Liu Kang‘s flames have ignited a rebirth of the Mortal Kombat universe – complete with a deadly new Invasion mode. This single-player gauntlet traps players in klue-littered domains filled with special towers. Toppling these towers allows warriors to employ Kameos: AI fighters who aid them in kombat. But Invasion‘s true rewards come from decoding cryptic Invasion Klues scattered across each realm.
Solving Klues grants access to hidden treasure troves bursting with Koins, soul vases, and keys for unlocking secret areas. One such key is the elusive Festival Key – a prize found nowhere else but the "Never Ends" tower within Invasion‘s Sun Do Festival.
As a martial arts grandmaster and longtime Mortal Kombat strategist, I‘ve navigated the darkest corners of Invasion. In this guide, you‘ll learn precisely how to locate and conquer the Never Ends tower to claim the coveted Festival Key.
An Immortal Fighting Championship – Invasion Mode Explained
Before chasing Festival Keys, let‘s examine Invasion basics. Mortal Kombat‘s fan-favorite character customization and RPG progression return in Invasion. You construct kombatants using special amulets and unlock new moves/skins by acquiring Koins and Nether Stone.
Once your fighter‘s primed for kombat, you enter Invasion – a series of war-torn domains ruled by treacherous overlords. Invasion retains Mortal Kombat‘s visceral combat, while adding new variables:
- Invasion Klues – cryptic clues scattered across each domain, yielding hidden rewards when solved
- Kameos – AI helpers unlocked by completing localized towers. Charge supers to summon Kameos for aid.
- Control Points – fast travel locations, letting you pivot between realms quickly
Now let‘s enter the Sun Do Festival and snag our Festival Key prize!
Sun Do Festival – Tower Details and Landmarks
Outworld‘s Sun Do Festival plays host to the Never Ends tower and our desired Festival Key. Sun Do contains traditional Asian structures like pagodas mingled with battle arenas and bloody pillars – a reminder of Outworld‘s eternal fighting legacy.
Before attacking Never Ends, let‘s review vital Sun Do landmarks:
- Central Statue – large warrior statue honoring ancient GENERAL vez nan hak. Scout nearby for the Never Ends tower.
- Dragon Door – elaborate dragon-encrusted door containing the Festival Gate Key unlocks.
- A-Roof Building – small angular structure with an A-shaped roof, located directly left of the Never Ends tower.
With those landmarks burned into your memory, let‘s ascend the Never Ends challenge tower!
Conquering the "Never Ends" Tower
Spot the Never Ends tower using the Central Statue and A-Roof building as guides. Slightly northwest, you‘ll discover an ominous dark tower guarded by a neon green max amulet.
Interact with the tower‘s base to launch Never Ends – a grueling ten stage challenge filled with tough opponents like Shokan infantry, Osh-Tekk warriors, and viscous Raptors. Bosses include skilled Shokans Masou and Aptak alongside Shao Kahn‘s Rottweilers reaching lvl 20.
I recommend summoning Kameo allies often to counter monster hordes using their own numbers. Also utilize solid fundamentals like Amplified projectiles to punish reckless opponents. Employ these strategies to best Never Ends and obtain the Festival Key from Sub-Zero upon completing the final Exhibition match.
Unlocking Sun Do Secrets with the Festival Key
Return to the statue bearing GENERAL vez nan hak‘s visage – the key now unlocks an adjacent gate. Approach the dragon-encrusted door to spend your Festival Key, revealing a secret back room brimming with treasures.
Raid the Koin and soul pot stuffed hideaway before the twin dragon statues. Then access the spear altar to change your weapon style. Lastly, inspect the back room corners to uncover rare concept art showcasing Invasion‘s design evolution.
