More on Krypt Chests and Unlockables

So I just tried activating a soul container, and it said there was an error connecting to the server and kicked me to the title screen. Tried several more times on different containers and the same thing happened. The containers remain unopened and I initially didn't lose the souls, but after restarting the game I'm now down 100 with nothing to show for it.

I only got to play yesterday, the Krypt update is already out? I didn't get 500k coins...

Are there any 100 Hearts chests that contain Jade, Skarlet or Kitana gear in? Anyone knows where they are and what lanterns to break to open them?
 
I have all the areas unlocked besides the ones opened by the amulet and head impalement puzzles. Did a run through to inventory how much resources I need to open everything. Counted 10 chests requiring 100 hearts, 25 requiring 250 hearts (I know this is common knowledge because they're each associated with a character), and 130 soul spires (don't think I've opened any, but the count isn't complete because I know some exist in the area after the amulet puzzle).

Looks like 7250 hearts in total (assuming no 100-heart chests in the areas I don't have access to), but I reckon most just want to unlock the chests specific to characters they play and don't need nearly that many. And then 28000+ soul fragments if we're including the bridge fix, underwater chest and 10k tree. Coins is anyone's guess... especially if the amount needed per chest is randomized, but the number is probably ~5 million.
 
So I got Shinnok's amulett and got the the 2nd spider place that it unlocked. But where to now? I see no other option to progress in the Krypt?!

I'm confused about what they said of the 600 chests that are the same for everyone but on different locations and the fact that you can replenish chests...

If I use the replenish option... I'm still getting the same 600 items? Are the chests I already opened being filled with crap? Are real items that can only be obtained by replenishing the krypt?

"Noooo! I must kill the lootbox!" Krypt shouted
The radio said "No, Krypt. You are the lootbox"
And then the Krypt was randomized

I have a feeling that refilling the boxes is just a way to allow the player to unlock more augments and modifiers for tower fights. Theoretically, once you open all 600 chests, you'd no longer be accumulating much in the way of consumables, and this seems like a way to give the player the ability to continue acquiring consumables even after you've finished the krypt.

I'd be surprised if anything beyond consumables and augments are reloaded into boxes that have already been opened, but who REALLY knows

No, it doesn't work this way. Basically when you first enter the Krypt it does a roll and place your chests all around the Krypt. From then on that's where they are.

When you replenish, it just recreates some chests you already opened and works only on chests containing konsumables and maybe auguments.

I expect there to be more brutalities in the chests after you've refilled them. If the initial leaked Noob Saibot kustomisation screen is correct then there are about 10 brutalities a character. Dividing them up by 4 in the Krypt and 4 in the towers (since 2 are already unlocked per character). Thats an assumption obviously. But until someone has completed the krypt or the whole game (or datamined it) there's no way of knowing.

ya, could be!

I'm only assuming this because the krypt is rolled and populated for each player the first time you enter. Even if you never refilled any boxes, you SHOULD be able to find every brutality available in the krypt once you've opened everything. And if the game decided brutality 124 is in box AFE in the dead woods, i don't think they'd take brutality 124 out of box AFE and put it into a refilled box. Cuz then they would ALSO have to refill box AFE, which hasn't even been opened yet....

I haven't refilled any boxes yet, but I suppose you could test this by opening 1 box that contains something OTHER than consumables and augments, and then refilling it. If you ever manage to get a fatality or brutality out of that refilled box, then I guess we have an answer

That's how it works. It doesn't move items around after you first enter, the only chests that refill are the ones with konsumables and refill with other konsumables.

It's just there so when you've unlocked everything you could still farm for konsumables.

Well, my guess is that you can't access all of the chests from the get go actually. Lets say the upper sections have 75 chests available, and rhe lair also has 75. That would mean you need to empty and refill 4 times to get all chests. Other than the throne rooms, I think I've seen all areas. No way that i've come across 600 chests. I think you need to refill to access everything from the krypt.

So the first time you open all those chests nothing is randomized except the location. Once you replenish them, then yeah the augments and icons and stuff will be random because there are way too many things in this game to unlock.

Anyone know if Shao Kahn has a heart chest?

Also, I keep hearing meteors hit, but I can't find them. I know about the cutscene one that takes out the Raiden statue, but what about the others? I never see them anywhere after I hear them strike down.
