Scorpion chests are one type of loot container in Mortal Kombat 11. You’ll find them in the Krypt, and in order to open them, you’ll first need to find a flaming skull, pull it with Scorpion’s Spear, then pay 100 hearts. Finding these fire chests is not much of a challenge, but getting to the skull can be quite difficult. That’s why we’ve written this MK11 scorpion fire chest locations & how to open them guide.
If you’re short on hearts and want to know what’s inside each of these chests before you open them, check out our heart chest loot guide.
