How to Perform Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1
Fatalities are performed after defeating the opponent and reaching the Finish Him or Finish Her sequence. Move to the required distance and enter the Fatality input before the finishing window ends.
Every playable fighter has two character-specific Fatalities. The second Fatality input may initially be hidden from the in-game move list, but the Fatality itself does not need to be unlocked before it can be performed. Knowing the correct input is enough.
Distance is just as important as the buttons. A correct sequence can still fail when the fighter is standing too close or too far away, which is why every GLN character guide uses practical distance ranges rather than relying solely on generic labels such as Close or Mid.
After working through the entire roster, I found positioning is one of the most common reasons a correct Fatality input appears not to work. Establishing a repeatable reference such as Sweep Distance or Jump Distance before entering the sequence is considerably more reliable than trying to judge an ambiguous Mid range by eye.
Brutalities work differently from Fatalities because they trigger during the Final Hit of the match when the required move and activation conditions are satisfied. For a full explanation of the system, including unlocks, requirements and how Brutalities differ from Fatalities, see our What Are Brutalities in Mortal Kombat 1 knowledge guide.
Mortal Kombat 1 Animalities
Animalities give every playable Mortal Kombat 1 fighter a character-specific transformation that can be performed during the finishing sequence. They were added as a free update alongside Khaos Reigns and do not require ownership of the expansion.
The fighter sections above identify every Animality in the current roster. For the complete collection with transformation details, platform inputs and required distances, see our Mortal Kombat 1 Animality guide.
Mortal Kombat 1 Seasonal Fatalities
Mortal Kombat 1 also has Halloween, Thanksgiving and Winter Fatalities that sit outside each fighter’s two character-specific Fatalities.
These are universal finishers rather than individual character moves. Once a Seasonal Fatality is available on the player’s account, it can be performed by compatible playable fighters instead of belonging to one specific character.
For that reason, the Seasonal Fatalities are not counted as additional character-specific Fatalities in the 35 fighter guides above.
