The Beetle Lair is an ancient area located in the Realm of Outworld. This arena made its debut in Mortal Kombat: Deception.
Overview[]
Introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception, this tomb-like structure, is located high in the Lei Chen Mountains within Outworld. It is said that it was a place of worship for a warrior demigod called the Death Knight, as seen in the carvings on the wall. Blood beetles roam freely, and a powerful weapon known as the Thor Axe is located here.
The Beetle Lair is made up of two different rooms. The first has a beetle glass structure and two pillars, all three of which can be broken. There are 2 stone pillars and huge glass windows which cast light into the fighting area. These pillars can be destroyed by either kombatant. There are many little beetles scuttling around on the floor at the risk of being squished. There are other red windows on the sides of this arena overlooking the lair itself. There are also many doors that appear to go down to the lair too; all of these doors and some windows are adorned with a spider symbol. Directly to the characters' left is a massive red pane of glass with the spider symbol on it.
This humongous red pane of glass can be broken just like the pillars. In the bottom two corners of this arena are huge pots of fire with skeleton warriors etched into the stone beside them. On the same wall with the pots of fire, is a suspiciously bare looking wall.
One can actually hit the latter through this wall making them skating miles away and landing far, far below into the actual beetle lair itself. They land onto the hard stone below. They also fight in a massive room with a very high ceiling. Behind where a kombatant lands are massive wooden doors adorned with that same spider symbol; there are big pieces of rock/brick that looks to have crumbled away next to the doors. To the left and right of the wooden doors are huge pillars with spiders carved into them. On the left and right side walls, there are more pillars and more red panes of glass. To the left of where the kombatant lands, there is a huge red flag adorned with the Mortal Kombat Dragon Symbol.
Here, an axe can be found and used by either player. Both rooms are swarming with flesh-eating beetles, which were intended for a death trap, but the idea was scrapped.
