A thing that I didn't include in the video is that at one point the Shaolin temple might have been unlocked when you obtained a certain item and talked to Apep. Didn't include this because of the weird leftover code for it, it basically checks if you have rain (as in the function) and you talk to Apep and a specific point in time - this code however does not seem to set the door function so decided to skip it to not cause confusion. Was it worth waiting almost 20 years for 2 chairs and a table?
lol no. but i think konquest in mk deception was left with a lot of not-finished stuff maybe there was not time left to work on that or money related limitations
Honestly yeah, it was worth it. Not because of what actually was there (or rather not), but because it fueled the game with so much mistery and made it extra special lol. Great video! And I look forward to try Ultimate Deception one of these days. It looks superb 🙌🏻
@@HolaQueTal-gi6ru Deception con 19 personajes sin terminar (3 escondidos y directamente sin utilizar en el konquest y solo disponible por modificaciones del juego) o algunos que directamente ni le dieron combos, otros que pasaron de pelear por separado a juntos: hola
I love the cutroomfloor content man. Absolutely necessary for a game like MKD that contained so much mystery in a time where there were no explanations and only rumours on online forums and older siblings/cousins
One rumor that i remember seeing quite a lot in my childhood was one that said that motaro was a secret playable character in MK : Shaolin Monks, many popular videogame pages provided a cheat code to do such thing, obviously it was fake, but a thing that i always found curious was the fact that it was always stated that the code only worked in the ps2 version of the game.
It's worth pointing out that the PSP version of this, Mortal Kombat Unchained, does have Jax and Blaze as playable characters. So they definitely were cut from this version and added in later.
all this sort of stuff has potential to get finally used if they ever do a remaster/remake for Deception the monk temple mystery is what made me explore Konquest mode extensively, my best friend I tried to do every conceivable action possible inside the village/earthrealm etc. Collect every coin, chest, do every hidden sidequest, talk to everyone, punch everyone, try interacting with everything, meditate etc. etc. Konquest mode is probable the reason I fell in love with open world games, always looking for that secret around the corner
I was hoping you'd make a video on this! I think the jade key change was probably a QA / QOL change to make the key more visible. Would love to see a video on the other items that don't seem to have any use like the ninja star
I don't think it's a QOL change considering you get the correct colors when values are swapped, its interesting how it was faster to change the icon than to change the colors. As for other items, I have to check every script if they contain at least a single reference to an item so that might take a while to figure out.
about temple. i guess there was a quest where you been told that there's a hidden door, you go in then you took/steal something then leave and never comeback to the temple. basically the guards are guarding something valuable in temple
Great video, I can NEVER get enough of MK Deception and especially Konquest! One thing I always gotta ask though: Is there any trace of an unused indoor Edenia stage in the game? In Konquest mode every realm has two stages: an indoors one used for most of the mandatory training sections, and an outdoors one used for all the other fights and non-mandatory trainings. ...That is with the exception of Edenia, which only ever uses an outdoor stage! Since there is only one mandatory training in that realm (Sindel) I always wondered if the game actually features an indoor Edenia stage which was left unused when they set Sindel's training outdoors. I checked online and in no "MKD scrapped content" video or page is there a mention of an unused Konquest stage, but at the same time I don't know if people really went looking for it.
Hey man, been watching your deception videos, they're really cool. It's my favorite MK game, and you show a lot of kool stuff. Keep the videos coming :) I don't mind if you do videos on deadly alliance, shaolin monks and armageddon as well :D
Sou brasileiro!!! Like !!! Parabéns pelos vídeos sinto muito quando vídeo está acabando por mim ficava horas vendo .... Ja vi todos seus vídeos de MKD pfv traga mais ❤❤❤
What gets me about the Shaolin Temple conversation is that they had Shujinko asking how does he prove himself to the Shaolin just to feed your hopes that there was actually a way to do it and then enter the temple. Midway, bunch of fucking trolls.
There was 1 mystery that always bugged me growing up.. and that was the "Ninja Star" you get from the boy sleeping in the woods! What was its purpose?! Someone please tell me 😂
