Here are all the Klues and rewards in Mortal Kombat 1 Season 1 Invasion Mode.
New for Mortal Kombat 11 is a top-down board-game-like game mode called Invasion Mode, where you explore maps with predetermined pathways and complete various challenges. Some of the challenges will feature Klues – words or phrases that you must decode to unlock special rewards at the end of the challenge.
Here’s everything you need to know about Mortal Kombat 1 Season 1 Klues & Rewards.
Mortal Kombat 1 Invasion Mode Explained
Invasion Mode is an RPG board game-like game mode in Mortal Kombat 1. In this new game mode, you get to explore eight unique maps called Mesa, where you travel on various pathways and make your way to tiles that offer a unique set of challenges.
Green and Gold pathways lead to the next unlocked encounter in the Mesa, while Red pathways indicate locked encounters. Each pathway leads to a challenge tile, which you must complete to unlock new pathways. Complete every tile in all the Mesas to earn rewards such as skins, currency, and in-game art.
Some tiles will feature Klues, which you must decode and complete in the current tile to receive special rewards. (In the next section, we have outlined everything you need to know about Mortal Kombat 1 Season 1 Invasion Mode Klues and their rewards.)
Challenge tiles lead to classic Mortal Kombat battles where your chosen character and Kameo fight against various enemies and their Kameos. (Kameo characters are essentially partner characters that you and your enemy can call upon for extra help in battle.) You can call upon your Kameo whenever their energy bar is 50%.
To make Invasion Mode fights more interesting, NetherRealm Studios added unique buffs and abilities to enemy encounters. The buffs can include Super Armor and even a new set of attacks or moves you won’t typically see from classic Mortal Kombat characters.
Invasion Mode is a seasonal mode that lasts for around six weeks. New seasons will bring new realms, bosses, challenges, and rewards to help keep things fresh and interesting for Mortal Kombat fans.

Conclusion
Decoding Klues can be very tricky in Invasion Mode. While it’s easy to decode the backward-written words, figuring out the meaning and the actions they expect from you is a completely different story.
If you have completed tiles with Klues in previous Mesas, go back and redo the challenge, but incorporate the required actions for each Klue as listed in this guide so you can claim the extra rewards.
