Fatalities are synonymous with the entirety of the Mortal Kombat franchise and with Mortal Kombat 1, there’s a whole host of them to use. Here’s a full rundown of every Fatality in the game, including the controls you’ll need to pull them off.
“FINISH HIM,” are two words that are still as exciting now as they were 30 years ago. MK fans are serenaded with this sentiment every time they better their opponent. As most people know by now, when these words are uttered, it’s time to unleash hell.
Mortal Kombat 1 Fatalities are as good as they’ve ever been. The power of the PS5 and Xbox Series X allows characters to be obliterated in the most detailed manner imaginable.
To help you out, we’ve put together a quick and easy list of every Fatality in the game, as well as the steps required to execute them.
Every MK1 Fatality & Kameo Fatality
With the game now out, we know every Mortal Kombat 1 Fatality for both the game’s primary fighters as well as the secondary Kameo characters. Each one is a spectacle to behold and it’s definitely worth trying them all out!

Also, to make this easier, here’s a universal control input guide that translates across any controls on any platform.
- Forward: F
- Back: B
- Up: U
- Down: D
- Front Punch: 1
- Back Punch: 2
- Front Kick: 3
- Back Kick: 4
- Kameo Button: KB
- Block Button: BB
Another big thing to consider is that if you switch the side of the screen you’re on and the way you’re facing, this will invert the left and right inputs.
So, if you’re facing right when the fight begins and find yourself looking left at some point, this means your left and right inputs will now be opposite e.g. A left input will now be right, and so forth.
