We tell you how to do all the Fatalities, Kameo Fatalities and Brutalities of Mortal Kombat 1. All the finishers of MK1 and how to perform them.
In Mortal Kombat 1, finishers are back , very beastly forms to finish off our rivals like the classic Fatalities and Brutalities . On this page of our Mortal Kombat 1 guide we tell you how to do each Fatality and Brutality in the game:
What are Fatality, Kameo Fatality, Brutality and Kameo Brutality from Mortal Kombat 1
In Mortal Kombat 1 we have four violent ways to end fights against our rivals. We can use a Fatality , a Kameo Fatality , a Brutality or a Kameo Brutality :
- A Fatality is an execution that we can perform on our opponent after we have taken all their health in the last round . It requires us to enter a specific button combination while we are at a particular distance from the opponent during the few seconds of FINISH HIM! or FINISH HER!.
- A Kameo Fatality is the same as a Fatality, but instead of being performed by your fighter, it is performed by your Kameo (the assist character you chose). It also requires entering a specific button combination while standing at the appropriate distance from your opponent after taking all of their health in the last round and while in FINISH HIM! or FINISH HER!.
- A Brutality is a special way to end fights when the last hit is a specific hit. Each one is activated by specific conditions, such as the last hit we deal to the opponent being a hook when the opponent has little health left.
- A Kameo Brutality is the same as a Brutality, but in this case our Kameo must deal a particular last blow with which to take away the little health that our opponent has left.
How to unlock more Fatality and Brutality in Mortal Kombat 1
When we start the game, we will see that there is only one Fatality per fighter, one Fatality per Kameo and one Brutality common to all fighters . The rest of the finishers for each character are not actually locked, but we have to play and level up with each fighter and Kameo so that each combination is visible . We gain experience with which we level up and unlock the specific button combinations that we must enter for each Fatality and Brutality.
That is, by playing with each character, what is unlocked is being able to see the button sequence for each Fatality or Brutality from the movement list , but we can enter them even if we do not have them unlocked .
How far should you do Fatality in Mortal Kombat 1?
As we mentioned above, each Fatality and Kameo Fatality must be performed at a precise distance . This can be close , medium , far or any distance . Below we leave you three images that will serve as a visual reference to know at what distance the Fatality must be performed :
This is near distance :
