Mortal Kombat 1: All Fatalities

Full list of every fatality available as of now in Mortal Kombat 1, easily from the Steam dashboard and without the hassle of going to a website. Includes all Kameos, DLC unlocks from both Kombat Packs, pre-order bonus Shang Tsung, seasonal Fatalities, and Animalities.

UPDATE 3/18/2025: Added T-1000 and Madam Bo's fatalities.

Preface

Fatalities are an infamous type of finishing move that have been available in every Mortal Kombat game since the series' inception. They're a hilariously over-the-top and graphic way to finish the opponent off, completed with a specific set of button inputs, all of which this guide includes.

There will be abbreviations for movement inputs in this guide, for simplicity's sake, and below lists each one:

- F: Forward
- B: Back
- D: Down
- U: Up (Currently just for Seasonal Fatalities)

Most Fatalities also need to be done at a specific distance away from the opponent, either Close, Mid-Close, Mid, Far, or Any, which will be in parentheses after the button inputs. Learning how close/far each of these distances are might take a few tries, but a general rule of thumb is that "Close" Fatalities are right next to the opponent, "Mid-Close" Fatalities are ~3 steps back from the opponent, "Mid" Fatalities are ~5 steps back from the opponent, "Far" Fatalities are as far as you can get from the opponent in the short time you're allotted to perform a Fatality, and "Any" Fatalities can be anywhere but recommended to be around Mid-range so you don't accidentally hit the opponent after an incorrect input.

Additionally, because some players use various controllers or change keybinds in fighting games, I will be referring to the final inputs used by their name, listed below:

- Front Punch
- Back Punch
- Front Kick
- Back Kick
- Block
- Kameo Assist

If you're unsure of the button/key to perform any of these maneuvers, I recommend getting and learning this information from the pause menu in-game.

@Biscuits The amount of Fatalities in this game is pretty standard to modern MK. I haven't played any of the classic era or 3D era titles, so I can't really confirm anything there, but I've been an avid MK player since 9, and that game and every subsequent one has always had two default Fatalities, at least one special finisher (Animalities in this one, Friendships in MK11, etc), and a handful of Brutalities (which aren't listed here). If you're referring to the Kameo fighters only having one each, remember that these are extremely simply-designed tag characters primarily to just show representation to lesser-known or high-demand characters that they didn't want to turn into a complex main roster character. I think really the only thing differentiating it from MK11 is the lack of stage fatalities, which I would agree should have been included, and was probably something they'd have actually added if they didn't recently make the decision to cancel new content after Kombat Pack 2.

[Biscuits]

hold the phone, Mk1, which some call MKo12 [to differentiate it from MK(x) as in Mario Kart] only has these few fatalities per fighter? I figured there would be lots of stuff hidden - unlocked from offering up your time and effort as per the previous game(s? I'm a LONG TIME MKo player. I had the original on my Amiga, then MKo3 on the Mega Drive. Then nothing till 11 on Switch- enjoyed it so much when I got a Steam Deck I bought MKo9-11. Enjoyable games. Not as good as Street Fighter on a gameplay level.

good stuff
