The Red Dragon member, Mavado, is much more skilled and disciplined than Kano, his counterpart in the Black Dragon. His excessive training with the Red Dragon has led him to develop a long-forgotten fighting technique known only to that clan. This technique utilizes ropes with hooks on the ends to propel him in battle.

If you need more study, you can access Mavado's moves by pausing the game and selecting the Moves List. The Red Dragon clan has existed for centuries as a secretive criminal organization. In the last century, many of the more reckless members became dissatisfied with the restraints the code of the Red Dragon placed upon them and broke away to form their own gang, the Black Dragon. Since then, it has been the Red Dragon's number one priority to eliminate their former brothers. It was thought that the Black Dragon had been completely destroyed until one member resurfaced...

Execute Mavado's Dragon Tongue Escape move 3 times. Escape Do not disappoint the Red Dragon. You must complete your task. If you need to study Mavado's moves, pause the game and go to the Moves List. Like the Black Dragon thug, Kano, Mavado uses a double-weapon fighting style. It is rumored that Mavado acquired his Hookswords from the former Black Dragon member, Kabal after a vicious battle. Even though Kabal had only been a member of the Black Dragon for a short time, Mavado had sworn to eliminate him.

If you wish to join the Red Dragon Elite, you must defend the honor of the Red Dragon above all else. Do not lose to this... Black Dragon scum. Try again. The Red Dragon is known by criminal organizations to place a priority on stealth rather than brute force. Mavado is no exception. In his quest to destroy the Black Dragon clan, Mavado ordered his subordinate, Hsu Hao, to pose as a member of the Chinese secret military and 'aid' the Special Forces in capturing or killing Black Dragon members. The Special Forces would therefore be doing the Red Dragons' work for them. Longfist Blast Combining stealth with fighting skill has made the Red Dragon a powerful organization.

Mavado was approached by the Outworld sorcerers, Quan Chi and Shang Tsung, who requested the aid of the Red Dragon. They needed to destroy the Special Forces' techno portals to hinder their ability to travel to Outworld. In return, they offered the Red Dragon sanctuary during the coming invasion. Mavado accepted their offer and instructed his subordinate, Hsu Hao, to complete the task.

In addition to destroying the Special Forces' inter-realm technology, Shang Tsung had one more request. If Mavado could eliminate the Earthrealm spy that Kano had spotted in Outworld, Mavado could name his price. Shocked to find that Kano still lived, Mavado requested the chance to face Kano in Mortal Kombat as payment for slaying the Earthrealm spy. Mavado then traveled with Shang Tsung and Quan Chi to a celestial portal where he had to defeat a representation of his greatest adversary. Grappling Hook Strike In order to traverse into Outworld, Mavado had to defeat a representation of the sorcerer Shang Tsung. He began his attack with his Grappling Hook Strike. Execute Mavado's Grappling Hook Strike 4 times. Grappling Hook Strike The double of Shang Tsung had merely been studying Mavado's moves and began to fight back.

Part 1 Mavado traversed to Outworld with Shang Tsung and Quan Chi and parted ways to search for the man they believed to be a spy from Earthrealm's Special Forces. Surprisingly, the first agent he encountered was Sonya Blade. Mavado had no idea how she had gotten to Outworld after Hsu Hao had destroyed the Special Forces base, but he knew he would have to eliminate her in order to continue his search in secret. Defeat Sonya Blade to continue your quest and obligation to Quan Chi and Shang Tsung. You must defeat Special Forces agent Sonya Blade. She knows of your purpose in Outworld and could warn the Earthrealm spy. Attack again. The Hunt For The Special Forces Spy... Part 2 Mavado defeated Sonya Blade and continued the hunt for the Special Forces spy that the Deadly Alliance felt to be a danger to their regime. It was not long before he was ambushed by Jax. Jax was in pursuit of Mavado's subordinate, Hsu Hao, for destroying the Special Forces base, when he recognized the mark of the Red Dragon on Mavado's back. Although Mavado was not the man he sought, Jax had no problem butting heads with another member of this new and mysterious clan. Defend yourself against the brute force of Jax. You must defeat Special Forces agent Jackson Briggs. Your fellow Red Dragon, Hsu Hao, is unaware that he is being hunted and is in grave danger. Attack again! The Hunt For The Special Forces Spy... Part 3 After a grueling battle, Mavado finally defeated Jax. He continued his quest for the Earthrealm spy and finally discovered him in a town located high in the mountains. The spy was in fact the swordsman, Kenshi. The two warriors squared off and prepared for Mortal Kombat. Eliminate the Earthrealm spy, Kenshi. Once you have eliminated him, you will have earned the privilege of destroying Kano in the name of the Red Dragon. You must defeat the Special Forces spy Kenshi.

It is one thing to defeat a foe that does not share your thoughts. It is a completely different situation when confronting a foe that can anticipate your every move. Your final test will be to face a mirror image of Mavado. If you can win 3 out of 5 matches, you will have completed your training. Good Luck. Win 3 out of 5 matches in a duel to the death. You failed. You have to learn to perform all of Mavado's attacks and also defend against Mavado's attacks if you plan on being victorious. |
