Fatalities have always been one of theMortal Kombatseries' defining features, so their return inMortal Kombat 1shouldn’t have come as too much of a surprise to anyone.Every playable kombatanthas two Fatalities at their disposal, though, technically, only one of these is available to the player right from the get-go, with each fighter’s second Fatality needing to be unlocked.

Unlocking new Fatalities inMortal Kombat 1can be a fairly time-consuming process, but it’s well worth the effort for those looking to add a little extra style to their end-of-fight finishers. Players will also unlock a bunch of other useful goodies on their way toward unlocking their chosen kombatant’s second Fatility, including new player cards, taunts, and Brutalities.
How to Unlock Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1
In order to unlock a kombatant’s second Fatality inMortal Kombat 1, players will simply need toincrease their Fighter Mastery rank to a certain level. Unfortunately, the level at which new Fatalities are unlocked varies from fighter to fighter, so there’s no one-size-fits-all rank for players to aim for. However, players can check upcoming rewards via the Mastery section of the stats screen to get an idea of how much further they have to go. It’s also worth noting thatplayers do not actually need to unlock a Fatality in order to be able to use it.
Granted, they will not be able to find a Fatality’s button prompts in the menu until after they have unlocked it, but providing they know which buttons to press and where they need to be standing in order to perform them, players will be able to triggerevery kombatant’s secondMK1Fatalitybefore they have actually unlocked them. Those hoping to do so can find links to individual guides for every playableMortal Kombat 1character below, where they’ll find the required button prompts and a video showing what each Fatality looks like.
Mortal Kombat 1is available now on PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X|S.
