In Mortal Kombat 1, Fatalities represent the time-honored tradition of the iconic fighting series – a brutal and gruesome display of victory over your opponent once you've bested them in combat. This latest installment doesn't shy away from the series' signature carnage, featuring the familiar flurry of dismembered limbs and viscera, sprinkled with a dash of cheeky humor. Naturally, you'll want to master these over-the-top executions to conclude your battles in style. Follow the instructions below to unleash these finishers, and be sure to consult the comprehensive list of Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1 to know which moves to input when the moment arises.

As you venture into the world of Mortal Kombat, you'll discover that each character possesses one Fatality, conveniently displayed in their moves list under the Finishers tab. Advancing your characters to unlock a second finishing move can be achieved by playing Ranked, Invasion, or Tower modes with them. However, it's worth noting that you don't need to unlock a Mortal Kombat 1 Fatality to use it. Just follow the sequences I've outlined below, and you can deploy both finishers immediately.

To execute Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1, you'll first need to whittle down your opponent's health until the coveted "Finish Them" prompt graces your screen. At this point, ensure you're positioned at the correct distance from your adversary (close, middle, or far away) and input the precise sequence of moves to unleash your character's finishing blow. Each platform corresponds to specific buttons for these maneuvers:

Please take note that in addition to the individual moves detailed below, every character has the option to perform an Easy Fatality by pressing Front Kick + Block, and an Easy Kameo Fatality by holding Block + Front Punch. These shortcuts offer a convenient way to conclude each match with panache, sparing you the need to commit each character's finisher to memory.
