Violence has always played an important role in Mortal Kombat games, and this is once again the case in Mortal Kombat 1. There's a ridiculous amount of blood and gore packed into the game, most of which can be found by triggering the game's finishers. There are 108 Mortal Kombat 1 finishers in total, with each of the 35 playable kombatants having access to two Fatalities and one Animality, plus three special Seasonal Fatalities.
Mortal Kombat 1: How to Perform Every Kameo Fatality (& What They Look Like)
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 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.
