Mortal Kombat’s Fatalities separate the amateurs from the experienced players. Luckily, MK1 gives you more opportunities than ever to actually be taught how to use a Fatality, but even if you dip into the movelist, there will be at least one Fatality missing.

Each main character has two available Fatalities which can be performed at different distances, in addition to each Kameo character having a unique Fatality too. This adds up quickly, but all you need to remember is the Fatality for your main and your Kameo fighter, then everyone will assume you know what you’re doing. Probably.

For every character and Kameo Fatality input in Mortal Kombat 1, just read through our guide below.

How to unlock Fatalities – MK1

Warner Bros

All Fatalities are unlocked from the start of the game – though you may not be able to use them in certain Story Mode sections. If you want to use Fatalities against players online, in Versus mode, or in the Towers, then you just need to input the correct Fatality at the correct distance.

How to perform Fatalities – MK1

Warner Bros

If you first need to actually learn how to input Fatalities – and you want to learn one for your mains – then you should head over to the Learn section of the main menu, which has specific section for Fatalities. This will teach you the primary Fatality for each character in the primary roster – you can also find the inputs for this move on the Move List under Finishers.

But this mode won’t teach you your character’s secondary Fatality, or any of the Kameo Fatalities. Each Fatality is distance dependent, and when input correctly, your controller should vibrate – if you have that functionality turned on during a fighting game.
