Amulet of Shinnok



The Amulet of Shinnok, also known as The Amulet, Shinnok's Amulet and the Sacred Amulet, is the powerful, ancient amulet with phenomenal magical powers that is the most magnificent possession and yet greatest weapon of its creator, the fallen Elder God Lord Shinnok. It is among the most potent and powerful of all mystic talismans and other sorcery-based objects within the all realms in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series including the Kamidogu, the Elder Gods' holy artifacts it is once one of. It also can be fused with Shinnok's another own crafted weapon of his own design known as the Amulet Staff.

The sacred Amulet of Shinnok is the only one relic still revered as divine within the twisted religion of the Brotherhood of Shadows because it was the former Elder God's most precious treasure and his greatest creation. The Amulet symbolizes greatness within the magical arts.

In the mainstream timeline of the Mortal Kombat universe, the Amulet is a bronze medallion with a green gemstone embedded in its center. The4  sections of the amulet are etched with the elemental forces of Wind, Earth, Water, anl d Fire. Each includes alchemical symbols, shapes, and parts of I Ching trigrams, all of which pertain to each of their respective element.

In Mortal Kombat X, the Amulet of Shinnok is a gold medallion with the same center green jewel.

What has become of the Amulet of Shinnok and the danger it poses remains a mystery.

The Amulet of Shinnok, under the nickname "Quan Chi's Amulet", is featured as a 50th collectible Relic found on the left corner of a long room containing a large conveyer belt within the dungeons of Shao Kahn's Fortress in the Konquest mode of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
