Every Mortal Kombat 1 Kameo Fatality is a little different, as evidenced by the accompanying video which shows each of the finishers in action.

Strictly speaking, players are supposed to unlock the second one by leveling up, but they’ll actually be able to perform it without doing so if they know which buttons to press. The following guide contains button prompts and videos for every MK1 Fatality that can be performed by a playable character as well as links to more in-depth guides explaining how exactly to trigger each one. For those wondering, Kameo Fatalities will be covered in a separate guide.

Updated November 19, 2024, by Tom Bowen: Today sees the release of the fourth Kombat Pack 2 Kombatant, meaning that there are two new MK1 Fatalities for players to sink their teeth into. Those looking to learn how to perform both the first and the second Fatality for Ghostface have come to the right place, as this guide contains button inputs and videos for each of the two finishers.

The videos featured in this guide contain graphic scenes that have been rated ‘Mature’ by the ESRB. Viewer discretion is advised.