Hello Ermaccer. I wanted to add some information regarding the Hotaru And Ashrah In Puzzle Kombat mystery. A RUclips video titled, "Mortal Kombat Deception - E3 2004 Live Demo With Ed Boon", Hotaru and Ashrah are present in Puzzle Kombat as locked characters in the Character Select Screen. Have a great day.
Well at least we got Blaze and Jax in Unchained but a bit of this stuff like the Shaolin Temple is new to me. I don't think I ever heard of Quan Chi's Realm being its own separate map
Can you check the older builds for any cut content? And a link to hotaru's puzzle kombat gameplay? I'd like to see if he had any special moves in that gameplay shown
Hi pal. Can you tell me please, when it's possible to create and perform our own fatalities for every character? Will such a feature available in this game?
Any thing about when u scroll the the coffins as fast a you can (front to back not side to side) in krypt and if u wayhch the letters on the coffins youll see wq or qw i cant remember exactly i haven't played it in awhile
It's one of the earliest things to be added to the village map, maybe it was about Shaolin monks after all considering player is still named "monk" internally.
One thing I am curious about, Why does Nitara have a unique Dragon Teeth model despite her being Unused entirely, Were they a cut design for Kira(if so why are the equipped on Nitara then) or did they possibly intend for her to use them in fight at somepoint. I always personally theorized that she was meant to be a fight challenge for the Vampire Hunter Quest in Outworld, But that was always little more than a guess. Curious to see if you happen to have any ideas. Been loving your UMKD Mod by the way it's phenomenal.
Nitara's weapon model is "wp_knife" and Kira's "wp_kira_knife", I guess its just a generic model - don't really think too much about NPCs in MK as they are usually built up from leftover stuff and dont't have any meaning.
I don't think they were intended for Nitara to use, cause iirc you don't fight Nitara in konquest, they prob gave it to har as they didn't want to port Nitara's actual weapon the Kama as she not intended for this game
@@InotziaCityArt You don't fight her, But I always had the theory that maybe you were meant to fight her in Outworld(Since they're is a side quest that involves her) but it was running off nothing but the weapons presence and loads of speculation, I agree pretty much with Ernaccer though the knives are likely just a generic model(What they we're going to be used for though I have zero idea to speculate on).
I know the one from the netherrealm where the 3 onis are standing the key doesn't do anything and the one the guy gives you in the earthrealm village simply unlocks a locked hut nest to the first dojo
I'd say what MKU added was the base roster (so MKD + Jax, Blaze, Frost and Kitana), there's pretty much nothing leftover for Shao Kahn or Goro in the PS2 version at least so these 2 must have been made up for GC/somehow never included or tested in PS2.
i feel blaze and jax were only psp exclusive for unchained as deception left them unused due possibly we would had use 12 or 8 MG in our memory cards for the consoles
I believe that if you were to add more characters to the roster, they could be, for example, Kung Lao, Shang Tsung, and Quan Chi. Kung Lao would maintain the voice of Sub-Zero/Raiden, but Shang Tsung and Quan Chi could have the voice of Kabal or Nightwolf instead of the young Shujinko and Bo' Rai Cho's voice. They could function either individually or as a duo, similar to Noob-Smoke, being called "Deadly Alliance."
@@ermaccer Ah, I use Wallpaper Engine so I was going to use the video instead of an image if you had it. Doesn't matter if you don't, the image works fine too
I've wrote my own script decompiler (github.com/ermaccer/mkoasm ), while debug symbols exist on GC - most of them don't match PS2 or PSP so I had to do a lot of manual reversing to look at stuff. A lot of MKvsDC scripts actually still use MKDA/MKD function naming (names are included in scripts there), so that's also a point of reference.
I feel like temple supposed to be part of plot. If be more specific, there's should've been Earthrealm kamidogu. Don't you think it's strange that something so important just "laying around", like a fucking artifacts from Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl?!
Very interesting that Jax and Blaze were cut, you'd think it'd be easy to include them since they could be easily ported from Deadly Alliance, a shame they didn't make it in.. is what I would say if Ultimate Deception and Unchained didn't both exist.
ruclips.net/video/M6208QVvh50/видео.html - Wouldn't "Quan Chi's Realm" be the Nethrrealm? If so we absolutely do go there. As for Tsung's Island, I COULD be lead to believe it was planned at one point, but cut, considering Kenshi and Shujinko plan to go there but Damashi's liek "Naw..."
A thing that I didn't include in the video is that at one point the Shaolin temple might have been unlocked when you obtained a certain item and talked to Apep.

