How to Unlock All Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1
Mortal Kombat 1 has really leaned into the blood and guts that have made this fighting game series stand out from the competition. This includes a lot of insanely violent Fatalities, some of which have to be unlocked.
Mortal Kombat 1 is known for its violence. This includes Johnny Cage using his sports car to split an enemy in half and drag them down the street, Geras using fighters’ own bones from a different timeline to beat them with, Mileena eating someone’s brain right out of their skull, and tons and tons of decapitations.
A lot of people are calling this collection of Fatalities the best in the history of the game. But you won’t start with all of them.
How to Unlock the Second Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1
Mortal Kombat 1 players will start with one Fatality for each character but the second one is missing.
If you want to unlock these second Fatalities, you’ll need to level up your fighters. Once a fighter reaches Mastery Level 14, you will learn the input for their second Fatality.
The fastest way to gain experience and level up a character’s Mastery is through online matches. If you win a match you will get a lot of experience. You’ll still get some if you lose, but it won’t be anywhere near as much.
Do You Need to Unlock Fatalities in MK1?
Yes and no.
In Mortal Kombat 1, you’ll start the game knowing the inputs for every character’s first Fatality. This means you’ll need to level up your mains if you want to unlock the input for the second Fatality.
However, if you already know the input it’s not necessary to wait until Mastery Level 14. Here are all of the Fatalities for the fighters in MK1.
