| - It is a gold medallion with a green gemstone embedded in its centre. The four sections of the amulet are etched with the elemental forces of Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire. Each includes alchemical symbols, shapes, and parts of I Ching trigrams, all of which pertain to their respective element. Millennia years ago, Shinnok created the amulet as a central focus of his divine power, in a bid to control all of the planets. He was only narrowly thwarted by Raiden. For ages thereafter, the amulet remained mostly unknown and hidden deep within the Temple of Elements in Earth. It was later retrieved by the younger Sub-Zero after the Lin Kuei were hired by the oni sorcerer, Quan Chi. Quan Chi had delivered the fake Amulet to his master Shinnok an exact duplicate, while he kept the original himself. It would thereafter continue to play a major role in the various Mortal Kombat tournaments and struggles for the planets; most notably, during the events of Mortal Kombat 4, when Shinnok would rise from the Never Never Land in another bid for total conquest. Before the events of Mortal Kombat: Deception, when Shujinko gathered all six Kamidogus and placed them on the altar in the Nexus, Onaga, the Dragon King of Outworld, appears before Shujinko and reveals that the seventh and final spot on the altar is meant for the "Secret Amulet" - Shinnok's Amulet in the hands of the sorcerer Quan Chi. Onaga then returns to Outworld to seek this amulet and begin to reshape the planets. The secret Amulet of Shinnok is the only one relic still revered as divine within the twisted religion of the Brotherhood of Shadow because it was the malevolent Elder God's most precious treasure and his greatest creation. The amulet itself is also featured as one of the collectables within the Konquest mode of Mortal Kombat: Armageddon under the name "Quan Chi's Amulet" thanks to the clever deception of the wicked demon sorcerer Quan Chi who have already given his eternal master an exact copy of the real amulet he has stolen. What has become of Shinnok's Amulet and the danger it poses remains uncertain.
