Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1 are graphic finishing moves that kill opponents in gruesome ways.
While the mainline characters have 2 Fatalities, the Kamoe character roster comes with only 1 Fatality per character. Here is the complete list discussing all Mortal Kombat 1 list of fatalities for each Kameo fighter in the game.
Besides the all Mortal Kombat 1 fatalities list, the Move List reveals Secret Fatalities once a fighter attains Rank 14.
Each player has a pair of Fatality moves: the primary one and a hidden secondary one awaiting activation. Victories in battles award your lead character with XP, and with each Rank advancement, there’s a bonus. The secondary Fatality is consistently revealed at Rank 14 for every player.
Important: Interestingly, even without unlocking them, Secret Fatalities are accessible from the beginning, provided you’re familiar with the correct control sequence.