lol no. but i think konquest in mk deception was left with a lot of not-finished stuff maybe there was not time left to work on that or money related limitations
What's interesting is that the temple thingy seems to have been implemented quite early, so I guess it lost its priority at some point.
I really really wish that the new konquest will be like this but obviously with today's gaming tech there could be so much more added
Honestly yeah, it was worth it. Not because of what actually was there (or rather not), but because it fueled the game with so much mistery and made it extra special lol.
Great video! And I look forward to try Ultimate Deception one of these days. It looks superb 🙌🏻
Is there more stuff that you'll cover? Maybe from MKA?
Everything about this game was not only ahead of its time but it has an atmosphere that's some calming and peaceful
THIS is the type of content I will watch EVERY single upload of my dude!
You are a abominable kid you idiot. Go to hell

This might be the most unfinished MK of them all, in terms of cut or unfinished content. It's fascinating g

The konquest mode in deception is so awesome. Ive always felt like i didn't see half of what it had even though i finished it.
I remember people trying to figure out the super unlockables back in the day on gamefaqs. Good times.
One rumor that i remember seeing quite a lot in my childhood was one that said that motaro was a secret playable character in MK : Shaolin Monks, many popular videogame pages provided a cheat code to do such thing, obviously it was fake, but a thing that i always found curious was the fact that it was always stated that the code only worked in the ps2 version of the game.

Great video! I remember the Jade Key mystery and I am glad the "Super Unlockables" is finally debunked :)
Best thing is that Jade key was always there, it was just looking blue lol
Love seeing the behind the scenes coding for this game. Phenomenal video as always Ermaccer!
This game has the best konquest mode and a lot of mysteries
all this sort of stuff has potential to get finally used if they ever do a remaster/remake for Deception

Salve ! Brazil estou aqui por UMKD parabéns vc é demais continue trazendo deception pfv
I theorize that maybe originally a lot of these area's in Konquest were gonna be accessible but maybe cut during development
Even if, there's no way they have made any further than concepts or ideas.
boy do i yearn to play through Deception Konquest mode again..
Very interesting to see!
Can you check the older builds for any cut content? And a link to hotaru's puzzle kombat gameplay? I'd like to see if he had any special moves in that gameplay shown
Yeah puzzle Kombat, I remember one time i was shocked that i could play as Onaga, Monster and Quan Chi in that mode
Epic video
hi i just saw the mk deception mod you are amazing
Will you include the remaining DA characters? (Cyrax, Reptile, Drahmin)
maybe
What about WQ “Where’s Quan Chi” and that random screaming from the Order Realm?
Jax and Blaze is actually playable on the psp version which is Mortal kombat unchained
Hi pal. Can you tell me please, when it's possible to create and perform our own fatalities for every character? Will such a feature available in this game?
Its hilarous how Midway knew about "Torch" instead Blaze.

@ermaccer i have a little Quest for u Will you add any more characters there até Kaono, Striker,Kintaro,Cyrax
I always thought that when you got all the keys that you would unlock Onaga.
MKD Konquest mode was the GTA San Andreas of MK 💯🔥 just imagine a remake of this mode with more options
based
Deception needs a remaster and more content
What about the "mysterious key'? Never found use to it
I know the one from the netherrealm where the 3 onis are standing the key doesn't do anything and the one the guy gives you in the earthrealm village simply unlocks a locked hut nest to the first dojo
And let’s not forget about the colored coins they had I miss those they were awesome and they took them away when Armageddon was released
Whats the name of the song that plays in the jade key part?
Wonder what the original intended roster was planned to be

How can we go back to old place? Cause there say we need key
i feel blaze and jax were only psp exclusive for unchained as deception left them unused due possibly we would had use 12 or 8 MG in our memory cards for the consoles
What about quest with Raiden Staff?
Is has a real ending or not? Or when Kung Lao left you a staff - this is true ending?
Como você entende esses códigos? Como faço pra estudar isso?
I wish mk still did this type of gameplay
I believe that if you were to add more characters to the roster, they could be, for example, Kung Lao, Shang Tsung, and Quan Chi.
