Image: Push Square

Below is a list of all Fatalities and how to do them in Mortal Kombat 1, including the newly added Animalities.

We've segmented the list by character and included the appropriate button inputs, alongside additional information like the range you need to be from your opponent in order to successfully execute the move.

Please note that Fatalities can only be performed when the Finish Them icon appears on screen at the end of a full two-round fight.

All Fatalities in this guide are written assuming you're facing right. If you're facing left, reverse left and right button inputs for each Fatality.
