In order to solve the RETAL EM EXA Klue, players will need to perform General Shao's second Fatality. To do so, they'll need to press Down, Forward, Back, Front Punch (Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox, or Y on Switch) while standing at medium range. The positioning can be a little tricky for this one, so players may want to stand a little further back than they usually would for a mid-range Fatality. Assuming they manage it, they'll be treated to General Shao's Axe-ident Fatality, after which, they'll be transported back to the map screen as usual. There, they'll see the nearby debris disappear, granting access to the RETAL EM EXA Klue chest.

RETAL EM EXA Klue Rewards

Upon completing the AXE ME LATER Klue, players will receive a Rare komponent, Sub-Zero's Shiver of Fear palette, Sub-Zero's Herald of Winter palette, and 250 Seasonal Kredits. Players can use the komponent to upgrade any non-Legendary talisman by visiting a forge, while the two Palettes can be equipped by visiting the Kustomize menu. As for the currency, Seasonal Kredits are used to purchase winter-themed cosmetics from the Seasonal Store. However, as they'll expire at the end of the current season, players should make a point of spending them all before then.
