Mortal Kombat 1: All Fatalities List and How to Do Them

By Jarren Navarreteon

Mortal Kombat 1 fatalities are even more brutal than its predecessors. The time honored tradition of disrespecting a fallen opponent is back and it’s more visceral than ever. Here’s how to do the latest Mortal Kombat 1 fatalities for each character.

How do you unlock Fatalities in MK1?

All fatalities are already unlocked at the beginning of Mortal Kombat 1. You can execute them at the end of each fight with the exception of certain story mode segments. In the final round, whittle down your opponent’s health empty and wait for the announcer to shout out “Finish Him/Her!” to do a fatality and stand at the correct distance depending on what finisher you’re using and then input the button combos to do a fatality. From there just watch as you eviscerate your opponent in style as a last final act of disrespect.
