Fire Well

The Fire Well is an arena that appears to be surrounded by fire and its walls are decorated with the skeletal remains of defeated warriors, the skulls of some fighters even litter the floor, and hellfire burned endlessly and deeply behind the arena's grates. This arena made its debut in Mortal Kombat 4 andMortal Kombat Gold. The arena has returned in Mortal Kombat: Armageddonwith an updated version of itself.

The walls are decorated with the skeletal remains of defeated warriors, and the skulls of some fighters even litter the floor. These skulls can also be used as throwing weapons against your opponent. There appears to be only one entrance from a dark hallway. The Fire Well might be part of the hoaryNetherrealm. Hellfire burned endlessly and deeply behind the grates, as the fallen Elder God Shinnok awaited challengers to add to his collection of mutilated bodies and it is where the heroes of Mortal Kombat did battle with him in order to save the realms from his evil.

A different and updated version of the same Mortal Kombat 4 arena in which the defenders of Earthrealm did battle with the evil Elder God Shinnok was featured in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. On its bottom level, a conveyor belt which players can utilize as a death trap, operates on each wall, with a large wheel at their ends crushing blocks of stone. Should a kombatant lose sense of their footing and be knocked onto the belt, their life would soon end as their bones were ground into powder.
