The Amulet Staff which also known as the Staff of Shinnok, is a golden sceptre once crafted by the hands of the fallen Elder God Lord Shinnok and used as his custom weapon in Mortal Kombat 4. The Amulet Staff is also used to increase the already-immense magic of the Sacred Amulet.
It is an ornate scepter with only 2 prongs almost shaped like horns. It made only one appearance with its black handle in the middle and 4 prongs on both sides (with one shaped both a triangle underneath the oval circle at the bottom, and one shaped like an Omega Greek alphabet letter).
The amplification of the amulet's abilities increase to the point of pure and virtually unlimited power, perhaps even omnipotence. The Staff of Shinnok along with the Amulet placed on it can grant it's wielder the power to teleport anywhere, even in time.
The Amulet Staff's true origin and history is linked to those of the Amulet of Shinnok itself. But like the Amulet itself, the Staff, due to the darkness of Shinnok resonating in it, can also influence and corrupt any individual who wield it, instilling in him or her a dark and tyrannical personality, seeking only power or order.
The Staff of Shinnok was another treasure considered as sacred within the dark faith of the Brotherhood of Shadows, who followed the fallen Elder God's every whim.
What became of the Amulet Staff of Shinnok and the dangerous mystical powers it holds, even after the recent demolition of the Cathedral of Shinnok beneath the Netherrealm Palace by Earthrealm's Special Forces and the involvement of Kronika the Keeper of Time and her dangerous allies under her command including Lady Cetrion the Elder Goddess of Virtue (daughter of Kronika and Shinnok's sister) remains a mystery.
