All Mortal Kombat 1 fatalities and how to do them

Mortal Kombat 1 is here, which means we're all excited to check out the variety of new ruthless fatalities usable in game. It's a bit trickier to unlock additional fatalities this time around, especially compared to some of the older games in the series. However, even if you aren't able to invest too much time, there are still plenty for you to try out from the moment you boot the game up.

To help you go on your very own fatality safari, we've written up this quick guide on all the fatalities available. All characters start with one, which you'll be able to find below.
