
There is obviously one major difference between the two timelines: in the new timeline, Quan Chi has given Shinnok his real amulet. While the events of Mythologies take place before the timeline split and are canon to both timelines (meaning Quan Chi tricked Shinnok with the fake amulet in the past), when and why he decided to give him the real one is a mystery.
Right! This makes me think that, in the new timeline, Quan Chi still gave Shinnok the fake (since it happened prior to MK1) and then later revealed his act of deception.
It was probably less a confrontation (as the MK4 ending) and more of a revelation. "I've been keeping the real one safe for you this whole time, Lord Shinnok. Sorry to keep this part of my plan hidden from you, but it was necessary to ensure Raiden and the forces of light from getting ahold of it before our plan was ready."
I love your shirts man😁
Thank you, my closet is full of Mortal Kombat t-shirts!!
Well fuckin made my bwoa 💪
3:31 captions
Bro I respect the information that you are putting out
You are such a dedicated and wise super fan, and powerful expert, I would believe that for your video you would have managed to obtain the *actual Shinnok's amulet 😅❤
then just casually handle it and toss it up and down for a second and then focus back on your video 😂😂
are you planning on doing MK11 videos such as this one
Where did you get an amulet replica I've been looking for one forever
Here you go:
www.etsy.com/shop/SmokyDragonLair
I want to know what happened in mk4 comics
my long lost brother, i like your stories and reviews haha
So the Amulet CAN be destroyed, but it's just you shouldn't destroy it otherwise Shinnok will be freed
JFC! Raiden's chin! LOL!
Where can I get one of those shinnoks amulets you have in the video? I'd really like to get one myself
Hey here is a link:
www.etsy.com/listing/640437895/sorcerers-amulet
This showed Rayden was manipulative.
Very well done!
is that a typo in that mk mythologies book looks like it says farth instead of earth
I don't know why it looks like that, it really does day Earth in the actual book.
I believe you forgot something, the possibility that Quan Chi is the Amulet. I’m pretty sure this is why Armageddon refers to it as Quan Chi’s amulet.
ruclips.net/video/D8gKDIVrXxA/видео.html
where do u buy your shirts?
I usually buy them online or make them myself
Stream*
Smokey dragon lair.. nah I don't want a replica
Wait, still not explained how Shao Khan got the amulet. My head hurts...
He points out it doesn't make sense.
good content to smoke weed to and learn about mk
Does this mean that every elder god can create their own amulet?
Asking the real questions here!
It could be a Sauron Lord of the Rings situation where he's just the one of his kind uniquely skilled at craftwork of magical items.
Thankfully you aren't holding the real one,how much damage could you even do...
I have it, but it pains me to use it.
Please do a another live sream
False Amulet
Shinoks amulet lame I hate the name
Ahhhh Mortal Kombat deception,deadly alliance &
Armageddon...very sad times for Mortal Kombat!!
Ginger
That’s not the most powerful the cami Dogus are the strongest
Probably but only when their power is combined!
Also - arguably Shinnok's Amulet IS a Kamidogu, according to the MKX comics, as shown at 26:55
tabmok99 yeah true thanks for noticing btw
Most powerful single artifact.
Shinnok is by far the saddest most pathetic Mortal Kombat end boss of all time & his stupid ass corrupted form was just a
F🤬cking joke.
This story's trash
